FG chat:
pelkey: not trying to suggest that they are terribly similar players or anything, but could drew waters be on that moncada-like spectrum of players who don’t get exposed until they reach the highest level of competition? or is it more like his approach is too geared toward contact (which is why he isn’t getting to power)?

Kiley McDaniel: staying on the same topic…
12:36
Kiley McDaniel: There’s some thought that Waters is talented enough that he won’t adjust until he’s challenged and thus falls into Brinson/Robert/Acuna vortex where you need a slew of 6 and 7 tools to continue as is and succeed in MLB. He may also be hunting pitches and has enough hitter IQ to adapt his approach at each level and just always put up plate discipline numbers close to these. Being an up-the-middle guy with a history of hitting for years and young for the level allows you to believe more than this can continue as-is. But yes, Waters is in this general area where the pitch selection will dictate his offensive output.
Also- note FG made on Ian Andersons breaking stuff-
Nick: Ian Anderson’s numbers are insane, and I keep reading his breaking ball is really good. But the spin rate you guys have on it is really low. What am I missing?
1:16
Kiley McDaniel: It flashed 60 as an amateur but is a 50 pitch now. The spin rate is very low, but it’s spin efficient so that sorta overstates the issue. The CH has improved as the CB regressed a bit.
