01/15/2010 - Under Armour Pre-Season All-America - 2010 Eric is a solid 2-way player with good baseball instincts at both positions. At 1B, Eric has a strong / accurate arm and good footwork around the bag. He makes plays on balls hit his way, and with lighter feet, and by fielding the ball further out in front of his body, defensive skills can improve. On the mound, Eric's FB touched 85 MPH, and he creates a downhill throwing plane. He keeps the ball down in the zone and keeps hitters off balance. Eric gets good extension on his pitches, and with better balance and more use of his lower 1/2, pitching can continue to improve. Offensively, Eric has good balance and bat speed. He has a good load, can hit to all fields, and has pop in his bat. With looser actions, improved barrel accuracy, and better rotation, already solid hitting numbers can get even better.
