Walks on nice 3-2 take to start the game. He is early on all the low 80's stuff from Rojas and hits several hard fouls before another walk. He is a pesky bat. Lines out to CF hard grounder in hole for hit in 6th. Could make it in show

Great contact skills. Lines single up the middle with a contact approach (lift arms). Steals 2b and 3b and scores on sac fly. I love this guy. He is a contact scrappy hitter

He turns 3 ways going straight back in CF. Makes an easy catch into an adventurous one. He has work to do to play CF. Shows excellent bat to ball skills again in 6th with a lineout to LF for sac fly. In extra inning he tries to bunt over Manfred Man. He is a determined focused contact guy with smooth level swing.

easy out in 1st. Line out hard to LF in 3rd. Great catch by 1b on foul robs him in 5th. Singles to LF in 6th. 3 run HR to cap big inning in 7th. Obviously, I still love his game and mostly his swing is incredible

He slips and falls down chasing a ball on LF line goes for ground rule double. Walks on patient AB vs Diamond in 5th.

Pitchers here are not pitching to him now. Walks first 2 times and then lines a single to LF. Amazing.

Lines a 2 RBI double in 2nd. Rips line drive singlee to CF coming back from down 0-2. This guy is the best contact hitter in AFL in 2024. Such consistent level swings at everything. And he makes some good plays from 3b and 2b.

Takes an HBP after going down 0-2 in count. Steals 2b of the pitcher was half way there by the time he threw it. He is incredible at reading pitcher moves. Then does it AGAIN stealing 3b before the ball gets to plate. That steal sets the all time record for steals in AFL history. That is not only about his speed but also about how many times he has been on this year. Wow, what a year. HBP in 2nd time up as well but a runner on 2b he gets the back end of a double steal! He keeps hitting too and adds another hit in 6th on strong liner to LF. He rattles the pitcher bouncing like he will run again and Troy gets a HBP to finally reach. Dude is unstoppable. Then teals 3b without the pitch going home - now 2 SB ahead of all time record. Trying to make a record never to be beaten. If he isnt AFL MVP they should cancel the award. I cant understand why he would not be yankees 2b next year.

Lines a 2 RBI single to CF after 4 fouls on 3-2 pitches. Then steals AGAIN. Out on pop and fly in AB around the hit. Next he wails on a hanger off the wall in LF for an easy RBI double. Then lifts a solo HR in 7th. Walks to lead off the 9th and steals 2b (of course) then scores on a foul fly to RF caught but not thrown back in time to keep Durbin from scoring from 2b. Wow. WOW. The greatest AFL season I have ever seen and that is not overstating it at all.

Fails twice in early game including easy 6-3 out with runner on 3b and 1 out. Goes out 5-3 in the 5th and pops foul to 1b in 7th. He manages to chop a IF hit in 9th. Who is this guy and what have you done with Chad Durbin?

Gets outs by blowing 92 MPH fastball by people. But in 2nd and 3rd he is geetting hammered with long outs and HR. Allows 4 runs in 3 IP. He just doesn’t have the velocity and depends on hard stuff too much

He is an athlete. Walks. Has quick bat, needs work on pitch recog. He could emerge. He has learned to cut back swing with 2 out and loops a RBI hit in 3rd. Lines another single on controlled swing. Slams a 3 run HR in 6th on great swing after winning a challenge on K call. He is great eye and swing. Nice check on 3-2 pitch in 7th. Steals 2b - athletic

He makes great contact almost every time up. Lines a single to RC in 4th and hustles it into a double. This guy is worthy of the hype. He is long an spindly in legs and gets great strides for speed. Love his game.

He has a long lanky build and it leads to a long swing too. But when he lines one to RF it turns into a triple with ease with his shocking speed. Later, he outruns arelay to avoid a DP groundout. He is not polished even at age 24. But his raw skills are impressive

Lines a ball to the wall in 3rd on last pitch by Fleury

On in the 2nd inning and gives up a RBI single to make it a 5 run Peoria inning before stiking out Sanabria to end it. He doesn’t impress in any way in 3rd either but he escapes thanks to grounders right at IF
