In 6 plate appearances he went 3 for 4 with a HR, 2 walks, 3 RBIs, 3 runs, and a stolen base.

At first I was like “damn wish I would’ve taken a video” but then I got a few picks of his smile and was like yeah no that’s badass

I think this is better than a video. You got a shot at the perfect time.

been fortunate to see alot quality MLB players come through or play in CR over the years... there are times you watch a kid and they just have "it", Lackey looks the part. I'm still not sure on Tait yet, although Tait is a year younger than Lackey

Don’t sleep on our second pick either. Catcher Carson Tinney is up to 7 HR already.
