Kolten Wong

Snippet from a larger piece in BP today about players who were drafted and signed quickly this year, and how it has benefited some of them, including Wong.

Kolten Wong, Cardinals. Wong, the 22nd overall pick out of Hawaii, often gets incorrectly classified as a grinder due to his 5-foot-9 form and max-effort style, but he has tools, most notably the all-important hit tool. With a knack for consistently barreling balls and a good approach, Wong has had no issues adjusting to a full-season league, hitting .305/.368/.450 in 36 games for Low-A Quad Cities while showing impressive defensive fundamentals. His debut allows the Cardinals to push him to High-A next year, with the ability to reach Double-A at some point in the season to line up for a 2013 big-league debut.

I am excited about our Wong.

He hits hard.

I like how he's growing.

You should see him get ahold of one with full extension.
