Lotta hard grounders to the right side of the infield

Kiley had questions in his latest top prospects list about Made needing to learn to lift the ball. How hard is it in practice to get a hitter to lift more? Is it something that young hitters generally learn in time? What's Made's ceiling if he's running ~50% GB rates?

Sometimes it takes a pointed mechanical change, sometimes it happens naturally. His ceiling with a 50% GB% is Yandy Diaz but as a switch hitting middle infielder.

These guys tend to hit during the regular season and then get innings during instructs where the environment is more controlled.

His data suggests that's been true for two years, yeah.

Good afternoon, Eric. What are your thoughts on Marlins RHP Brandon White? A bit older for a prospect, but has improved stuff and elite extension. Not to mention, he’s 6’8.

Watched him blow out a couple years ago, looked great for two innings then velo keeled off and he walked off the mound. 93-96 now with 7ft3 extension. Super happy for him. Fastball playing like a 7, secondaries mores 45/50.

Okay friends, gonna call it here. Thanks for being flexible with me as I navigate the busy weekend here. I don't expect to go to a regional but maybe we can do a super long chat during that most excellent chaos that is next weekend. Would love to put on Squeeze Play and just riff with you guys.

Let's tentatively plan on that.
Please go read and share the Bo Sox list, and consider getting an ad free sub to the site if you don't already have one.
