King did not disappoint on the day with a quality look at the plate. In the box the swing is level with quick, twitchy actions and a barrel that gets in the zone early. Worked mostly up the middle to
the pull side but showed to be able to spray the ball to the opposite field. Will be a name to look out for at 5-foot-9 170-pounds and had one of the more advanced frames at the event.
