Luke a.k.a. LA / Belmont

[BorneDawg]

Starting to hit his stride.
8 game hit steak
Only 9K in 52 AB .300+
HR and had one robbed
Facing mid to hi 90's Fb & nasty sliders.
Shortened swing + not having to take strikes just seeing and hitting

Great news, we're going to need him.

Vansau is lighting it up too so far. Went 5-5 with 6 RBI last night including a 420 ft bomb to dead center.

Excellent news on both. I think Luke will be much improved, but I really think vansau blows up next year. Wish we'd give vansau a look at 1b

How good is the competition they are facing, not asking to put em down I just really have no clue about those offseason leagues or whatever

Alexander is in the Cape, so he is playing great competition. Vansau is not playing quite as good of competition as LA, but not terrible....and 5-5 is great regardless. Vansau is hitting like .615 or something crazy in his last 20-ish at bats.

Here's a write up on Vansau from last night...

Vansau is in the West Coast League I think.

Good. Would be really helpful is belmont can hit at sec level.

Wake me up in February.

Sounds good. Belmont had such a long swing I couldn't stand it, but when he got a hold of one he would rope it. Problem was that was very seldom. Glad he's shortened his swing, that should help him out a good bit. And cut down on the K's for sure.

I like that 21 on Vansau in that HR pic in the article. I love his swing too. Reminds me of a former Bulldog HR hitter, that's a pretty good dude, that hit from the left side of the plate also and wore the same number.....

Luke's been hitting to both sides and bomb was prob in the 425 ft range. The is an article.on him but don't know how to link it. You can follow on Twitter. He's been playing 2nd and some 3rd base.

Thanks for the link

[BorneDawg]

And the pitching is pretty salty! Seeing 96-97 regularly some bumping 100 and the rotate about every 3 innings so always fresh. He's been a lot of sliders too

@cotuitkettleers is his team's Twitter account

thank you. seems like we see sunshine threads like this every year then the WTF'S begin once the season gets going.

Both have been playing more 2b than SS. Stovall has played 3 of last 4 at 2b.

I love Alexander and Stovall. Hopefully Stovall gets his bat going. He's hitting .237 right now

[I seen it dawg]

Not worried about Stovall at any position or at the plate.

Ding ding. Da ding ding ding.
