Zach Alford, 3B, Hyannis Harbor Hawks (Auburn) – Killed the ball in batting practice. Very good bat speed and flashed a plenty of power. Squared the ball up well but expanded his strike zone too often. Kept hands inside and drove a ball oppo into the RF gap. Glove looks improved over last year (when he was playing SS). Moved well. Arm enough for 3B? Could handle 2B well, too http://bullpenbanter.com/cape-cod-league-observations-week-6/
