I said the same thing about https://brokenbat.org/player/285685 And yes, he probably still wont make his comment. But he may get closer haha

I don't see a huge amount of growth left for either of them, and both of their Hitting curves have been rather unimpressive. Barnard is a bit younger and his rate has been a bit better but he is only at 10 right now... So I would be very surprised to see them get past 12 or 13 Hitting. Sterling (22 years old) - Hitting 11 - growth rate 1.2 Barnard (24 years old) - Hitting 10 - growth rate 1.0 Cobb (26 years old) - Hitting 11 - growth rate 0.7 Updated Monday, May 9 2022 @ 11:10:01 am PDT

But his performance seems to indicate is an under-evaluation from the managers. I'm not sure if these catchers are under-evaluated, over-scouted, or if the Steve has tweaked the ranges a bit over the years. Could be all three. Seems like I am good at finding guys who don't reach expectations... But that is why I named the team the Halflings after all.
