He was supposed to be higher but play didn't reverse his walks pd so he just gets shoved in between 25 and 26.

Big time 2nd baseman. B/B hits/hrs is pretty awesome. Nuff said.

Similar to Gennett but with G walks and the ability to be tibd to B/B makes up for the fact that Gennett plays a more valuable position.

He is higher than the previous 2 because his numbers are farther along. Beware of pds though. Truth be told I think people care too much about pds once the player is developed. Plenty of Brill talents top out at 8 and plenty of G talents can hold the 8. Another possible red flag is his progression against rhb. I can't prove it but I think that guys that have a big disparity can't always get rid of it and one side get stuck at a lower number.

I think that most gms would rather have a B in hrs over a B in walks. Really hard to choose between these pitchers though.

Lol that his G has number ratings than 3/4 of his Bs. Just a dominant pitcher who will only get better.

His hits have already hit 10/10 so that is enough to have him before the previous pitchers. And his era is currently 0.58. 7 games and he has pitched under 9 innings once and given up more than 1 run once.

He just had a really bad pd. I'm assuming that it will get reversed but he is now a big risk. Only 19 and he is pdd out. Still it is hard to ignore all those Brills.

Plays a lot of positions poorly. Offensively he is a monster and can be tibd into a b/b base thief. And he is loyal

Talent Increase B (TIB): Catchers Arm
One of the best defensive catchers in the league with a great arm. Also has hits at 10 with some pop. Will be one of the best catchers in the game for the next decade.

No power but does everything else very well offensively. Good defender at 2b. It is a shame that he can't steal but you can't have everything.
