Oct 04, 2023

Doubled, singled twice. Has good bat speed when he connects

Oct 07, 2023

Lines double off the wall in 1st, swings at pitch at ankles in 3rd for K. Looks like he can play 3b until 6th with ugly throw to 2b on force. Inconsistent in all phases

Oct 18, 2023

Swings throuh Dodd velo. Vs McSteen in 6th he rips one off the 2b glove for IF hit. In the 7th he cranks a long HR to LF and doubles off wall in 8th. Looking improved and more confident every game here.

Oct 25, 2023

He has the arm for 3b but lacks the balance and finesse at times. Costs Peoria a run in 1st when he drops a relay with the runner heading home dead to rights.

Oct 26, 2023

Strikes out on chg from Lynch in 1st. In 4th against Zerpa he hits a shot for single to CF then homers off him for the lead in the 6th. Still needs to improve pitch recog as he strikes out swinging on 2 balls in dirt today as well

Oct 28, 2023

Greeted by Laskey and takes a slider for strike 3. Whiffs to end the rally in 5th. Shows strong arm from 3b even if bat is slumping. In 7th he whiffs again, a REALLY bad day at plate

Nov 01, 2023

Strikes out leading off the 2nd and 5th. Hits a flyout to track in CF in 7th. Not much production but the same game we have seen over and over this fall by him.

Nov 03, 2023

Struggles to find consistency at plate. Pops up late on swing in 2nd. His glove was on today with a nice play on chopper with runner on 3b and a great stab with 3 on in 6th. In 3rd he chops it to 1b and it goes through him and the RF too and he winds up on 3b. Triples legit in 4th lining it so hard the CF could not get it right over his head off wall. Same all fall - has moments of glory and frustrations
