During BP, he does next to nothing in terms of working and getting ready for the game. Strikes me as the kind of kid who has always been so much better than his competition, that he doesn't understand the work that goes into it. Raw talent will get you so far, but to be successful at AA or above, you have to dedicate yourself to the game.
I totally agree! He WAS always better than his competition. In high school he was a beast batting around .650. But that was in North Carolina's High School league which is notorious for not putting out baseball players like Texas and California. (There are exceptions Hamilton, Roberts, others)
