Look at MJ, he had such a great talent for basketball...tried baseball and found out he wasn't fast enough and hitting was not his brightest candle. Hand and eye carried him some of the way, but not the Big Time.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-10106377079611029842015-02-04T17:31:35.533-05:002015-02-04T17:31:35.533-05:00It's absolutely the hardest simply because of ...It's absolutely the hardest simply because of the minor leagues. That's before factoring in how hard it is to hit a baseball and all the fundamentals and such.

I like this kid, he has his head on straight and priorities in good order.<br />Wish him the best of luck, as I think that is one of the toughest things to do...stick with it all the way to the Big Show and stay there!<br /><br />I sometimes wonder if the fans ever realise how much competition there is for each infield position? This kid, as with most, is competing with 8 2nd basemen for the Yankees x 32 other teams 256+, 2nd basemen with more every year. As we saw with Didi, one must count the other teams players also!<br />I love competition, but baseball is probably the hardest sport to make it to the Promised Land...bar none!<br /><br />This answer to one of your questions was a golden nugget for me... 'I also worked on being more balanced and making consistent contact offensively'. I keep preaching that to the players I work with all the time.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.com
