Matias’ power display is legitimate and real.
He’s still very young for that level and needs development, but his ability to punish the Baseball is rare. He absolutely needs to make progress with his K rate.
He’s one of many encouraging performances, though. Lee is having a strong campaign in an awful hitters environment. Mondesi and Staumont are having the starts you’d like to see in Omaha.
Pratto is hitting for more power with less average than expected but still good.
And then there’s MJ Melendez, who is exceeding all expectations. He’s showing nearly as much power as Matias, but with plus defense at a key defensive position and better K rate and average.
He’s my no 1 prospect.
