The same is true when you go to Minor League games. There are some guys who just stand out. A few years ago we went to an A+ game and there was a relief pitcher throwing upper 90’s. Even just watching him warmup in the bullpen it was different, just a higher level of ballplayer. Tough to put into words but it was more than just the extra pop of the carcher’s mitt. He’s pitching in the Majors now

All the position player we knew who were drafted it's the pitching they are struggling with, even Jo Adell. He does well in the minors then struggles when called up. Of the others, two made it to AAA, the rest never higher than AA. With the two who made it to AAA you could watch their BA sink with every step up in competition.
