    Don't know how accurate it is but he's listed on AZL Reds

    Bouncing this back up, because, well, I get on these kicks where I just become a huge fan of a player for no particular reason.

    So he starts with the DSL Reds as a just turned 18 year old kid, and... struggles. until promoted to the now defunct DSL Rojas. Whatever the difference, it clicked. maybe sample, nerves at his first pro team, whatever. 2018 he starts with the DSL Reds and dominates. Gets the call to come to the states, and in a small sample, he actually hits better. He is repeating at the AZL Reds and is hitting even better. He turns 21 in December, and probably is in Billings to start next year. A hitter in a hitter's league. I think the Reds are taking a conservative approach with him. Maybe it's a language thing, who knows. But he's clearly one of the better hitters in the system at this stage. Honestly, I'd love it if the Reds moved him to Greeneville today.
