Here’s a simple answer to the question presented at the title: he’s a young guy, having turned only 20 this past November. He is clearly talented but his hitting needs polish, which could come as he advances through the minor league levels.
There is no doubt that Estevan Florial is talented. Baseball Prospectus rated him the No. 2 prospect in the organization behind Gleyber Torres and projects a 70-grade player (All-Star center fielder) as the overall future potential. However, when you strike out at a 31.9% clip in Low-A, there are some eyebrows raised.
