From http://www.projectprospect.com: Touted as a Top 100 prospect by some entering 2009, Engel Betre is struggling mightily in his second full-season league. Watch this March and April footage of Beltre and see if you can figure out why California League pitchers are having such an easy time retiring him.
Too much movement in his swing before the ball gets to him and he's always off balance. That's something I see from this video. He needs to let the ball get to him and not move his bat so much when the pitch is coming.
