    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.

    I just said that because that's what the announcers kept repeating about him during the College World Series that year. It started to become a running joke.

    Sorry didn't catch it. And announcers say that way too often. Not many legit 5 tool guys out there.

    Im guessing a 5 tool baseball player is the equivalent of a Swiss army knife football player.

    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.
