[Hitting for power] is something I talked to my hitting coach about. He said, ‘Hey, man, you can go out this season and you can hit .300 with eight or nine home runs, or you could hit close to .400 and hit three home runs.’ … That was definitely my role, to get on base and let those other guys do their job.
– Cleveland Indians 2012 first-round draft pick Tyler Naquin who hit .380 with an on-base percentage of .458 and three home runs in his Junior season with Texas A&M. The Indians feel that Naquin will have just improved power at the big-league level.
