The town loves the kids humility. I agree it's fairy tale but until they find a hole in his swing to exploit the kid contributes nightly and is growing on people and deserves a chance until either he proves he can or can't play at this level.

He can hit that's for sure. But can he hit on a consistent basis and hit with enough power to compensate for his other weaknesses? That is really the big question. It is a great story and though the law of averages probably gets to him at some point, switch hitters who can make contact like he does will always have a job somewhere.
