Roessler’s wiry, athletic 6-foot-2, 175-pound frame projects especially well, and he made sound contact this weekend from the right side. Firstly, Roessler’s value lies in his defense, as a sure-handed and smooth middle infielder, who we’ve also seen play with some bounce in the outfield. His loose hands and athleticism helped him find the barrel more often this past weekend, too, a development to pay close attention to.
