The thing that's weird to me is that somebody built like Alcantara has pop and somebody built like Szczur doesn't. Baseball is weird.

Szczur's swing is just not built for power.

Part of why baseball is so fascinating to me. Mechanics play such a huge role in who you turn out to be.

yeah, score one for Keith Law, i guess

[Guest]

That is actually a perfect microcosm of what's wrong with Law. Take legitimate scouting opinion(Szczur won't hit for enough power), reduce it to a soundbite of questionable accuracy(Szczur is Juan Pierre!), continue to arrogantly parrot soundbite even when said soundbite continues to be questionable(Szczur to this day has an IsoP nearly 2x of Pierre).
