Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
Signed last year out of DR as a 17-year-old for $155k. Seems to have pretty good plate-discipline for his age, despite the 35-grade name. Could be a diamond-in-the-rough find if he’s taken a big step with contact.

Really struggled in his initial DSL year last year but has been hitting the cover off the ball this year

After following his early-DSL season in 2025, I figured he might get to come stateside. K-rate and BB-rate much improved while not sacrificing power. I'm leery of guys who repeast lower levels, but he's young and if he keeps this up he will be in the mix with a bunch of the other younger OFs.
Eric Hartman and Isaiah Drake are the position players I am most interested in for the rest of the season (well other than the recently drafted players). Hartman just recently came back from an IL stint and since his return he's hitting .290/.353/484 (.837 OPS).
Isaiah Drake is repeating A ball, so ideally you would like to see the numbers be a little better. But he plays pretty great defense, is very fast, and he has shown nice plate discipline this year with a 11.6% walk rate. He's riding a hot streak right now. Wish I was lived close to Augusta to see him live.
