Positive first impressions, along with video and notes, from the top of the 2016 draft
I spent the weekend in North Carolina getting to see the Kannapolis Intimidators and Charlotte Knights in person, with the primary purpose of seeing what a couple of 2016 draft picks -- supplemental first-rounder Zack Burdi and third-rounder Alex Call -- are all about.
Chances are I didn't resolve that with one game, but I return bearing video and images so you can put motion pictures to the names as well.
Alex Call
A change of plans -- mostly prompted by American Airlines, which botched nearly the entire process -- put me in Kannapolis on Friday night, where I got to see Call, the outfielder from Ball State who has been tearing up the South Atlantic League.
