This could probably go in @TN_gal draft/roster management thread, but this interview was done in early June during summer ball, so I’ll post it here:
Good write-up on Booker on D1 Baseball's Review of the California league........
- One of the toolsiest hitters at the event was OC Riptide outfielder Kyle Booker. The Tennessee freshman, who hit .310, 1, 10 in 58 at-bats this spring, showed quick hands and good bat speed during batting practice. The lefty wraps the bat around his neck and jumps at the ball, which may make him susceptible against good offspeed offerings, but when he gets his front foot down he can stroke it. Booker was hitless in his first two at-bats, but he helped the South team break the game open in the sixth inning. Booker worked the count full in a left-on-left matchup and then shot a rocket two-run double inside the third base bag. He added a single on a broken-bat liner that hit off the glove of a leaping second baseman. Booker showed a strong arm in right field, holding a runner from tagging up from second on a medium-depth fly out with a bolt right to the cutoff man. He also ran a 4.29 to first base.
