At bat, he does the special K. Way off on his swings late often and Acuna makes it a 3 K day for him

Flyout to track in 1st. Lined single to RF.Dude has electric bat speed when he makes contact. And great range and arm at 3b today! Takes a key walk in 7th and whiffs vs Church in 9th. This is his game in a nutshell - good pitching gets him, bad pitching he punishes

Whiffs in 3rd, does nothing notable today.

Does a nice job with runner on 3b with one out lifting a deep fly to RF for sac fly. Don’t think he was trying but maybe he was

He is early on swings again today hitting long fouls to LF

Once again he looks pretty bad in sevaral AB then connects on middle FB for a HR in 6th. In 8th, he walks after fouling off several 94 MPH FB. Not impressed even with a HR today thrown in by him. In 10th, with 2 on and 1 out, he fails
Nov 07, 2024
He is really good at making solid contact with balls in hit zone. Singles in 2nd and 3rd today shorter swings. Better contact today with shorter swings.

The clear star of the HR derby with massive and consistent shots. As I have seen the whole time here, he leans back for long stroke which generates amazing bat speed. But can he get to and react to a pitch not In the kill zone? Not against great pitching for sure.

When he hits it - it goes a LONG ways. He skies one that gets deep to RF for out in 4th. His rocking swing is long to the ball but generates optimal bat speed and it goes when he hits it. He can pick it at 3b as he demonstrates in 5th. He takes pitches well the question is can he get to hard stuff with that cut? Or worse yet late break offspeed - his real bugaboo in AFL.
