Pirates analyst Michael McKenry of SportsNet Pittsburgh joined the show. Esmerlyn Valdez moved his hands a little on the bat and made an adjustment. Michael said that Valdez is a good low-ball hitter. The power is immense, and he is making real-time adjustments. Valdez's metrics are very similar to other power hitters. Michael thinks 25-30 home runs can be "the standard" for Valdez.
