His effort alone made me a believer. Then he made that throw. Holy Jesus Private Pyle...that throw was impressive!

Honestly his best at bat IMO in the two games he's played was with two outs in the 9th inning yesterday. He turned an 8 pitch at bat into a walk, patiently taking balls and swinging at strikes. He looked like a calm vet. His walk brought the winning run to the plate. Too bad the game ended with a strikeout. But still. You can tell the kid will be special.
