Personal
Great range at all infield and outfield positions – good first step and read off the bat. Anticipation and instincts in the infield are standout.
Offensively a really tough out, HR power pop is there, can get the job done at any part of the lineup.
Catcher would be the only real adjustment defensively. Developing relationships/feel with pitchers would take longer than most catchers since I don’t play the position often, but happy to play there as well. Any other position in the field, I feel comfortable and confident in my ability to perform.
Blue collar first and foremost – 1st in, last out of the cages mindset. My goal is to bring energy and fun to the ballpark each day. Utility in leadership and play. If the teams needs a LF, happy to play, if the team needs a vocal leader, happy to speak up.
