First Impressions is a look at recent call-ups, a snapshot of their early progress in the majors. Initial BaseballHQ Call-Ups reports for the players in today's column can be found in the Content tab on their individual PlayerLink pages. Because many of these players have accumulated less than 150 PA or 60 IP, small sample size warnings apply to the analysis here.
