KR grad Eaton: ‘Watch out for him’
In a review of the Arizona Diamondbacks’ minor league system, one writer from FanSided.com rates 2007 Kenton Ridge grad Adam Eaton as the third-best outfielder in the system. He’s his take on the former Miami University outfielder, who reported to spring training last week and is schedule to play in a major league spring game on Saturday:
Outfielder #3: Adam Eaton. No, this isn’t the oft-injured pitcher pulling a Rick Ankiel-Eaton is a center fielder who was drafted in the 20th round last year and then put up an absurd .385/.500/.575 line in Rookie ball. Now, he’s almost three years older than Owings, and over two years older than Davidson, but well behind them on the organizational ladder, so let’s not go nuts, but that statline is ridiculous, especially considering that Eaton also swiped 20 bases. The Pioneer League is offense-heavy, but Eaton’s success seemed more to do with contact, discipline, and speed than power, so he’s not as park-dependent as guys like Goldschmidt or Krauss. I actually considered moving Eaton all the way ahead of Krauss, but declined due to his obvious inexperience; still, watch out for him.
