Other Notes :
I did something this morning I used to do quite often - go to the complex and watch practice. I wasn’t disappointed, the energy generated by this group is incredible, even in practice. Skipper Shawn Williams has a ton of energy himself and the players he has this year not only feed of that but increment it! In one of the drills balls were shot out of the pitching machine upwards for fly balls - the target was third baseman Nolan Beltran but the ball carried into medium left field - rather than give up on the play Beltran went full tilt after it and caught it over the shoulder! Had to stand up and clap for that one - it’s plays like that when no one is watching that reflect desire and character - good stuff. Was also impressed later in full squad drills - simulated situations - Coach Williams hit a couple balls into the left field gap - on two separate plays the relay went to shortstop Starlyn Caba. He has a canon for an arm and is very accurate on relays to the bags and plate - each time he threw a seed to home plate and hit the catcher’s glove all the way in the air - as mentioned above he did the same in the game today but put it there on one hop. Must also mention that infielder Juan Villavicencio also has a very strong arm - he’s been playing second base but has the toolset of a shortstop.
