I haven't seen the way he hits, but if hit stats are any indication we could have a Ryan Theriot clone on our hands. I wouldn't really be upset with that and I hope for more, but I know Theriot is despised by many here. You'd think the extra 6 inches would help LeMahieu, but all the singles worry me that he's just a slap hitter.

I just assumed he had more pop in his bat. Didn't he SLG close to .500 in college? Maybe I expected too much from this guy.

He slugged 482 his last year at LSU. His 6'4" frame should produce more slugging that the 5'11" Theriot, one would hope.
He turns 22 tomorrow.

Yeah, I saw some of his at bats at LSU and he looked like a guy that should develop power. Certainly didn't remind me anything of a Theriot.
