I agree the kid has a ton of power and a quick bat but if you can't hit it doesn't matter.....kinda like being the fastest, highest jumping, best route running WR on the field...if you can't catch it doesn't matter.

Isn't that the definition of a CB?

Mike Hessman says it doesn't matter if it's the PCL or INT, lol
