Brady McConnell may have gone to the wrong organization to correct his issue.


https://lastwordonbaseball.com/2019/...draft-profile/

"The first glaring weakness to McConnell’s game is his plate discipline. While his overall slash line is sparkling, the underlying numbers of 57 strikeouts to 17 walks are not. A gap that wide suggests that either McConnell has trouble with pitch recognition or he has to absolutely sell out to tap into his power. Either is a weakness that teams and pitchers will target as he moves up the ladder."

A lot of scouting suggests guys with shitty plate discipline never truly correct it.

Yep. A few players seem to improve, but not that many. I remember Jermaine Dye -- he swung at everything his first year with the Royals, but became a very patient, selective hitter as his career progressed. He's the exception though.

Witt's raw power is better.

Probably a very similar defensive player long-term; ER changed who he was defensively as he matured, from the hyper-athletic wirey kid to the smart, positionally sound veteran with soft hands and a strong arm. In the end it isn't a a great comp though because it doesn't say anything - ER was two very different players throughout his career both offensively and defensively.

Maybe Jose Valentin as a median outcome? Miguel Tejada as a best case scenario? For his prime seasons Valentin was pretty much the same guy; powerful with an okay approach and solid defense. Tejada was very similar but with a better hit tool and more consistent defense (until he hit a wall late in his career).

You hate to even cite an MLB player as a worst case scenario (because the obvious worst case scenario is never making the show), but maybe the bottom quartile being something like Stephen Drew? And I don't mean what people thought Stephen Drew was or who he could be, but the actual exceedingly mediocre player with solid defensive chops and above average power for the position, but a lousy hit tool that kept him from ever really breaking out.

If we're gonna cite Cardinals shortstops, weirdly enough the guy to talk about may well be Paul DeJong. But DeJong is a utilitarian defender - very effective, but not exactly smooth or able to make some of the next level plays that Witt seems capable of. The offensive profiles may be very similar though.

Kelvin Gutierrez has been recalled. He's starting at 3rd. Cuthbert is playing 1st since they are playing against a LHP. Only two weak bats in this lineup; CF and C.

Lineup is here;

Boring day 2 so far. Seems like they’re saving some cash. Following the same formula from last year - college pitchers they can tweak.

Not sure who they have their eye on but it seems like there is someone.

Would be cool if Cheslor pulled a Hunter Dozier. He was a Top 100 prospect at one point, his power just didn't develop as people hoped. He's putting together a nice year AAA + MLB so far. It may not be too late.

Cheslor Cuthbert is a national hero in Nicaragua. He's on billboards all over the place, especially on the Caribbean side where he's from.

He's only 26 years old. Certainly younger guys have succeeded but that's not over the hill. Moose didn't put it together until 26. Gordon didn't have a good season until he was 27.
