Losing 2020 as a minor league season hurt many players. It was a lost season of development, of getting plate appearances against live pitching that wasn’t your own and altogether just not being able to play baseball was an issue. Sure some players went to “summer camp” (I still hate that term) and got to get some instruction from the big league coaching staff, but even then, unless they were put on the roster, they just had to keep doing simulated situations as a way to save some face.
Simon Muzziotti could have used 2020 to develop some more.
