Today Vlad was tested at 3B for the 1st time this spring at home games. Prior to today all of his defensive plays have been easy ones. In the 2nd inning, there was a hard hit 2 bounce ball, just to Vlads right. How he reacted, was to twist his upper body around till his back was to home plate, and try to backhand the ball out of the air. The ball went over his glove for a hit down the line.
What he should have done, was take a big slide step to his right, and catch the ball chest high.
Needs some work there.
