Boise highlights:

 

Includes Willson Contreras' opposite field HR, Dan Vogelbach's opposite field double on the 10th pitch of an AB and Gioskar Amaya's triple.

Really like Vogelbach's swing. Almost no leg kick because he doesn't need it for power.

 

From the side, he doesn't look that big, just sort of short and compact. Then you see him from the front as he turns into the swing, and yeah, he's pretty fat.

Also, the LFer on Amaya's triple took roughly the worst route I've seen since Todd Hundley played LF for the Mets. That is Exhibit A in why I don't trust XBH totals in the low minors.

More to your second sentence, that's probably not the worst OF route taken in that game.
