Among the Rays top prospects set to debut in 2018, Jake Bauers looks to be a possible (if not probable) long term solution for the Rays at first base, but one concern that you might have while reviewing Triple-A performance is his batted ball profile and, in particular, his extreme infield fly ball rates.
Watching games it never seemed that he hit weak fly balls in the infield, but looking at the data the statistic IFFB% really stands out:
