08/05/2012 - College PREP - Dublin (Columbus), OH Charlie is a thin and athletic looking second baseman that will graduate in 2014. Defensively, he shows good pre-pitch preparation, active feet and good range to both sides. He shows sure hands, a quick and clean release to throw with good accuracy to his target. He tends to play on his heels a bit causing him to play too high and field the ball deep in his stance. A wider base while fielding will improve this situation and allow him to play through the ball. At the plate, he shows a square stance with a short stride and good balance throughout his swing. He keeps his head quiet, makes good use of his lower half and shows the ability to hit the ball to all fields. He needs to keep his hands inside the baseball more consistently to help with better barrel accuracy and needs to have a better load to use his legs to drive the ball. Charlie is very young, has good speed and will continue to improve his game with more physical maturity and hard work.
