Let’s see if we can make this a weekly gig again this season. If you’ve got questions, I’ve got — well, if not always answers, at least very long responses!
Hit me with your thoughts on all things Giants’ player development related!
Hi Rog, hope the assignment went great!
Can we dream of a Nico Hoerner outcome for Diego Velasquez? Quality contact, decent speed, a little bit of power and good defense? I ask because Hoerner actually had fewer HRs and SBs in the Minors than he does in the Majors, and he’s quite bulkier than Diego.
Also - it seems like something has clicked for Walker Martin. Any clues to what happened? (Obviously a lot of effort, repetition, and hard work, but any noticeable changes?)
(I understand that it's still early) In your observation, what are some ideas or practices in the context of player development that were introduced by the previous administration and have continued in the current one? Esp. ones that maybe not very prevalent industry-wide?
