He's very explosive. When he's hitting the ball well, he hits frozen ropes.

The hits are nice, but the important thing for me is I was hitting the ball hard, ... I had a rough night and I had to correct  things.

Eddie is very quick, strong and explosive, and it's a teeth-jarring impact when he hits a ball carrier. He moves exceptionally well laterally, and when you watch Eddie pass rush, he's adept at the swim move, gets good leverage and has a closing burst like nobody's business.

He was out-hitting me. I wasn't reacting well to the ball. He hits a heavy ball and a big forehand return.

They just made the hits. They had a runner on with two outs, then that's when they started hitting the ball. They're a good ball club, one of the best hitting ones in the district. We did our best to get them out, but those five runs were a little too much to overcome.

The ball sounds a little different when Monroe hits it.
