Hunter actually wrote that line in the Napoleon Dynamite script where Uncle Rico says "back in '82, I could throw a pigskin a quarter mile", lol.
He's a 4 tool player. But the good news is his power tool has over ridden his lack of the hit tool. This is a big year for him. He's picked it up lately. But needs to hit lots more hr w the avg he's putting up.Quote:

Statcast had him at 101.9 mph on a throw home a couple years ago.
He was a 5 tool player in college but his average didn't translate to MLB. Jobu no like curveball. He does have a top 5-10 arm in RF though. Not many guys could make that throw. He is a little better than average defensively and has power for days. He just needs to actually hit more often. Hitting .220 with only 10-15 HRs won't cut it if he wants to be a starter.Quote:
