continue good hands reason starting third
We're working on little things with his hands and feet. Nothing major. He's starting to feel comfortable with the things we're doing. He's still learning. But he's young and he'll continue to work. There's no reason he can't be a good big-league third baseman.
ball fly free hand impressed impressive nice
I was really impressed with him. He's nice and free and easy, and, boy, he's huge. Big boy. It's pretty impressive to just see the ball fly out of his hand without any effort.
ball coming hand last looks looser totally
I think he looks totally different than he was last year. He's looser and freer, and the ball is coming out of his hand real well.
handled help hoping maybe
Maybe I should have handled that differently. I don't know. I'm hoping a lot of the things I did now will help us in the future.
guys handled himself kid
For a kid getting his first taste, he's handled himself pretty well. Ideally, those are the guys that may come quick.
athletic bit great hands quick watched
We'll see how it goes. But I like his body. He's got a great athletic body, of course. I watched him a little bit in BP, and he's got quick hands and he's got speed.
ball bit funky hand pitcher seen threw
I think you just have to give the pitcher credit. He threw the ball well. Usually the pitcher has the upper hand when you haven't seen him, and he was a little bit funky with his delivery.
ball balls coming hand last looks totally victor
I thought Victor got the ball down really nice. I just think he looks totally different than he was last year. It looks like he's looser, freer, and balls are coming out of his hand real well.
few handled himself hits
He's handled himself well. But I'd like to see a few more hits here and there.
gotten hands hits strong throws
He's gotten some big hits for us. He's strong and he's got those big, strong hands and if he throws them on you he can make something happen.
handle knows pitching veteran
He's a veteran guy. He knows how to handle a pitching staff.
bat certain hands plate poise speed willing
His hands have been good. I like his approach, I like that he's willing to take a walk. He has a certain poise at the plate with some bat speed at the end of his swing.
bat swinging
We've been swinging the bat well all year. Everyone contributes to that.
couple good leaving pitchers ran shut
We just ran into a couple of good pitchers and they shut us down after leaving Arizona.
