Kieran Powell on replacing batting with baseball

Available for over a year

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. Photo: Kieran Powell playing for West Indies. Credit: Getty Images.
