Good lord Mondesi has a chance to be a legit superstar. Not a Eric "Im kind of a big deal in KC" Hosmer KC Star. Im talking Mike Trout super star. If he were to duplicate last years production over a full season (lets use Hosmers 2017 season for PA) he could be in the MVP talk.

So at 671 PA instead of 291 PA his numbers look like this:

671 PA/634AB/109 R/176 Hits/30 2B/7 3B/32 HR/85 RBI/74 SB/25 BB/178 SO/.276 BA/.306 OBP/.498 SLG

This is what Mike Trouts 162 game avg looks like

711 PA/589 AB/121 R/187 H/34 2B/7 3B/37 HR/99 RBI/29 SB/105 BB/152 SO/105 BB/152 SO

If he does that it would be something never accomplished by someone else and that is 30 HR 70 SB, 30 HR and 60 SB has never been done before either. Hell 30 HR 50 RBI has only been done twice.

I know its something hes always had trouble with, but if he could just get a walk 1 out of every 2-3 games thatd give him around 65 walks. Thatd put his hypothetical slash at:

.296 avg/.362 obp/.532 slg/.894 ops

If he is able to take more walks he could potentially steal 85-90 bases. The crazy thing is that hes not even in his prime yet. In the next couple of years he could very well be the best player in the league.

There is a zero percent chance Mondesi ever gets 65 walks in a season let alone 50. I'm worried he will eventually get exposed due to his horrid plate discipline but he gets the steals Trout cant.

Well he's eventually going to be getting IBB as well as his regular BB. I know 65 walks would be a miracle, but I could honestly see 45-50.
