He does have a little bit to learn about pitching, learning about hitters, situations in games, things like that. That will come. Anybody at the age of 19 is going to be in that same situation. The things that he has that the average 19-year-old, sometimes 25-year-old guys don't have. And that's what's going to carry him.
He looked no different now than when I first met him (in January). He's happy and excited.
But I sense a fair amount of experience in the room, along with the youth.
The key thing to do with them is keep the rabbits off the bases.
I had to get back in the count, so I came up a bit and he hit it well. But he could as easily have popped it up.
I feel I'm entitled to make my own decision.
I let Guerrero get his arms extended, and while that's usually a mistake to any power hitter, it isn't necessarily so to him. He has no strike zone. He'll hit the ball below the zone, the ball away, and he'll cheat inside and put good wood on it. So you choose your poison.
All in all, I felt like I was able to keep us in the game. We had some chances. And we fell short.
He can hit the ball out of the park anywhere, probably out of the Grand Canyon.
I'm sure it's going to be a challenge for him. But the way I look at it is, last year, we went through seven catchers. That was a challenge in itself. If I can get through that challenge, I don't think this year will be too bad.
