    Great teammate can absolutely smash! Protects the pitcher very well also!

  2. Ryan Smith says:

    Hits middle and gaps with consistency, & can cut it out when needed.
    Great reads & glove in the field
    If he doesn’t hit near .700 every tournament he’ll fire himself.
    The better the competition the better he plays.
    Not much more to say except that he will produce and not make many mistakes.
