01/25/2008 - Pre-Season Invitational Tournament - 2008 Norton improved his 60-yard dash time, down from 7.82 to 7.72. Game situations brought out some leadership skills, and showed that he had some feel for the game behind the plate - was assertive and vocal, did a great job of directing the field. In addition, he showed aptitude and the ability to make adjustments - specifically with his application of receiving instruction into the game. Still needs to work to maintain more level shoulders when throwing. Release times were fairly consistent with what we have seen before, in the 2.18 to 2.37 range. At the plate, he needs to continue to work on getting loaded better - hands need to separate away from stride foot. Can also improve weight transfer through contact. Overall, has shown continued progress and shows potential for more given his aptitude and overall set of intangibles.
