06/09/2019 - National Tryout Plus - Medford (Boston), MA Darren worked out at 1B and on the mound during his last workout with The Factory. He showed nice hitting upgrades during the workout. Offensively, Darren hits from a solid base, he has fast bat speed, and he makes hard contact. Darren loads well, works the ball gap to gap, and he uses his lower body. At 1B, Darren has active feet, a presentable glove, and he fields in a square position. He makes plays, works toward his target, and he throws with a short arm action. On the mound, Darren has good size, a deceptive FB, and he competes in the zone with his pitches.
