Kieran Powell on replacing batting with baseball

Former West Indies batsman Kieran Powell explains how his switch to baseball came about, and what the differences are between facing a fast bowler and a pitcher.

The 25-year-old left-handed opener is hoping that his powerful batting skills can transfer to baseball as he sets his sights on winning a contract with a MLB team.

Powell is training with the New York Mets at their winter camp in Florida, where he spoke to the BBC's Sarah Mulkerrins.
