I'd tell him to be looking 1st pitch fastball and be ready to hit it since pitchers know he looks at a lot of pitches and K's a lot and will be looking to get ahead in the count . Let the pitchers know they just can't lay that1st pitch fastball in there. Not sure how many of his HR's are oppo so I don't know yet if he's going to see a lot of sliders down and in or they will pitch him away which is why I wanted to find his spray chart.

I cant give you stats for those things, but Keith Law said he calls a good game and handles the pitchers well. He also said he does well controlling the base paths.

Are the AAA parks equipped with the technology n/to capture that data? Or is it just from foot soldiers marking where the hits went? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's hit a good number of homers and driving in a plethora of runs. Love Eloy. And...we've only scratched the service. He is going to produce some monster games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Collins coming up is another “win” for the scouting and player development staff but I think that the Sox were wrong to keep him at C. I felt they should’ve moved him to 1B as soon as they drafted him so that he could purely focus on his bat and swing, which was why he was a top ten pick. The reviews have never been glowing about him behind the plate and now we’re talking about someone who can be a fill in catcher instead of an everyday one or even a backup. It’s not crazy to think that he would’ve been up last year if they just let him focus on the bat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was drafted so high because there was some chance of him being a truly elite hitting catcher, don't know that he'd even be a top 30 pick if not for that.

Andrew Vaughn has that position on lock anyway. The good news is if McCann can remain a positive player for us, then we won't be devastated if Collins move around from catcher to first to DH.

mqr Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Now we have McCann, Colome AND a lefty walker who can’t catch. It’s like Narvaez never left. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has an extremely good eye. His hit tool isn't great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
