His fielding skills are incredible though.


That's why you gotta keep him on the field. He has disappeared offensively lately.

Not nearly that simple


Yea it pretty much is.

Bats won't be the problem.

It's walking guys and getting high in pitch counts early on. We walked 10 and still almost beat SC in game 2.

Needs to stop swinging at literally everything. Reminds me of Javy Baez his rookie year.




Yep and not the fences. Dude needs to shorten his swing up and get into a rythym. He has good technique but has been trying to Happy Gilmore it after the regional.

But yea, he can bat .100 and his fielding makes up for it.

Swing hard so when you hit it, it goes is our approach.

Dom will be fine if he quits chasing out of the zone and swings at good pitches.

Huge loop in his swing this season, which is why he's continuously popping the ball up. He needs to shorten up his stroke.

Need Kjerstad to step it up in LF though, he's been a serious liability lately.


This worries me a bit.

Kjerstad will be a lot better in Omaha. He won't have the sun in his eyes nearly as much as it is in Baum.

and hopefully Martin keeps it up at 3rd.


Martin has been killing it lately. He's making Web Gems look like routine plays. That kid is gonna go Top 5 in a couple of years if he keeps it up.

Eh, he's got issues. Dropped a couple routine flys that were well above the sun.

Cortez wasn't having the same problems.

He had a couple diving grabs in the super that made your eyes pop, then he makes a great throw to get the out and it's hard to believe he's a true freshman.

Kerstad has been solid out in left today.

We're dialed in for sure.
