I think the fact baseball has started to use technology to train is helping these kids...

you can set up video equipment and basically take apart every single frame of detail for hitting.

You can use machines to show them every spin type in the cage...and replicate every pitcher's delivery ...

Under 20's debuting in the last 20 years. About half hit...

Crushed it -- Juan Soto, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Felix Hernandez
Really Good -- Madison Bumgarner, Justin Upton
Had Flashes -- Julio Arias, Rick Ankiel, Jurickson Profar, BJ Upton
Long Timer -- Edwin Jackson

Busts -- Wilson Betemit, Elvis Luciano (injured / Rule 5),
Adalberto Mondesi, Matt Riley

    - This is useful, thank you. Did you notice the draft pick was integral to a triple digit play last night? -- nm - David Aug 19, 15:57 4
      - I don't understand what you're talking about ... a triple digit play? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 15:58 3
        
        Triple play. Sorry, it got autocorrected. -- nm - David Aug 19, 16:08 2
        
        Oh, I hadn't seen that, but that was a great play all the way around. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 16:17 1
        
        I thought that was a fascinating play by the Tampa player. He knew the kid at first was in his first game and only six weeks out of college. - David Aug 19, 16:31
