12/27/2011 - Pirate City Christmas Camp and Tournament - Session 2 John showed well at 1B and on the mound during his time in Pirate City. He has been very consistent both times we have seen him. Defensively, John has soft hands, athletic movements around the bag, and he fields the ball cleanly. He has good actions, makes plays, and throws with a strong arm, accurately to his target. On the mound, John has a controlled delivery, good direction, and he stays inline toward home. He has on-time separation, works in good rhythm and he gets extension with good arm speed. At the plate, John showed an open stance, a still head, and he stays inside the ball well. He can work the ball to all fields, drive gap-to-gap, and he has some pop in his bat. He is a coachable player that wants to learn, and he has the ability to help a college program in the field, on the mound, and with the bat. His versatility is a plus.
