Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted Wednesday at 02:54 PM Moderators Posted Wednesday at 02:54 PM I don't follow all the MLB games or such, but the talent of Brice Matthews is easy to see Astros have something with this dude from Atascocita High and Nebraska https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4838117 4 Quote
Hookem1012 Posted Wednesday at 03:05 PM Posted Wednesday at 03:05 PM I know it’s early, but he’s hitting .200. That’s Mendoza line. 1 Quote

Luckly over the years I have learned that they know way more about drafting baseball players than I do. Quote

Even in AAA it was off the charts compared to league average. If he could figure that out, he could be amazing. If he can't, he could still have a Jose Hernandez/Rob Deer kind of output. 1 Quote

I can't stand it.. lol I don’t know where the Astros keep finding these studs in their depleted farm system but they do. If they ever get healthy they will be extremely dangerous. Quote

Small sample size on all of it. The Mendoza line has different meaning than it used to ... I get what you are saying, but the game is played so different now https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/kyle-schwarber-656941?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb Quote

Or if he can draw enough walks at the major league level to put together a quality OBP Has to be one or the other to reach very high Quote
