Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted 7 hours ago Moderators Posted 7 hours ago 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 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago 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

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
