Mana Lau Kong is flashing real upside for Hawai'i after a rough start
The Hawai'i freshman infielder has started to trend up at the plate, hitting .545 over a recent three-game stretch after opening the season with a .186 average and a high strikeout rate, which suggests his bat-to-ball skills are settling in fast.[3] That kind of midseason adjustment matters because it points to a player with real developmental upside, even if his early inconsistency means he is still more projection than polished product.[3]
