11/12/2016 - Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend (Ages 14-18) Dakota continued to show his skills at the Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend. Dakota sets up in a square stance and takes a short stride to the ball. He is fluid getting back into his load and he comes through the zone with decent bat speed, leading to solid contact. Dakota can improve as a hitter by taking a more open stride to allow his lower half to be more explosive. Overall, Dakota is a solid hitter who has the time and potential to further develop his skills.
