Doesn't even do justice. His exit velo is crazy for a16 year old. I've been told about his camp..I've seen his bat. He had more lift than you know. The ball jumped off his bat. He's up there swinging. Gonna have too tone his aggressiveness down as he moves up but jeez..at 16...he's impressive.

You think he'll get promoted any this year?

The Braves are vehemently against promoting DSL players stateside their first year. Diego may change that, but it's probably not in the cards. That said, he's the first position player in forever to even garner the thought. Kinda backwards the Braves don't push hitters like they do pitchers...lol. Then again...what hitter has garnered that recently?
IMHO, Diego hasn't passed Perdomo, but it won't be long. I saw Perdomo recently and he's no longer just using his tools. He's guessing more. Trying to be selective more. Any athlete that gets instruction starts thinking about what to do more. That's Perdomo. He looks the part ..but the adjustments they have him doing having taken yet....gonna be interesting to see the translation. That said...Diego is the best looking hitter since..Perdomo. (They both swing if it's a country mile near the zone).

It sounds like they would both be right at home in the Braves lineup.

So this Diego kid seems to be pretty damn special at 16. Did the Braves also sign his sister Dora as well.. I hear she is a good scout and excellent at finding things.

He's in the deal for Jhoan Duran
Breaking fake news is a ban worthy offense, just FYI.
