Adopted: Quinn Brodey

Post by Chad ochoseis » Sat Jul 20, 2019 8:28 pm

Never heard of the mighty Quinn until this evening. But he just homered and put the Ponies ahead of the Ducks 3-0, so I'm calling dibs. Stanford grad, right fielder, 3rd round 2017 pick, toolsy type. But he's batting 9th and barely off the interstate in the Eastern League, so the odds are long against him cracking the Mets corner outfield corps.

4 solo home runs so far in the top of the 5th. Jason Krizan, Mazeka, and David Thompson in addition to my man Quinn. Ponies 6, Ducks 0 here in beautiful Akron.

An adoption and an IGT all in one.
Nice.

Quinn is a beneficiary/victim of the Stanford philosophy, which holds that there is one platonic ideal for a baseball swing, no matter what your specific skills or body type, and so all are carefully instructed to fine-tune their swing in exactly the same way. Matt Winaker, chosen by the Mets two rounds later, shared the Stanford outfield with him, and is now on the interstate with St. Lucie.
