his overall #'s and performance aren't technically all that impressive, but GOTDAMN. I don't know if I remember anyone from pro sports aside from maybe Lebron (in recent memory) that is like a video game create a player.

Prototypical height and frame for hitter and pitcher

He's got elite power. Almost all of his homeruns have been to Center and around 400 ft. with I think top 5 exit velocity. I think he only pulled one hr this season really early on. Otherwise everything has been going almost straight CF or LC.

That swing is also a thing of beauty-- so effortless

he has a fastball that was hitting 102 MPH paired with a nasty splitter and curve ball.

have you seen him run the bases?


And yes there are some glaring weaknesses like his Strikeout rate as a hitter and how bad he's been vs lefties, but the talent he has is generational.

Im actually hoping the Angels dont pitch him more than 3 games to close the season and then just let his elbow rest. It';d be a shame to have his career cut short
