Love this quote from Vizquel. Not a doubt in my mind he would do the same with Moncada and others if he was up here.
There, Vizquel installed him as the team’s leadoff hitter so he could see as many plate appearances as possible. He also gave him no restrictions on the bases.
“When you are in this development period, you have to let him run all the time,” Vizquel says. “I give him the advantage to be on his own, have a green light and let him have a feel for the pitcher to see when he can run or not. Then if he made a mistake, we go talk to him about it. But you have to give him that freedom.”
In 56 games at Birmingham, he stole 21 bases in 27 attempts.
