Indianapolis Sees Inconsistency From Young Hitters

INDIANAPOLIS -- Josh Bell has shown a great deal of consistency in his adjustment to Triple-A, although that hasn't been the case for a few other young hitters on the roster. Alen Hanson, Willy Garcia, and Keon Broxton are all talented players who could reach the majors one day, but none of them have seen the consistency that Bell has shown so far.

Hanson has seen some up and down months during his Triple-A campaign. When he gets hot, as he did in May, Hanson is impossible to retire very often. However, when he is cold, Hanson seems to get himself out and has a hard time putting good contact on the ball.
