2005 Update:
Mega stiff. Essentially same guy if not a step backwards. Gd body with lots of strength.
Unathletic. Stiff hunched over batting stance and he moves around awkwardly. Bat deep in hds.
Poor posture. Hds set up low and out away from body. Tries to shorten up swing too much
which robs him of some strength. FB hitter with minimal feel for bat head and breaking balls.
Doesn't see offspd out of hand at all. Makes same mistakes over and over. Heavy top hd
negates some natural lift he had last yr. Swings and misses a lot. If he connects it will travel. 60
raw power. Esp. easy out against lefties of any kind. Stiffness finds it's way into defensive
game as well. Awkward A/A hurts both accuracy and strength. Comes out inconsis. Can handle
ball right at him but hds stiffen up consid. if he has to move laterally. Bad plays when rushed.
Timid moving back on short pop ups. Bat isn't going to play anywhere on field. Power won't
appear @ upper levels. Lack of athleticism limits defensive value. Not much of a
prospect-should hang around @ org. level hoping things click but I don't see it happening.
