ACG Tryout - The rare athlete that throws lefty and bats righty, Young shook off some early nerves during batting practice and settled right in with an impressive 2nd round. Solid tools with 6.75 speed in the 60 and a 91 mph arm from the outfield that also touches 90 on the bump. Hips can turn on pitches middle-in with authority.
