08/05/2009 - Pirate City World Series - Session 2 Mark continues to show steady improvement as a two-way player. On the mound, showed good balance and rhythm throughout motion. Had good hip rotation which allowed him to use lower half properly. Good front side lead allowed him to finish pitches and be in good fielding position. At the plate, demonstrated good bat speed as he stayed balance. Hit line drives from gap to gap as he went 4-10 during the event. As he utilizes his lower half properly, power grade will improve. At 1B, showed sure hands as he made all plays. Made accurate throws to each bag that he threw too.
