I think we can see that the defense is legit, and he has impressed with his approach at the plate so far, and we're going to have to see what that is over a bigger sample, but I think you can immediately see what the defense is so far.
I mean, right from the very first moments that he got in his very first game, he's just been announcing that he's the superb shortstop and doing very well.
You know, even like the strike, I think maybe the strikeout against Chris Sale or something like that, still fought.
And you can tell he's confident as well because he had that one plate appearance where, you know, it was a 2-2.
And then he challenges again on the 3-2, which I assume a lot of rookies who came up in just this week, they probably wouldn't do that the week after they're called up.
