TORONTO a€“ Ita€?s impossible to predict how long a career Dalton Pompey will have or how good he will be. There is nothing Pompey can do with this small window of September opportunity to guarantee himself a position on the Blue Jaysa€? 2015 roster. Perhaps, if anything, hea€?s assured himself of an opportunity at some point. These matters are to be determined. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy a hometown boy excel. Pompeya€?s performance in Friday nighta€?s 4-2 win over the Orioles is an example of a young player feeling good about his game. a€?I think Ia€?ve gotten a little bit more confident and comfortable being here,a€? said Pompey. a€?The guys make it a nice environment for me to be here and they treat me well. They treat me as if Ia€?m one of the guys; that Ia€?ve been here for a long time, so ita€?s a credit to them. My family keeps me up through the ups and downs and I get all the support from my family and friends, which is really important to me.a€? There has been a build since Pompeya€?s first career hit, recorded on September 19 at Yankee Stadium. You may recall Pompey was stranded at first base to end that inning and as he made his way toward his leftfield position he crossed paths with outgoing Yankees legend Derek Jeter. Pompey was brief when asked to describe the nature of the exchange, only to say that Jeter wished him a long, prosperous career. The Mississauga nativea€?s first career multi-hit game came on Monday when he went 2-for-5, scoring his first run in the process. Pompey also made a brilliant catch in centrefield, going back to his left and sprawling to rob Dustin Ackley of extra bases for the second out of the fifth inning. Then, on Tuesday, the first big league home run. Pompey did it in style, too, launching a second deck shot to rightfield off of a€?Kinga€? Felix Hernandez, one of the gamea€?s elite pitchers. On Friday, Pompey began his big night with a headlong, diving catch of an Alejandro De Aza foul fly ball down the leftfield line. It was a big play because the Orioles led 1-0 at the time and were threatening for more with Ryan Flaherty on second base and two outs. a€?Hea€?s just obviously an all-around good player,a€? said Drew Hutchison (11-13), the beneficiary of the catch and who pitched five innings for the win in his final start of the season. a€?To come up here and not be really fazed and be out there and be confident in yourself, you know just the way he carries himself I think thata€?s more impressive than anything you do on the field.a€? Pompey led off the second inning with a triple and scored on a Munenori Kawasaki bunt single. Pompey doubled and scored on a Kawasaki infield single in the third, head-down hustling from second as Oriolesa€? second baseman Jonathan Schoopa€?s throw pulled first baseman Steve Clevenger off the bag. In the fifth, with Edwin Encarnacion on first base and two outs, Pompey tripled home the Jaysa€? fourth and final run of the evening. a€?I mean it was awesome, you know,a€? said Pompey. a€?I felt like I put a couple of good swings on some balls today and they found some holes and they were able to get to the wall and I just kind of let my speed take over.a€? Remember, Pompeya€?s under a different kind of pressure a€“ hea€?s from the area and people know it. Pompey makes a big play, the stadium erupts; Pompey gets a big hit, the crowd goes wild. The difference in decibel level is noticeable. People are watching, rooting for a hometown boy they can embrace as their own. Hutchison isna€?t alone in his praise of Pompey and how hea€?s handling his first crack at the limelight. a€?Ita€?s always huge when you get off to a good start, especially considering where hea€?s come from,a€? said manager John Gibbons. a€?It wasna€?t like hea€?s been cutting his teeth at Triple-A the last couple of years and all of a sudden hea€?s coming up, I mean hea€?s looked at A-ball, a totally different game down there, Double-A is a different and briefly in Triple-A and now hea€?s facing some of the best of the game. Ita€?s not like hea€?s running into the Average Joe, the guy thata€?s coming up to make the spot start, you know Tillman tonight, Hernandez and those guys the other night. So I mean hea€?s facing some of the top guys in baseball and hea€?s handling himself so well.a€? The 21-year-old has the organizationa€?s attention. With Colby Rasmus already having vacated centrefield and with uncertainty surrounding the status of Melky Cabrera in leftfield, just months after playing for the Dunedin Blue Jays, Pompey could return to Floridaa€?s Gulf Coast next spring with a chance to crack a big league roster.
