Ohtani is cheating, dude! Good answer though.

The Current MLB player with the most 30 grade tools?
Meg Rowley
7:14
Probably a catcher?
7:15
can imagine a 30 runner and a close to 30 bat
Vin
7:16
Not a current player but a recent one, Chris Carter basically had power and nothing else
Meg Rowley
7:16
But a good receiver who pitchers like throwing to... maybe Stephen Vogt?
Oh look at you, Tommy!
Matt
7:17
Meg, are these Baseball Zen "commericals" on MLB.tv a concession to you talking about the highlights guitar riff on Effectively Wild?
Meg Rowley
7:17
I don't know if I've seen that one yet?
RTJ
7:17
i'm starting to think the Pirates might be in trouble this season
Luke Hooper
7:17
Seth Beer is sitting at 35 hit, 20 speed, 20 field on THE BOARD
Guest
7:18
Astros batting their best hitter 6th
Ben Clemens
7:18
Gonna be honest; that's strange
Luke Hooper
7:19
I thought Correa being gone would change that, but him still being 6 is nutty.
Meg Rowley
7:19
The ump reviews being announced is great
Joel
7:21
Agree, umps being mic’d up shouldn’t be waaaay better….but it is?
Meg Rowley
7:21
It's great for the folks in the ballpark who don't have the benefit of a booth, and even for folks at home on more obscure calls.
Guest
7:22
Is there a legit 20 field guy playing now?
Ben Clemens
7:22
Nelson Cruz
Eno Sarris' Sandwhich Induced Nightmares
7:22
Yordan Alvarez is batting 6th?
Ben Clemens
7:22
I mean, he's probably their best hitter
But Tucker is batting 6th
which is not good
Luke Hooper
7:22
Fletcher's changeup is gnarly!
Eno Sarris' Sandwhich Induced Nightmares
7:22
Yeah, I know. Ppl just keep forgetting Alvarez flat out rakes
Ben Clemens
7:23
Every time I submit an article about Alvarez it overuses 'underrated'
Meg Rowley
7:23
which, he won ROY! wild!
Ben Clemens
7:23
People don't rate good-hit DH's well enough I don't think
Meg Rowley
7:23
agreed
Farhandrew Zaidman
7:24
Time machine me please back to that Josh Fields for Yordan trade.
There's no guarantee Yordan turns into Yordan on the Dodgers, but WOOF can you imagine?
Ben Clemens
7:24
lol Edmonds
'oh!' on a soft liner to left field
Meg Rowley
7:25
Meg: we'll be done chatting when this game ends Cardinals: lol
Ben Clemens
7:25
he is DYING to see this first home run
Guest
7:25
Alvarez feels like he has a Vladdy level season in him, so numbers last year seem even a little underwhelming
Ben Clemens
7:26
Yeah, I thikn some of it is that he hits a "quiet" 140 wRC+
Meg Rowley
7:26
If folks are looking for something to watch as they wait for the later games to start, Arkansas/Florida is the bottom of the 5th.
Luke Hooper
7:29
Even Edmonds reacting to that play was crazy.
MKS
7:29
"Soft" liner for Pujols at 106.1 mph... :)
