I saw him several times this summer, and he can really hit. Mackenzie Stadium (home of the Blue Sox) is no bandbox, and he put several out of there. No specific complaints on his fielding, but he does look a tad awkward out in the field.
I saw him several times…he could put some weight on and has the ability to become a first rounder in 2013. Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®
