Ariel Armas 1/2 with a dong so far.  Since the ASB through 2 PAs tonight:

116 PAs, .252/.328/.456, 105ish wRC+, 9.5% BB, 13.8% K, 5 dongs (~26 homer pace)

Reminder that this is an elite defensive catcher as well

Is there a lot of swing and miss risk with Sorrell? His swing looks super long to me

Yes, that was the big concern going into the draft

Yes, but considering he was just drafted and is succeeding, don't expect them to mess with it until the offseason.

I mainly don't care about what guys' performance looks like the summer pist draft.  Some guys are tired, some are getting used to pro ball, some are impacted by the layoff, etc. etc.  Don't get too up or too down on anyone.

But if Sorrell's contact numbers are even close to this bad next year you can write him off immediately.  Absolutely unplayable amounts of swing and miss to have in A ball.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Got to be a humiliating moment for everyone involved. Think of the manager and coaches of this team - what an insult....
