02/22/2013 - Yankees Spring Training Experience (Ages 14-18) John continues to show solid abilities in his game. Defensively behind the plate, he made progress with his blocking. His active footwork helps him to get around balls in the dirt and center them off of his chest. John has a clean exchange and gets in-line with toward his target when throwing to 2nd. Working on his receiving with a softer mitt will help his abilities behind the plate. As a hitter, Napolitano displays an athletic setup and good balance. He makes consistent contact and works all side of the field, hitting line-drives. Smoothening out his rhythm will help him to get into a loaded position earlier and increase his power at the plate. John is coachable and showed the ability to make in-game adjustments. As only a 2014 graduate, John still has time to improve in his game.
