Call continues his good Spring.   Could have a more important role this year as one of the few hitters on the roster with a little patience.

Low velo is concerning. I'm hoping that he decided to just throw his cutter all night, and that some of them that looked four seamers simply didn't work out for him.

He doesn't swing and miss much. Do you think he saw where the lf was and jumped on a ball he could go to left on?

I know late innings in a spring training game is about as inconsequential as it gets, but it's nice to see some life.
