Soto is far from the best hitter. I personally think he’s overrated. He had like two good seasons. He’s average now

Juan Soto is an amazing talent, but you can't hit .240 for a season and claim you're the best hitter.

I stopped watching the dunk contest when they started jumping over Kias. Can't imagine what they are doing now

I teach a intro to Sports Medicine elective at my high-school. I fashion it more as an honors PE class - the kids learn the hows and whys behind the activities they play in PE. We begin our unit on biomechanics by talking about what a revolution the Fosbury Flop was and learning the whys behind why his technique worked. The kids are usually pretty intrigued - as they should be. RIP to a legend.

Grew up in oregon too (more recently) and can confirm. Oregon takes its track and field pretty seriously while also having a lot of respect for the local legends and innovators

Yea this also makes since and is important, there’s surely minimal or no film on him this early in the WBC, but that still shows how good his stuff is. If his stuff wasn’t good it wouldn’t matter if they havnt seen him before

And they are also facing others with MLB arms and scouting. I'm confident that when given the choice between "MLB pitcher who I've scouted" vs "unsigned 21 year old dude I have no scouting" every MLB batter is taking the later every single time.

This is the equivalent of a guy that didn’t even go to college or get signed to play basketball outta HS. Getting to play in the the all star game, but this all star game is actually competitive and both sides want to win, and dropping 50 points against the best of the best.

That’s when facing pitchers from the MLB that they have tons of stats on. Not surprising that the struggled against a pitcher they have never faced.

Edit: this article title also conveniently leaves out that he gave up a double to one of the easiest players in the MLB to strike out in that same inning.

Us, dude.

He was only at 89.5 during that outing, so that’ll be the main problem if he can’t get that up. Still, good minor league signing.

Not a Tigers fan but I’m definitely gonna keep an eye out for him. This is good shit right here!

>Julio Rodriguez - 2022 rookie of the year who put up a 25 homer season

I don’t see any contradictions

I too have seen the globetrotters

I heard Chef Poles has money 💰

So, like defense in the NBA?

A man has said foolish things

Question. Why would a player need to speak to other teams about a trade? That’s the GM’s job.

Oof. I mean, you're right, but all the same.
