There’s always one. Always.
Every year at short-season ball, there’s a prospect who catches my eye. There are always several that I like, but just one who I am absolutely fascinated by. Even though his game might not be fully developed, there’s just something that hold my attention and won’t let it go. Trevor Clifton, Zack Short, Eloy Jimenez, and Jose Albertos are previous apples of my eye.
This year is no different, but it’s not any of the usual suspects. It’s not Nico Hoerner, nor is it Nelson Velazquez. Not Brailyn Marquez, Fernando Kelli, or Jonathan Sierra, though I like them all very, very much.
