Evan White needs batting practice on hitting the middle up fastball... that was terrible...
This is where scouts put in their notes:

"..may have problems catching up to a major league fastball.."
The worst I've ever seen at that is Zunino. It just baffled me how often he would swing and miss at sub-90 fastballs right down Broadway. If you threw him an off-speed pitch and didn't bury it you were doing him a favor.

Mallet and Vogelbach showing the difference between how two seemingly useless players, one still puts runs on the board without anyone else's help.

Among player types, that's always how I'll err. Power puts runs on the board. Speed hands the torch to somebody else.

Speed can manufacture runs... slugs create double plays... I like athletes with both speed and power...

Mallex and Vogel bach are both expendable if not close to useless for me...

What happened to Bundy?

Didn't he used to throw 95+?

Dude is a junk baller now.
Maybe he is saving his stuff for teams with major league lineups.

Wearing a mask in CF just adds to the mountain that is Mellex's brilliance.
Should have spent more time in the batting cage and less time camping.

Absolute idiot out there in a mask among a bunch of people that have been tested.
And in CF he is like 150 ft. from any other humans.

This is where scouts put in their notes:

"..may have problems catching up to a major league fastball.."
And our scouts note: "Should consider signing him to a six year $24M deal"

Even though I missed out on the $50 , I still think my 4 win prediction will be closest.

It can manufacture runs if the guy behind you does his part, which only happens 35% of the time.

It's called passing the buck.

Quick check shows Vogelbach grounded into double plays 4 times in 2019 compared to Mallex Smith with 7 and Dee Gordon with 8. Vogelbach was 9th on the team. 🤷‍♂️
