The feel for hitting, Keaschall said, came back quickly after his forearm healed. He traveled to the Twins\u2019 complex in Fort Myers, Fla., so he could receive a number of live at-bats. Then he played 14 games on a Class AAA rehab assignment. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt takes a little bit to get your eyes back and your feel,\u201d Keaschall said. \u201cBut I feel like it\u2019s come back pretty fast. I didn\u2019t feel like I was super far behind. Not clicking on all cylinders right away, but pretty close.\u201d <\/p>\n
There was no trepidation, Keaschall said, about seeing inside pitches again. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe second I stepped in the box, you go out there and compete,\u201d Keaschall said. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t like, oh, I\u2019m afraid to get hit or something like that. None of that fear.\u201d <\/p>\n
The speed of this reset, rebuild, whatever buzz word a person wants to describe the state of the organization in a lost season, will partially be determined on how quickly players like Keaschall can establish themselves in the majors. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe makes things happen on the field,\u201d Baldelli said. \u201cHe\u2019s active. He plays hard. He\u2019s got a good, short, compact, strong swing. He\u2019s done nothing but perform exceptionally well, really, since he signed. I\u2019m excited to get him back in there.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The feel for hitting, Keaschall said, came back quickly after his forearm healed.
