MSZ Scouting Report |
Report: Justin Morneau has progressed well both offensively and defensively. He is a former catcher converted to first baseman, but has done well thus far as a first baseman.
Strengths: He has been clutch in the ladder innings of games. Very good power, with an excellent eye for pitches. Very good plate patience, and can unload a lot of power on hanging pitches.
Weaknesses: Tends to not heat up until about the 6th or 7th inning. Sometimes he guesses rather than use his eyes and instincts, causing him to swing past hittable pitches. |
