11/05/2009 - Pirate City Select Training Nekoe is a young, 2014 grad that plays 1B and OF. At 1B, Nekoe has good hands, a good throwing motion, and pretty good arm strength. His arm has actually improved from the last time we saw him in June, 2009. As Nekoe continues to grow and mature, it will be important for him to work on his agility and quicken his feet. On the mound, Nekoe has good mound presence, a good set-up, and he hides the ball well. He works at a good pace and is around the strike zone with all of his pitches. Nekoe's ability on the mound should improve if he can avoid flying open and work to finish all of his pitches in the proper landing/finishing position. Offensively, Nekoe has good bat speed, and he finds the barrel well. It will be important for him to correct his balance and level off his swing as he continues to grow and become stronger.
