He has a nice cut even on foul offs. Shaded to pull on IF. Nice AB ends in a walk after 5 fouls. 2nd time up with basesloaded he pops out on 3-1 pitch. Ugh. Swing is clean though and his eye is great he reads pitches like a pro. Can be late on heater but shortens swing with 2 strikes each AB and draws 3 WALKS. His eye is MLB ready

Lined single to CF. Gunned down Acosta stealing in 2nd on deense. Whiffs on high FB in 3rd. Lines single to RF. Lines a solid single to LF in 7th, Dude is a beast with the bat speed and approach. Then gives up 3 WP/PB in one inning in 6th in disastrous 7 runs on 1 hit inning and winds up with 5 WP/PB in game. That is not good. It carries over to his final AB with ugly fishing K

Grounds to SS, 2 on and 2 out. Glove is much better today, bat is quiet

Looks off today. Gets some bad strike calls and doesn’t hit in 2 of 3 AB. Groundout scores a run in 5th. Singles on blooper to LF in 7th. He doesn’t impress at plate today until the 9th when he tries to go the other way against the legal shift. Then he is frozen by inside FB for a K. He has work to do to be ready for show.

Lines a solid single the other way to LF. He is hitting well for the most part this year. Also steals 2b. On defense a perfect throw on a SB try with runner from 3b out on a 2-6-2 play.Flied to track in 6th. He is amazing at his tender age.

DH today. Lines out to the track in 1st nice cut - AGAIN. In the 4th he lines out to CF AGAIN a good cut. Gets frustrated with bad call and takes strike 3 vs Harris.He has better swings than results until the 8th when he launches a 2 run HR off Johnson to tie the game at 3-3. Against sidearmer Abney of Cleve/Surprise he strikes out swinging to end game in 10th. He is a special bat even more so for a catcher. WOW.

Up in 1st with one on and 1 out. Lines out HARD to CF. Another excellent AB. He is DH today and sees the ball as well as anyone in AFL and makes good contact quite often.

Rips RBI single to CF in Fall Stars debut. Ugly passed ball in 2nd and Corbin steals at will vs him. Then Salas steals 2b! As with the enitre fall - arm is amazing, bat is amazing, but stopping pitching mistakes is amazingly bad

Ugly half swing leads to an easy 6-3 DP to end 1st. Late on FB in 3rd and 6th for K. He looks way off at plate but much better defensively at catcher tonight. He is still only 18 afterall. Wow future.
