Yeah nice numbers. I'm not sure what it proves. Doesn't JBJ have a better avg, exit velo than 10D? I know Moreland does. That means their ceiling is higher? I'm not buying any such thing. I wonder what somebody like Wade Boggs would have had for an exit velo.? I would guess it probably wouldn't have been too high. He hit an awful lot of bleeders and bloops in his career. Does that make him a bad hitter? Obviously not.Here’s a data set from 2015. (Benny’s at 88.2 mph on the season.)
Again, I’m cautious not to overemphasize and I’m not saying he’s not a good player, or that he couldn’t improve here. And some guys with elite exit velo struggle (like Sano) or flame out. I’m just saying it’s a clue.
