07/27/2012 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City Tristan Hawkinson- Tristan is a tall/athletic 2016 graduate who plays OF. He has well above average arm strength, loose arm action and he is accurate to his target. In the outfield he is sure handed, takes good angles to the ball, he displayed active footwork, athletic fielding position, good agility and he is a hustler. Tristan just needs to continue to polish his skills (fundamentals) and long toss for arm strength. At the plate he has an athletic set-up, short/square stride and his lower half gets through. Tristan needs to develop a smooth load (without a hitch), keep his balance centered, let the ball travel into the proper hitting zone and adjust his swing path from chopping down to being on-plane to the pitch. Tristan possesses all the physical ability and has the baseball skills to be very successful in the future if he makes the adjustments and works hard to implement them into his game.
