Long toss will help lower pop times. Hands are soft when receiving and body gets down quickly to block balls in the dirt. At 2B, Quade has a balanced approach and he defends the slow roller well. He needs to play through the ball a little more, but he has good footwork on turning the double play. At the plate, Quade has quick hands and good use of the lower half. Everything is level and he hits a lot of line drives. As he gets stronger, his power should increase.
