Baseball at Arkansas, Sat 4/27, 1:00 pm EDT

You would think, but Sully mentioned Robertson's drag bunt approach to the sac bunt attempt rather emphatically in the post game interview. He didn't much like it.

 

He has had a great
Day

 

He's not. Here's what MLB.com rates him -- projecting #115:

Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 50 | Run: 40 | Arm: 50 | Field: 45 | Overall: 45

Shelton began his college career at Alabama and established his power bona fides by hitting 25 home runs and finishing with an OPS north of 1.100 as a freshman. He entered the transfer portal and decided on the University of Florida as his new home for his Draft-eligible sophomore season. He showed up in Gainesville in better shape and got a lot of reps at shortstop this fall to help his Draft stock, though his uneven performance at the plate has limited his helium.

Shelton’s carrying tool remains the power in his left-handed bat. When he showed up last fall with a more flattened out stroke, rather than his previous swing, which was much steeper in the zone, there was hope he might show more barrel consistency. He doesn’t have elite-level bat speed, but there’s at least average power for him to get to, and while the pop has shown up to an extent, the strikeout rate has hovered around the 25 percent he posted at Alabama. He does draw some walks to help offset it a little, but scouts are concerned about his ability to make enough contact to reach his power consistently.

While a slimmed down version arrived in Florida, Shelton displays just average athleticism, though he maximizes every bit of it. The Gators feel he showed enough to play shortstop for them every day, though scouts feel his pushy arm that plays average is a touch short for the premium spot at the next level. He’s played third previously and some feel he’s best suited for second, where he could be an offensive-minded middle infielder with some thump.

 

Like I said go get him

 

Oh no! Not you too……

 

“Shouldn’t” need to be said. Unfortunately not “doesn’t” need to be said.

 

Dang it, Luke, either swing or don't!

 

Damn

 

Neely’s legs are quickly turning to rubber. Time to make the move.

 

Nice footwork by Heyman

 

That was a pretty horsechit pitch at 0-2

 

Neely and Slater’s throwing motions are awfully similar right here, hope it works.
