Royal Minor Leaguers Taking Swings

Here are some video's I shot of Bubba Starling, Elier Hernandez, Cameron Gallager and Adalberto Mondesi while at spring training along with a few observations.

The ranking is weighted organization ranking Craig created a while back with Myers and Odorizzi removed.

Bubba Starling (#2 Royals Prospect)

Starling looks great, except when he swings the bat. He has such a long, slow swing. It seems better than the 2nd video shot last year.

Cameron Gallagher (#15)

Gallagher impressed me the best of any of the hitters on the two A-ball teams. Nice power and contact skills. I watch him behind the plate. Nothing great or horrible stood out.

Alalberto Mondesi (#4)

I could never guess what side the switch hitter was going to stand on.

My amateur video skills

Elier Hernandez (#17)

I didn't get a good read on him at all. Good speed and look OK in the field.
