Larry: It looks like Zack Collins made a swing adjustment. How do you think it will affect his future outlook?
Keith Law: I just saw him Tuesday. He did not make a swing adjustment. He was also atrocious behind the plate.
No home runs hit on the first day but there were some big velos. Travis Sthele 93-96 Jared Jones 91-94 Mick Abel 89-93 Cade Horton 91-93 Case Williams 90-93 LHP Dax Fulton 89-93. Tanner Witt and Jace Bohrofen had a couple hits.
The Area Code games start today. Last year there were 2 home runs hit in the entire event and both were by Illinois guys. Jason Hodges and JD Gladney. I think many more will be hit this week.
The new scouting director's (boy that's fun to say) first point of business should be that no one is allowed to turn in a 1B only. If he's a 1B only scratch him off your list.
The lack of consistent contact is/was an issue and it showed in his brief time in the bigs. An adjustment had to be made and I'm glad he made it. He looks like a much more dangerous hitter now.
I get it but it's not like he was tearing it up down there. He's had his share of ups and downs. Either way it's great to see. He's gotta be confident as all hell. I bet he's running to the yard everyday.
