Hit a homer today!   Bet that helped him feel better.

I’d think he feels pretty good about batting .429 at AAA.

The best kind of runs!

1.330 OPS at Norfolk. Let’s just get him and Gunnar up to Baltimore and see what we got.

Westburg is a bit like having Stowers as a middle infielder (I know Stowers couldn't because he throws LH).  Everything he hits is for extra bases.  The percentage is increbibly high.   On the year, he has 57 hits, 30 for extra bases.

 

Stowers is the most extreme with 28 of 45 hits for extra bases.

Got a chance to see Westburg play in person today for the first time.  My impressions were the following:

-he’s a big guy.  Incredibly strong.  He pounded the ball all day and finished with a hard hit single and double. 
-he’s a baller and runs very well.  Stole 3rd base on a great read

-looks like a gamer - was vocal on field and in the dugout. 
-his glove seems really solid but his throws to 1B from shortstop we’re kind of all over the place.  Up, down, left, right - Dorian helped him out a bit with a pick 

-he looks like an all-around solid player that will help out your team on both sides of the ball and on the base paths.

 

I’m excited to see how his skill set translates to MLB.  He looks like he’s ready to be challenged.   Very fun day watching Westburg, Gunnar, Vavra, & Stowers show off their skills.

Haha.   I suspect it will be up around .900 if we hang in there a little longer.

Up to .898 for the season combined.

Just knocked his 4th homerun, a 3 run shot that had some of the longest hang time I've seen.

He and Stowers really hit the ball with authority. I’m in favor of bringing up Westburg before Gunnar so that way he can get a little audition by himself manning SS.

At an even .900 OPS overall this year.  He pulled an outer half fastball sky high that just kept going.  He's got a great stroke the other way too.   If only Mateo would be a .650-700 OPS hitter.  Would love to see Henderson 3B, Mateo SS, and Westburg 2B at some point.

A .900 OPS for the year is pretty amazing considering the slump he was in at the start of the year.  He may make his debut this year if he keeps this up.  

[BirdinBama]

Mateo is like a 550 OPS?
