Did anyone actually see how Basabe looks as a hitter in terms of his stance and approach? That was his PA, right?

 

He has looked solid from the left side. His swing righty in the 9th was as ugly as possible

So we might have another Jose Valentin situation on our hands...well, if Basabe has 85% of the career, it's still a huge win for the Sox because of his speed and defensive tools.

 

Fwiw, 816 OPS career against righties and 598 against lefties (Valentin).

 

 

 

Hit: Left-handed, stands slightly open with slight crouch. Has a small leg lift. Keeps hands in good position to hit. Pull approach. Right-handed, stands more square to the plate and crouched. Short stride; hands in good position to hit. Plus bat speed from both sides. Left-handed swing appears more advanced; more length in swing from right side. Very aggressive early in counts; first-pitch swinger; wants to hit. Poor pitch recognition leads to lots of swing-and-miss; will improve with experience. Still in the early stages of developing an approach, but will take a walk if the pitcher doesn’t give him anything. Potential fringe-average hit tool.

No idea at this stage but he was better vs LHP last year
