Paul Hembekides

He's made some strides.

And then I think you've seen...

What Namala has, you know, how much he's refined his swing year after year.

And we've seen kind of streaks where everything's come together.

I really feel like he's in a good place with his swing.

We'll see how he comes back once he returns from the aisle.

It's probably going to be a few weeks until he's back on the field.

But he's a guy that's making a lot of contact now.

Really good swing decisions, forcing pitchers.

to make pitches in the zone against him.

And he has the power to punish mistakes.

So I think all that, that's going to really come to the surface over the next couple of couple of months.

And this could be a guy, I think the model could be a guy that's in the mix for, you know, the big league roster at a camp next year, just based on how strong he is defensively.

And

you know, the type of at bats he's, he's taking, I sat in a series when he was up in Portland, it was his first double a series.

And I was really, really impressed.

Um, the type of takes that he, that, that, you know, the type of takes that he had, um, the type of pitches he was hitting stuff that would have fooled him.

And the timing was just a lot better.

The swing has never really been bad.

It's always been a timing thing with the model, whether it was, you know, he was too in front of the ball on the second half of last year.
