So according to this, Mississippi Trusmark Park is the #4 pitcher-friendly park in all of the minors. (Full season - 120 parks) Makes what Pache/Waters doing all that more impressive.

Here are the top 5 ballparks in terms of runs per game at home:

Reno (Pacific Coast)
Albuquerque (Pacific Coast)
Las Vegas (Pacific Coast)
Charlotte (International)
Lancaster (California)

And the bottom five, from fewest runs to most.

Jacksonville (Southern)
Wilmington (Carolina)
Lakeland (Florida State)
Mississippi (Southern)
Jupiter (Florida State)

Anyone have a scouting report on Kurt Hoekstra's stuff as a pitcher? First year as a full-time pitcher and he's bouncing between Florida and Gwinnett.

It definitely makes the HR numbers for Pache more impressive, but I'd be curious to see what Mississippi's BABIPs look like compared to league average. Might explain a little bit of Waters' BABIP, though obviously at that level there's a lot of luck there no matter what.

Regardless, this is why Pache is clearly the better prospect, IMO. I like Waters, but it's hard to tell how much of his season this year is smoke and mirrors.

But what about last season, and the season before that?

Think Kiley just said scouts are split on whether Pache or Waters is the better prospect.

I think one thing to consider on Waters is that he has a full year less of professional experience and more power projection. We're just a year removed from Pache having 0 professional home runs so we know that can change relatively quickly.

I'm not sure there is a big gap between them. If Pache's acceleration is legit than maybe he's going to put himself in a different tier, but not difficult to see Waters catching and passing him in power while perhaps having a better hit tool.

I'd probably be holding Waters just to see how it shook out. No need to rush on either of them unless the org has warning bells.

Waters may have more offensive potential, though right now I definitely like Pache's numbers more. But I don't think there's any question whose defense is better. Kiley knows more than I do, but I am having trouble seeing Waters at the same level as Pache.

I think pache is the better prospect bc he's supposed to be elite defensively and an above avg hitter to go with it. I think there's a good chance waters is a better hitter though in the end

i mean a .457 BABIP is a lot different than .360.

It is. He has a career milb babip ~ .400 (it was barely over a week or so ago... not figuring it again). He won't maintain it, but I do think it will be higher than normal

I keep feeling like a Benintendi type of player eventually. Not yet, as he was a college hitter with some experience but the hit tool should end up strong with good D. Maybe not 30 hr power, but likely 15-low 20's with all good tools across.

Yeah, but his BABIP has been unusually strong since he was drafted. I kind of wonder if he's trying too hard for power this year, with both K rate and BABIP going up. Or if he's being overly selective on what he swings at. Pitch recognition has never seemed to be a problem for him.
