Spokane camp yields fast outfield hopes and a pitching pivot
Nick Williams discovered Hydron, a tall raw prospect, in Spokane during the first workout ten days ago. Hydron’s erratic fielding and near misses prompted a shift from outfielder to pitcher as he joined Joe McGinnity’s Butte squad in Puyallup, seeking a fling role with the Miners. Meanwhile Jack Smith touts Seattle’s Charier Brooks as a top outfielder, and Alaska sweepstakes draw growing interest as the purse drops from $10,000 to $2,000 in a year.
