How does one get their makeup off the charts? You mean eye black?

look up chipper jones..thats the “makeup” of a ballplayer they mean..by the way who was drafted out of high school(in front of consensus #1 pick van poppel) with the same kind of ability and look what happened with him..shortstop with plus arm, good power, who ended up a hof 3d baseman

just to clear up in case someone thinks im saying he will be chipper jones..im saying he has the makeup they said chipper had when he was first drafted..hardworker, talent, and clearly a desire to become a great player.(or why would anyone draft him)

Pretty sure A: that was sarcasm, and B: Chipper was drafted when Van Poppel told them to stick it, not for any “makeup” reasons.

I just graduated with him last Friday

we have a short supply of good shortstops so this guy is a breath of fresh air.

From what I have seen in videos and scouting reports, he needs a lot of work. And majority of those reports have him more of a second baseman, not a shortstop. He has an average arm, in my opinion. He’s a line-drive hitter, with above-average speed.

I just have one question? what 18 year old do you know that would be rated as a true power hitter coming out of high school when being compared/projected to major league talent (removing people such as pujols).

Did you see him play and if so what did you think about him?
Kyle
Yes. He is mainly a line drive hitter but he has great speed. He’s a very good athlete as shown by the fact that he was also a great WR for the football team at my school. That could make him a very good defensive player.
