@@Mr.Jtea3 He is one of the most interesting and best hitters in baseball. Dude is a statistical freak that makes contact at an all-time rate for batters with over 100 appearances at the plate, doesn't strike out, also doesn't walk, plays any position pretty well- there are highlights from him at Catcher, 3rd base, and Center Field (going up a wall and robbing a homerun, and pitching. He's short and pudgy and athletic and fast. And his power is getting better as well. In an all-time great age for pitchers, when strikeouts are high, this dude is an outlier. Love him while he's here. You don't see guys like him in the league too often since the days of analytics and player projections. They never get called up to the majors.
