Third Example: Is a big first baseman. This young man does not run like a gazelle, does not have a great arm. (average at best) He is not what you would term �athletic� but he is not fat. However he made points with several of the coaches in attendance.
Of course you have guessed it by now �. The young man can hit with the best of them.
There is a little more to the story though. He can hit to all fields with power. He displayed a good ability to �go with a pitch.� He showed a good knowledge of the strike zone. I personally did not see him chase a bad pitch.
With runners on second and third and no outs in a one run ball game this young man hit a ground ball to the right side of the infield. He did this with a 2-strike count. He made an out and the run scored. He did his job for his team.
He hit a home run or two over the weekend, a double or two to the spacious gaps, had several �screaming� singles, but more importantly he hustled!
This player ran hard on and off the field, every inning He did not quit as most of his teammates did in a blow out loss at one point in the tournament. As one pro scout commented to me �. �A �player� never changes his game, no matter what the score. A �player� plays as hard if his team is behind seven runs or ahead seven runs, or if his team is in a one run ballgame."
