11/11/2010 - Pirate City Select Training Mark showed solid improvements in his game on the mound, in the INF, and at the plate during his time at Pirate City. On the mound, Mark increased his radar velocity from 72 to 76 MPH, as well as his CB grade. He is an aggressive Pitcher with good balance and good arm speed. He has good athleticism, nice control, and he has the makings of a very nice CB. Improved direction and continuing to add arm strength will help mound effectiveness continue to improve. In the INF, Mark has good hands and feet, and nice range. He has athletic actions, he makes plays, and delivers the ball accurately to his target. Continuing to quicken his feet and add physical strength will help INF skills rise. At the plate, Mark is a disciplined hitter with good barrel accuracy. He is a coachable player with a level swing and some pop in his bat to all fields. Mark needs to stay back on the ball and throw his hands more directly to the ball in order to further improve offensive grades.
