02/22/2013 - Yankees Spring Training Experience (Ages 14-18) Joe continues to show as a 2-way player; in the INF as well as on the mound. Defensively at SS, he presents his glove, shows decent pre-pitch movements, and works to get into a square fielding position. He works his glove from the ground up, which help to avoid getting bad hops. Continuing to add arm strength will help this SS progress his game. On the mound, he has a repeatable delivery and pounds the zone, throwing strikes with all of his pitches. Earlier separation and more extension out over his front side should help to improve his effectiveness on the mound. As a hitter, Tristan shows good rhythm, getting himself into a solid loaded position, keeping his weight back. His upper and lower 1/2 work well together as he remains balanced throughout his swing, squaring up the ball consistently. Creating extension through the ball at contact will help to increase his power. Jose will continue to improve in his game through hard work.
