His stats in the DSL, mainly. But there was a brief writeup of him on the Fangraphs Mariner's prospects list: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/seattle-mar ... ects-2024/Donn Beach wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 11:50 pmWhere do you get the information on Dawal Joseph's hitting?

Joseph was identified as a $3 million-plus bonus international player very early in the process and ultimately signed for $3.3 million. As signing day approached this January and I circled back with scouts for thoughts on how players had changed since the time of their verbal agreements, Joseph’s reports had backed up. As he’s gotten underway in the DSL, scouts who’ve seen the Mariners’ group there in preparation for the deadline have expressed similar sentiments about his hit tool. Joseph swings hard for his age but with imprecision. Initially seen as one of the fastest players in the class, he has already begun to fill out to the point where that’s no longer true. Joseph is playing shortstop in the DSL, though there were scouts on the amateur side who thought he might be a better fit in center field. He deserves time to get his feet under him before his FV grade slides, which he will if he keeps striking out at a 30% clip in the DSL. While I feel free to take a patient and/or Bayesian approach to how I have Joseph lined up here, I don’t expect he’d be the target of a team talking trade with Seattle this month.
