With Dusty Baker watching intently along with batting coach Brook Jacoby, the Reds first pick in last year's draft, Yasmani Grandal hit in the batting cage for the first time.
The switch hitting catching prospect out of the University of Miami, Florida has a nice compact swing. He hit the ball hard from gap to gap as they worked on situational hitting, hit and run, moving the runner from second base, hitting with the infield in and back and sacrifice flies.
