He just makes it look easy.

Had great ABs, and runs down a deep ball even after changing direction twice. A lot of seasoned guys couldn’t have done that.

2 hits, walk, 2 RBI IIRC. One was a double.

It’ll be fun to see him take full stride running, I’m not sure we’ve seen it yet. The dude flies down the base paths, and it seems like he’s just half stepping it.

He’s looking legit. But he’s on Football Scholarship, my fear is Spring Football will mess up his focus. Hope O and Paul have a plan too keep him in the Baseball lineup.

A lot of people forget that this kid turned down a $1.8 million signing bonus (projected to draft late 1st round) from MLB so he could play football and baseball at LSU. He’s gonna be fine.

He was the only Tennessee player in HS to ever be awarded Mr. TN football and Mr. TN Baseball in the same year. Rare talent. I’m pretty sure the coaches will work together to let him do both as long as he can handle it. From listening to interviews with him and his dad, it doesn’t sound like grades will be an issue at all. They’re super grounded and intelligent.

Dude got some wheels on him in baseball. Can't wait to see what he does in football. Partly why the defense looked so good at the end of this past season was because of guys like Hampton coming in allowing Jacoby and Delpit to play more to their strengths.

Wait. This can’t be possible. He played football throughout high school and last fall. No year round baseball in high school or hitting in the cage this fall everyday. So, an athlete that is an athlete in the true sense can play baseball. Old Paul maybe figuring this thing out. Hmmmm. Kinda looks like he may have lifted a few weights. Of course, no thanks to baseball.

He went to a very expensive and difficult private school. He’s a very smart kid.

Good to see him connecting well with the ball. I hope this was his coming out party. He's an exciting prospect.

Idk but Sunday Beloso did the dance Marcel Brooks did afternoon his sack against Florida. I like that one better. Should make that the permanent one.
