I’m a tad late with this one, but Kody Hinze is the South Atlantic League Offensive Player of the Week for May 16. I photographed him just last month in Greenville.
MiLB.com says: “Astros prospect Kody Hinze, who played in 27 games with the Legends last year, is looking much sharper than the .175 average he managed during that stretch. His eighth-inning, two-run homer gave Lexington a 2-1 win against visiting Greensboro on Monday, and the team didn’t lose again until Hinze came up empty, going 0-for-3, on Saturday. From Wednesday to Friday, though, he was 8-for-12 with a homer, a pair of doubles, seven RBIs and four runs scored. He singled and struck out three times in Sunday’s loss to Greenville.”

It seems looks are deceiving in this blog

Funny thing I just noticed about some of the photos I’ve posted recently: all the photos that looked like outs were not, and the one that looked like a hit was an out.
Same thing could be said about this photo. It appears that Jorge De Leon has a bead on this grounder — which he does — but he eventually bobbled it.
I know — big deal. Just an excuse to post this photo.

Looks like a catch, but it really wasn’t
