Playing Style
Newhan hits lefty and righty pitchers equally well. His swing is compact and level, mostly generating line drives and groundballs. He has batted from every position in the batting order, but has mostly been batted second through 2008.
Newhan plays all infield positions, except shortstop, as well as all outfield positions. Through 2008, he had played 4 games at first base, 57 games at second base, 29 games at third base, and over 300 games split among the three outfield positions. His range is average both in the infield and outfield, and he throws accurately.

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or style:
“All those who dwell in the depths find their happiness in being like flying fish for once and playing on the uppermost crests of the waves. What they value most in things is that they have a surface, their “epidermality”Msit venia verbo.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I shall christen this style the Mandarin, since it is beloved by literary pundits, by those who would make the written word as unlike as possible to the spoken one. It is the style of all those writers whose tendency is to make their language convey more than they mean or more than they feel, it is the style of most artists and all humbugs.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
