06/24/2011 - Maryland Select Training Jon is a very nice young man that shows an enjoyment in the game. He has a short, quick release in his throws to second base. He will need to long toss to strengthen his arm. Jon needs to take a more aggressive attitude towards his blocking and receiving to succeed at the catching position. He needs to get his body in front of the ball and be willing to give up his body to secure the ball. At the plate Jon shows some promise but he needs to develop a more consistent load and stride. This can begin by leveling his elbows in his stance. Also, Jon needs to allow the ball to travel into the proper contact point. Jon has the skills to have success in baseball if he continues to work hard at his weaknesses.
