The Official Thread of Pachemonium

All the top guys (Longenhagen, Law, Sawchik) are very high on him.

80 speed, 70 arm, 55 raw power and he's not done growing. There have been Buxton comps. Could be better- a 6-WAR guy.

We are really lucky.

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.

Hitting .296 as a 19-year-old in A+ is great. His K% is 18.75%. He's hitting for extra bases more than ever before.

He is number 37 on the preseason Fangraphs top 100.

He can be top 10 at the start of next year, IMO. Needs to finish strong.

Methinks we have been a bit spoiled by Acuna and Albies. Not hitting as well in the minors as they did is something a lot of guys are guilty of.
 
Just had another very good at bat.

Was down 0-2. Worked the count full and put the ball in play (groundout)
 
Numbers since April 26th (7 games):

10-29 (.344) with 1 home run, 2 strikeouts, and 2 walks.

Funny thing is that Acuna batted .287 in High A last year at age 19 while Pache is batting .291 in High A at age 19.

This is the first set of prospects you’ve seen since being old enough to use a computer, yes?

No. Do you remember Jeff Jackson and Brien Taylor? Hell, I may or may not have been around at the time of David Clyde and Fred Lynn.

I just choose to dream and have fun. Pache is a good guy to dream on. You act like I'm dreaming on Marcus Mooney or Ray Patrick Didder.

I'm not comparing him to either player. I've closely followed baseball for close to 35 years at this point and I just don't see the results as a top 50 prospect at this point, sorry... it's all hype and tools thus far. I hope the tools all com together and I hope I'm wrong... but he's got a long way to go.

Lol oh god. I’m not saying Pache was better and certainly not saying batting average is the only way to determine who’s better. Just trying to prove that Pache is a damn good hitter with his power starting to develop.

One homerun proves that power is developing?
