Career Transactions
Selected by Dodgers in fourth round of 2015 draft; signed June 15, 2015
Background
The compact (5-foot-8, 190 pounds) Calhoun doesn’t look the part, but led juco hitters with 31 homers in just 61 games at Yavapai (Ariz.) JC in 2015.
What to Watch For
Calhoun has a special ability to control the barrel and hammer the ball with authority when he does connect. He has to prove he can stick defensively at second base long-term but there are few questions about the bat.
