In-Person reports: Five Kannapolis hitters w/ video, quotes

[NorthSideSox72]

Some of these are players I've been asked about, and unlike the guys in AAA, the ones at this level are usually much less well-known. So here's the chance to get to know them.

 

Here are reports on five key hitting prospects in Low-A, with video of each and some quotes from players and coaches. This is exclusive content, and hopefully it is informative for you!

 

Is there a particular one of these players you are high on? Or more than one?

Very nice to see on Micker especially. This is a system begging for hitters to emerge, if he is starting to push past potential and towards his ceiling the system starts to look much better.

Micker making more contact and hitting for average is a step in the right direction, but his walk rate is still terrible and he is still striking out alot.

 

I realize he is young for his level, but without improving plate discipline it's hard for me to see him performing against more advanced pitching at the higher levels.

He's made some big leaps. Yes there are more to make, no one is saying otherwise. Still great to see what's already happening.
