Pache just pulled a sharp liner for a single.
Average up to .296.
Pache just pulled a sharp liner for a single.
Average up to .296.
And right on cue Pache gets another hit. 2-2 with a BB. Average up to .296.
All the top guys (Longenhagen, Law, Sawchik) are very high on him.
80 speed, 70 arm, 55 raw power and he's not done growing. There have been Buxton comps. Could be better- a 6-WAR guy.
We are really lucky.

He is number 37 on the preseason Fangraphs top 100.
He can be top 10 at the start of next year, IMO. Needs to finish strong.

Methinks we have been a bit spoiled by Acuna and Albies. Not hitting as well in the minors as they did is something a lot of guys are guilty of.
The Chosen One (05-03-2018)
Just had another very good at bat.
Was down 0-2. Worked the count full and put the ball in play (groundout)
Numbers since April 26th (7 games):
10-29 (.344) with 1 home run, 2 strikeouts, and 2 walks.
This is the first set of prospects you’ve seen since being old enough to use a computer, yes?
Funny thing is that Acuna batted .287 in High A last year at age 19 while Pache is batting .291 in High A at age 19.
No. Do you remember Jeff Jackson and Brien Taylor? Hell, I may or may not have been around at the time of David Clyde and Fred Lynn.
I just choose to dream and have fun. Pache is a good guy to dream on. You act like I'm dreaming on Marcus Mooney or Ray Patrick Didder.
Oh my.
Oh my.
How do you do?
I'm not comparing him to either player. I've closely followed baseball for close to 35 years at this point and I just don't see the results as a top 50 prospect at this point, sorry... it's all hype and tools thus far. I hope the tools all com together and I hope I'm wrong... but he's got a long way to go.

You might have something if batting average mattered much.
Lol oh god. I’m not saying Pache was better and certainly not saying batting average is the only way to determine who’s better. Just trying to prove that Pache is a damn good hitter with his power starting to develop.
One homerun proves that power is developing?
He hit 2 HR’s off Newk and 1 HR is an improvement from the last two years isn’t it?
Hey I'm rooting for him. I want the hype to be real. But thus far it's not.
Slugging is up to .415 from .343 last year. Iso is up to .132 from .062 last season. Who knows if it continues though
Have you seen him play defense? How about his speed? (I guess they are telling him not to run in A+ for some reason)
I disagree but I guess we’ll see how he finishes. Pache is a top 50 prospect right now with the potential for more depending on how he finishes.
