How did Webre do at 1B?

Great kid
My son grew up with him
Been watching him mash since 5th grade

His bat is good enough to put up with some growing pains at 1st. Kid is going to be really good.

He bailed slaughter out on a play I recall. Looked really good.

If it’s the one I’m thinking of be went up the right field line side to help smith out on a throw. Nice stretch and able to stay on the bag. Helped keep ND at 6 after we thee the 4 spit up.......maintained mo.

People think 1st should be pretty easy for guys who’ve played middle infield/3B their whole lives. But it’s a whole different beast. It will take him some adjustment. Like knowing which of his pitchers are good enough athletes to get to those inbetween plays like Ben pointed out last night. But he’ll get he hang of it quickly. I thought, everything considered, he looked really nice over there. Unless there’s an injury, I doubt he gives that position up.

He played well but is still getting comfortable and used to the footwork around the bag. Made some good stretches and catches.

He also didn't cover first base once on a ball back to the pitche

. That ball was a roller between him and the pitcher. That was the second baseman’s fault dumbass.

How was he in the field?

He had one mistake when he left first base uncovered trying to get to the ball on a swinging bunt that Gilbert easily fielded but had no one to throw to at first.

But it was a "hustle" error trying to make a play.

A couple of throws made him look a little awkward with his footwork but he caught the throw each time for the out.

I guess I'm saying he looked like a freshman a couple of times.

He made one mental error charging a ball that ways kinda in no mans land.

Other than that, he was phenomenal. He made some really nice stretches.
