He will work his walks.
He's going to take pitches down the heart of the plate more often than other guys, but I think with the contact quality with him, him being really strategic about the pitches that he's swinging at are important.
There's more power there than I think
people realize just in terms of like the raw EVs.
He had a 109 this year.
It's like a 35% hard hit rate, a 101.5 90th percentile, 87 mile per hour average exit velocity.
So the reason he's not ever hit a home run as a professional is because the angles is a heavy ground ball hitter, right?
Doesn't pull the ball in the air.
Now, if that's something because of the type of contact skills he has, because they're so outlier,
There's potentially some room there to trade off a little contact to get to better angles and potentially optimize him.
His younger brother, Tate, the Braves, did that this year.
He's already up in AA.
He's kind of surpassed Ty.
maybe a better prospect kind of overall at this point, but South of scene, second baseman hit tool driven second baseman.
In some ways, it's not that different from like a Josh case of itch case of itch is a little bit bigger, has a little bit more role.
Power is a better defender.
He's a guy that could fit in at shortstop.
If you need them to South of senior, really isn't going to play shortstop because the arm is pretty weak.
It fits into like a lot of the, uh,
the profiles of players that the blue Jays tend to chase.
