11/08/2012 - Baseball Factory Training & Competition at Pirate City Volpe continues to show in the OF where he has athletic feet / quickness. He utilizes his quick feet well in taking proper routes / angles in tracking down balls but needs to work on getting behind balls more and play through with momentum to his target to continue to improve defensive grades. Throws are accurate, but needs to raise arm slot and build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Joseph shows a balanced setup with rhythm. Hands are loose and work through a level swing path. He needs to work on getting stride foot down lighter and earlier to work on time and improve hitting grade. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to use his lower half more. Once on base, he utilizes his foot speed as he will steal a base with plus instincts. Mental makeup is a plus as he is a great young man that is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
