Jeff Francour right fielder for the Atlanta Braves was a high school pitching phenom. Led his team to two straight state championships. (Also the first 2 of 3 undefeated championship football seasons.)
He was called up latish last season. He used his arm last year well to throw out runners at home. Not so much this year.
In fact, since he appeared on the cover of SI, his hitting hasn’t been so great. I wonder if there’s some sort of jinx or something there?
In short: High school phenom does not equal major league phenom.
I’m a sexual phenom. I’m trying to stay off the cover of any magazines or videos, you know, to keep them jinxes off me.
…The minxes, however…that’s a completely different story.
