Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Saturday, April 12, 2008
A scouting report on the adjustments made by Florida Marlins prospect Chris Coghlin from the time he was drafted to his 2007 season:
Thoughts about his draft swing - upright stance with a lower body action that is not condusive to power; a knee twist (frame 7) that is meant to open his hips, though the hips open up too soon and he doesn’t do a good job shifting his weight forward into foot plant. His swing is short, but he makes contact a little too far out in front. In frame 14, you can see how much “extension” he gets out in front, which is a trait that won’t generate much power. Also take note of his swing plane, which is pretty linear without much loft.
Compare to his swing from last year in the Sally League All-Star Game:
He has bounced back well from a poor showing in Single-A Jupiter last year:
.345/.406/.517/.923 line so far in AA-Carolina.
