11/16/2017 - Baseball Factory Select Training & Competition at Pirate City (Ages 12-14) Joe has a solid build and is an athletic 2024 3B/C prospect. Joe has tremendous upside and showed a high baseball IQ. He is a hard worker and made several adjustments over the weekend at Pirate City. At the hot corner, Joe has active pre pitch movement and good range on the ball. He plays through his backhand and makes accurate throws across the diamond. Continuing to work from the ground up, and funneling the ball into his body will help him consistently make the routine play. At the plate, Joe has a simple stance and has good pitch recognition. He stays balanced through contact and hits the ball to all fields. Getting his front foot down earlier and getting his hands into the launch position will help him be on time at contact. Continuing to Attack the inside part of the ball will create backspin. Joe will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.
