During our 2004 Area Code games, a player from Rochester, New York was a favorite of the scouts. He was a football players with many college scholarships. During the games he "struck out" the majority of his AB. I asked a scout "he not as good as we thought".

The scout remarked "No Bob he has "bat speed". Next he was a 1st round draft of the Royals.

Received a "cup of coffee" in the ML.

Question: "can you teach a player to be "loose"?
