PBR Showdown
Uncommitted. Pless, 5-foot-11, 150-pounds, could be a legitimate track star with his plus plus speed and he may claim the title as fastest man in the state of Georgia in a foot race. The switch-hitter did not swing the bat much this weekend, instead relying on his bunt game and challenging opposing teams to make a play. He was clocked on multiple watches running down the line at 3.7 from the left handed box and 3.1-3.2 on steal attempts. The man can absolutely fly and if Pless can figure out how to become a true offensive threat swinging the bat, the impact potential for Pless is through the roof.
