Dude should make the starting lineup. He's a beast.
All joking aside, I'm excited about this kid's future.

If the situation warrants it. Hehehe.
I like his raw potential. But I don't look at him that much differently than I look at Francisco. The guy needs to learn how to take a walk before I ever take him too seriously as a ML hitter.
I don't know about that Cincrazy - he's a bit different hitter than Francisco - doesn't strike out at nearly the same rate as Francisco so he might survive a bit lower walk rate because he'll contact the ball more often - he doesn't walk but he is hitting the ball. Francisco doesn't walk but he is striking out a lot of those times he should be taking pitches. That's the difference I see between them. Soto doesn't walk much but he doesn't let many strikes past him either.

Soto certainly has a better contact rate than Francisco does.... but there is still a lot of work to be done. Guys with his K/BB rate in the Majors still fail to put together successful careers. He must improve it by either adding more walks or cutting down the strikeouts even more.
