He’s got a great path. I love the extension in his swing and the backspin he creates.

Sample dialogue
Very impressive performance today. In my job as the national cross-checker for the New York Mets, I see the top 200 players in the United States. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a five tools guy, the complete package. Your throwing ability, your fielding skills... Ed told me you had power but I had no idea it was of the light tower variety. I hope you’re as interested in professional baseball as we are in acquiring you in the upcoming draft.

scene 15 — INT. OAKLAND COLISEUM - SCOUTING ROOM - PRESENT DAYGood approach, great balance. How’s he compare to the others around the country?
scene 15 — INT. OAKLAND COLISEUM - SCOUTING ROOM - PRESENT DAYWell, Billy, we’re certainly looking forward to meeting your folks and talking to them as well. And we believe in college, but that’s something you can do in the winter months. You need to know the sky’s the limit with your ability. You could be a superstar before you’ve even graduated. But to get to that level, you need to work with our people. Pro-ball is where you need to be to develop the skills God gave you.
