May 21, 20214 yr Only looking at guys that are not in mlb of course (so no Vaughn, madrigal, Mercedes, crochet and kopech even some of them have not exceeded eligibility) , I thought it would be interesting to have it in one thread how they are doing for lazy readers and maybe update every week or two. Jared kelly: He did have a rough start in his First two starts. Positive is 8 Ks in 5 innings but also 9 walks and lots of homers. Not really worried though that early. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jared-kelley/sa3014471/stats?position=DH Benyamin bailey: He has struggled so far with a sub mendoza line average, one Homer and 32% Ks. He is still young though and might some time to adjust to full season A ball https://www.fangraphs.com/players/benyamin-bailey/sa3009343/stats?position=OF Gavin sheets He has been doing well with a 328 avg and 3 homers so far. Both walk and strikeout rate are worse though but he is hitting the ball more in the air which is good but also might be a sign of selling out for power a little. If he can keep those improvements in batted ball quality while getting back his old plate discipline he still probably can be at least a decent 1b prospect albeit likely not with the sox. Adolfo: 4 homers already and actually slightly improved K rate but still 30% and he is old for being that raw. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/gavin-sheets/sa829797/stats?position=1B Burger: Showing some good power and his sub mendoza line average is mostly driven by a super low babip. Not a huge fan of the plate discipline though with low ish walks and Ks up to 24%. You hope for a better k/bb rate from a polished corner only college hitter but it is good he is playing at all after the injuries and doing well. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jacob-burger/sa915698/stats?position=3B No particular order and just did a few I find interesting, feel free to add some more. Probably Thompson an dalquist should be mentioned but I'm too lazy to do them right now:) Edited May 25, 20214 yr by Dominikk85
