    If it were up to me, it would have been Caissie, not Ballesteros who won hitter of the year. Caissie has the profile of an elite power hitter. Also has improving defense in RF. Big, big fan.

    Agree that Caissie had a better offensive year than Ballesteros, and it's really not even close.

    Where I'm most impressed with Caissie, and I'll expand on this more when we get to him on our top-prospect-lists (still working on that article currently), but it's with the improvement on K's. Southern League saw a ~3% strike out rate increase with that whiffleball of a pre-tacked baseball and saw it drop right off when it was gone. Caissie saw the same ~3% change; down to a pretty solid 27% rate himself. That's the goldilocks zone for him. If he can stay around 27%...he's going to be a great hitter.
