10/19/2011 - Arizona Junior Fall Classic - 2011 Eric is a 2013 graduate and plays first base, as well as spending some time on the mound. Defensively, he has good pre-pitch movements that give him good feet at first base giving him the ability to center everything up. Eric's defensive abilities should continue to develop as he learns to get in a more athletic fielding position. At the plate, he has good balance and his hands work well, but he needs to let his hands continue to work through the hitting zone after contact. On the mound, he has simple movements, good in line direction, and throws strikes. His pitching tools should continue to improve as he finds some tempo and learn to get extension on his curveball. With two years of high school baseball remaining, Eric has the opportunity to continue to develop his skills and prepare for the next level.
