I hear he's better than Acuna

Might want to trade Acuna now before he really starts to decline.

[AerchAngel]

Big Ben. Well cheff already mocks him so no worries.

He mocks everyone, he should be enamored.

he's definitely expendable with pache hitting a HR yesterday

[CJ9]

Just realized Pache has 1 BB and 19 Ks in 86 ABs. He had a 7.6 BB% in Rome last year so hopefully that'll start to normalize soon.

[CJ9]

He also has 7 XBHs in 21 games this year in a miserable league for offense. He had 21 in 119 games last year at Rome.

Technically exhibition.

Technically exhibition.

but did he get paid?

[bravesfanMatt]

I don’t know honestly. But if Russell wilson hit a homer. Would that be a professional homerun.

It is weird that he's not getting steals. Usually that's prevalent in the low minors.

Third base and home plate are harder to steal. All those extra base hits are ruining his stolen base opportunities! /s

[SJ24]

Singled in first AB tonight. Average up to .290.

Second at bat: was down 0-2 and fought back to earn a walk after 10 pitches.

Imagining him in a year or two gets me absolutely giddy.

Impressive at-bat. We do need to see more walks from him.

[zbhargrove]

We need to see a lot more from Pache IMO... he's still just riding on hype based on raw tools and defense. Besides defense, those raw tools have a long long way to go. We've been hearing about him breaking out since last year and it still has yet to happen. I'm not as high on the dude as most I guess.

He’s literally a career .290 hitter despite being extremely young every where he’s been. Pache can clearly hit and is not just defense.
