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:
“Is this then a touch? quivering me to a new identity,
Flames and ether making a rush for my veins,
Treacherous tip of me reaching and crowding to help them,
My flesh and blood playing out lightning to strike what is hardly
different from myself,
On all sides prurient provokers stiffening my limbs,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can’t get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.”
—Anzia Yezierska (c. 1881–1970)
