Must See Daily


Buddy Gouldsmith
Nevada Scouting Director

“Must See Daily” is a feature that will be hosted by PBR Nevada recognizing players that to date may have gone unduly noticed. “Must see daily” is a phrase employed to describe players that may need repeated looks to truly appreciate what they bring to the table.  In many instances, these players are coined with terms like "gamers", "overachievers", but truly, they are performers.  Players that make coaches play them.  Their tools may not jump off the page, but at the end of the day they get outs, make plays, collect hits, and score runs.

Notes

Strong, 5-foot-7, 170, Dirk has a compact frame with present strength, stocky with a well-developed lower half. He is a corner outfield type player at the next level with playable arm strength. He takes good routes and employs proper footwork with a reverse pivot when ranging to the line.  At the plate, he sets with hands at his shoulder and a flat bat followed by a raising of the bat, cocking of his hands and tipping of the barrel toward the pitcher.  This leading to a swing that is aggressive beyond his stature. He made consistent contact using the whole field, displaying sneaky pull-side power.  Although not a “burner”, he ran the bases intelligently and aggressively.
