Top Performer Spotlight
CEVETTE'S QUICK HIT: Birkman keeps getting better the more we see him. He's big and physical, well suited for the back stop position. The bat shows strength and the arm behind the plate is premium. He's a little long with his arm-action but he's athletic enough to make the adjustment. On the mound there is a ton to like. Mid-upper 80's fastball with no signs of slowing up, excited to see him this summer at the NYS Games.
