Mike Costanzo

Here's a picture of Phils second round draft pick (the first pick they made) Mike Costanzo in Oneonta, waiting for the lights to come back on after one of two power failures during the three game series against the Tigers. Costanzo seems to have picked up his hitting a bit lately, but is still under the Mendoza line in the NYPL as I post this. Costanzo plays every second of every game at 100%, and will need to employ that intense effort in the offseason learning how to adjust to the wood bat. Costanzo's glovework is not pretty, but he gets the job done, and his arm is strong but not yet reliable.
