barrel finding good nice showing simple year
He'd been having a good year down in A-ball, and he's showing why he's up here. He's got a nice short, little, simple swing. He's just finding the barrel every time.

He's staying simple and within himself. He has a short swing that is working.

Fortunately we had the wind going in our favor. He got it up in the wind. On a given night, it doesn't go out.

played seems tougher transition
If he had never played first base, it would be a tougher transition for him. He seems comfortable there, and I think he'll be fine.
