Recent Carlsbad High School graduate Jon Talley is trying his had at the Big Leagues as he reports to the Toronto Blue Jays’ Gulf Coast League rookie team in Dunedin, Fla, according to San Diego Union Tribune writer Kevin Gemmell.
I’m going to train as hard as I can,” said Talley, 18, who bats left and throws right. “I’m going to put everything I’ve got into it with no regrets. And if I don’t make it, I’ll have something to fall back on.”
Talley’s former coach says it’s all about his batting.
The bottom line is: He’s a pure hitter,” said Carlsbad coach Chris Greene. “I think that’s why the scouts have been coming to see him perform. I think they feel confident they can play him at a number of positions. . . . It’s just a matter of finding him a position, because they know he can hit, and if he can continue to hit at the next level, he’s going to be successful.”
