01/18/2013 - Arizona National Spring Training John is a young (2016 graduate) strong, solid hitting utility player who is very coachable and eager to learn. In the field John fields the ball cleanly seeing it all of the way into his glove. He throws with a short arm action from a 3/4 arm slot. John would benefit from a speed program to help with his range and long toss for his arm strength. At the plate John starts athletically with a solid load and square stride. His level swing path allows him to square up the baseball consistently. John has pull side power and could do even more damage if he did not leak forward off of his backside and softened his stride. Overall John has a lot of potential at the plate and with continued work on his speed/agility and arm strength he could be a well rounded fielder as well.
