11/07/2008 - Dodgertown Select Training - 2008 Young improve his 60-yard dash by nearly a full second, down from 8.75 to 7.84. At the plate, he showed good balance and quick hands. His stroke was short to contact, he was level through the zone, and was able to generate some power to the pull side. Defensively, he showed arm strength and quick actions on double plays. Can work to get his glove down and more out front. As a position player, he may profile a little better at 3B than SS. On the mound, his fastball was 71-75 and went with a 65 curve ball. He threw a lot of strikes, thanks to a balanced delivery and good arm action. Can work to improve his direction a bit, and can use his lower half better to drive down the slope. Is ahead as a position player, but has some ability to work with on the mound as well.
