But the Rebels gave him a chance. It was hard not to cut him because of his very slow development in his first 3 years in the minors. He only gained 5 SI! After advancing to AA he must have realised that someone believes in his talent and he made a big jump: plus 10 SI in just 2 seasons. This week he made a further step towards the majors, he got a recommendation for AAA. It's highly probable he will be promoted to AAA at the all star break. Let's see how it goes on from here. If he makes it then of course only as a DH. But will he pop up to POT 11? I think that would be actualy groundbreaking and change the way one looks at the draft board in the future. What do you think? https://brokenbat.org/player/267942 Updated Tuesday, October 19 2021 @ 2:24:39 pm PDT

He came in as a pinch hitter for the starting DH in the 9th inning of an already decided game and flied out to right field. He had a quite nice season last year in AAA, posting an OPS of .801. Unfortunately his potential stayed at 10, which means that his development is almost at max. It will be interesting to see how and if he'll be able to develop further. It's clear that right now he is pretty very far away from a starting job.

The main weakness is his bat has no pop at all, something you always want with DH's. After Cup season he will be back in AAA Updated Wednesday, March 9 2022 @ 10:57:22 am PST

I've only done a little scouting (spying) but it seems bat control/plate discipline is more associated with success than power & speed. Don't have any proof just yet though, so take my input with a healthy amount of skepticism.

Speed means absolutely zero to me (and is in fact a negative) unless it is coupled with efficient base stealing. Ya, slow guys might get thrown out some on a sac fly, but the SI they dont have in speed goes to more important things. It has no effect on hitting into DP's, that is all GB/FB.

The success of Rebels' team in this season is clearly negligible. One of his decisions is to call up "Fishy" Nunez to the starting line up vs LHP. Fishy had some success vs LHP in his minors career and he showed in this year's cup run that there might be something to look at (6 hits from 18 AB). This might be the chance Fishy waited for so long. We'll see if he is able to take this chance.
