    God I am so impressed with how Soroka doesn’t mind pitching to contact.

    Not going to lie...Chip’s call on the Riley was 400 x better than Boog, Ross, and Chipper.

    Riley’s hands were SO quick on that homer.

    that's how he gets that launch angle and exit velocity

    Riley murdered that ball...holy crap.

    Riley is a perfect example of a prospect most of us would be willing to move...he might end up being one of best hitters of the bunch. He has gotten better each year.

    Riley caught up to a center cut 90 mph fastball.

    Let's not pretend like we can analyze his swing mechanics or future based on that haha.

    I do look forward to quoting these comments in about a month.

    They are just excited about the kid, but you cannot help being an asshole. You're pathetic.

    I’m obviously a huge Max Fried fan but Soroka may be a legit ace. He’s just so composed and knows how to get outs.
