Spent a couple hours today outside the fences at the Complex peering in to see some fall instructs baseball. Infielders took grounders and worked on agility drills with coach Malloy ( arm in a sling but still out there teaching đ) , pitchers went thru the paces of PFPâs with various pitching coaches, catchers did their throwing and blocking drills with Coach Whitt and outfielders worked on fly balls with coach Abad.
My cohorts, Jim Peyton of Phuture Phillies and our camera man Mark Wylie walked the outfield boundaries to observe as best we could ... some of the fellas look as if theyâve put on some Covid weight like I have during the down time đł... nothing a few good workouts wonât take care of đ...
Jose Cedeno is a name to keep track of ... the young outfielder ( 19 yrs old ) has an athletic frame and size ( 6â2â ) and seems to have good speed to boot ... heâs been working with coach Abad on tracking balls, in particular footwork. Today he was paired with Matt Vierling during outfield drills ... Matt is a very good defensive outfielder from my observations. Jose is a left handed hitter and thrower ... heâs struggled to date to make consistent contact in his brief career but the tools seem to be there ... hopefully just a matter of refinement.
One thing that stands out about the new group of drafted and free agent pitchers in camp weâve noticed is size ... they are all over six feet in height and a few are 6â5â or taller ... from what Iâve read many in the group have high velocity skills ... if so, could be an intimidating combination with their physical prowess đŻ
A camp roster hasnât been released publicly that Iâm aware of but there are 58 players invited ( they may not all be here at the same time ) ...
Stay safe and healthy ...
Happy Day, Happy Baseball âžď¸
