He takes forever getting himself into a throwing position almost every single time. He seems to be really lackadaisical in both workout videos I’ve watched.

He seems to wait for the ball to get him instead of taking command of the play. I really fear a ball hitting a rock or clump of grass or something and nailing him in the face. But that should be correctible with pro coaching, right? watching his video, i wish he would charge the ball more. He seems to wait for the ball to get him instead of taking command of the play.

Fielding: He's a good defender with good hands. Strengths: His bat, most noticably his above-average power; his plus arm and good defensive actions. Hes slow, yes, but it doesnt sound like it affects his play in the field. Hitting Ability: Vasquez does have some hitting ability, but a tendency to get heavy with his stride and out on his front foot holds him back some.
