I'm hyped for Bonemer but he strikes out a ton, I believe his K rate spiked in AA too, I believe it was over 25%.

He had a higher k rate in A+ than in AA.

112 mph exit velocity. The guy is a beast. Quit rooting for his failure and join the bandwagon @southsider2k5

you're right, I was watching a Just Baseball podcast and I could've sworn they said his K rate went up but it indeed did go down, 29% in A+ to 25% in AA, either way 25% in AA could translate to 30+ in the big leagues, I hope they have people in place to make him a more well rounded hitter rather than into another Colson Montgomery or Murakami

Boneroo is an absolute MONSTER. All who doubted him shall he served crow.

Bonemer getting MIKE TROUT comps from the organization. It's over folks. This guy is going to be an absolute fucking STUD.

Fegan getting a bit too high on his own supply while typing up articles.

We’ll see. At the very least, I hope he’s a very solid player for us. I’d love to see him give the new exploding scoreboard a workout in a few years at the Railyards.

I have been making the Trout comparison for a while based on body type and strength. Obviously, Bonemer is a borderline 50/60 runner. At that age Trout was borderline 70/80, so I would never dare to say they have similar ceilings.

Trout is a bit much as a CF comparison, but Bonemer is a really good athlete who I think will be able to play a passable CF and good corners. When I saw him live a year ago he was obviously athletic enough, moved like a strong safety and built like it too.

Mike Trout? Good god.

More like Caleb BOMBener.

I doubt Bonemer sticks to CF, I feel this is to give him as much OF experience as possible before figuring out which corner OF spot he is best suited for.

Either way if he can be a viable LF, RF option while subbing in occasionally at 3B and even SS that is a huge win for figuring out where he can play. I hope they don't go this route, but if they don't extend Mune and are cheap in FA again you could have a DH rotation open up in 2028.

With his speed and arm, I'd imagine he has the tools to be an above average corner OFer defensively.

You literally have never seen him play in the outfield
