The 2019 class is eligible to sign in less than 12 days so that seems like a typo/brain fart unless he doesn't mean it will take 12 months.

"in the next 12 months" means within the next 12 months

5'9", but also, by all accounts he has power and speed. There are enough outliers now that this isn't that big of a deterrent to me.

This is weird:
 

Baseball Reference lists him at 5'7": https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=cesped001yoe

This article in the NY Post calls him 6'1": https://nypost.com/2017/01/30/yoenis-cespedes-brother-is-an-intriguing-mystery-about-to-be-revealed/

This article in the NY Times calls him a "little shorter" than his brother, who they say is 5'10": https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/09/sports/baseball/yoelkis-cespedes-cuba-world-baseball-classic.html

The Cuban sites I've looked at don't list height and weight.

At any rate, the statistics sure don't make you feel great about his power although he's Babe Ruth compared to Yolbert Sanchez

Well he is 19, and his brother filled out quite a bit while keeping his athleticism and speed. If he signs for 1.5mill that's a pretty good gamble.
