2/15/15 Monahan starts from a slightly open stance and takes a short stride to square. He employs a short, quick load in which the barrel flattens out and gets wrapped a bit, adding some length to his swing. While he has strength in his frame and flashes some bat speed, he's occasionally late with his load, which doesn't allow his hands to be on time. Defensively, Monahan exhibited good footwork and transfer, although he stands upright on release, which inhibits his extension and carry. He would benefit from maintaining a flex in his elbow when receiving, as he currently locks it out, which creates stiffness in his wrist.
