Posted this in another thread, is this guy really 6’10”? He sure didn’t look it in the picture. Misprint maybe

Maybe he can cover SS and 2nd, if he is...

If he's 6'10" I feel confident in predicting he isn't going to stick at short.

Was thinking the same thing. Even BA has him listed at 6’10”.

The fro is going to add two or 3 inches, but i dont know if he's 6-10 there.

Everything about that picture looks more 6-1 than 6-10

Yeah, that has to be a typo. No way a 6-10 guy would be playing SS and that picture would be pretty high on the wall.

Regardless of his height, he obviously has a long way to go with the bat. Just three extra base hits in 163 PAs is pretty hard to do and it's not like he's young for the DSL.
