12/27/2011 - Pirate City Christmas Camp and Tournament - Session 2 Stanton showed similar abilities as we had previously seen in Marlborough, MA. Feet are active as he works in line to his target through a clean transfer / exchange. Pop times show a range of 2.20-2.28 with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength with carry. Receiving / blocking skills are playable and show potential as he continues to develop. At the plate, John shows a wide balanced setup. He makes consistent contact as he works to keep his hands inside the ball to utilize all fields. His lower half works well through the swing with power numbers improving as he learns to load more and transfer his weight through his lower half. Mental makeup is a plus as he is a great team player, is very coachable, and a hard worker.
