08/29/2024 - All-Ripken Games - Baltimore, MD Calvin Gardner is a 3B/SS that recently played at the All-Ripken Games. Calvin is an aggressive ballplayer in all aspects of the game whether it be how he attacks hitters when he's on the mound or how he attacks pitchers when he's in the batter's box. At the plate he has a swing first mentality with intent to hurt the baseball which is a good thing. He was able to get multiple hits including an RBI double to center field. That aggression however doesn't take away the fact that he has a really good feel for the strike zone as he was able to draw a walk as well and didn't chase out of the zone much at all. One of his best hits on the weekend came in the form of a well timed flyball to center field he just happened to hit it right at the guy. Overall, he is an all-around really good ball player.
