Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: Assessing Mets Prospects Nick Morabito & Chris Suero's AFL Performances

And I think catchers have an advantage at the plate too, because they get so much exposure to pitches.

They know what balls are.

They know what strikes are.

They can make really strong swing decisions.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

But again, I think that athleticism is going to play better in left than it is behind the plate.

So we'll see how things go for him.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: Assessing Mets Prospects Nick Morabito & Chris Suero's AFL Performances

Double A again, wasn't the best, but I think he's,

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: Assessing Mets Prospects Nick Morabito & Chris Suero's AFL Performances

out a strong showing so far down here and i've seen that athleticism he leads from behind the plate um so still a very interesting vets prospect and then nick morabito is somebody who is actually rule 5 eligible now despite being drafted out of high school he was drafted out of the dc area

Baseball Isn’t Boring

But he was 19 when he signed, which means you are therefore rule five eligible after four years instead of five years.

So he's got to push up that timeline a little bit and try to force his way onto the 40 man.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

And that's why he's here.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: Assessing Mets Prospects Nick Morabito & Chris Suero's AFL Performances

That's another thing that the AFL is rich for is like some 40 man decisions that you need to make.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: Assessing Mets Prospects Nick Morabito & Chris Suero's AFL Performances

You send them to the folly, get a little bit more data on them, a little bit more eyes on them.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

and try to decide, is this guy worth one of our 40 major league roster spots?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: Assessing Mets Prospects Nick Morabito & Chris Suero's AFL Performances

And I think that's going to be a fascinating decision for the Mets because Morabito is extremely fast.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: Assessing Mets Prospects Nick Morabito & Chris Suero's AFL Performances

He's one of the fastest players out here.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: Assessing Mets Prospects Nick Morabito & Chris Suero's AFL Performances

He can steal bags.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: Assessing Mets Prospects Nick Morabito & Chris Suero's AFL Performances

He can get on base.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: Assessing Mets Prospects Nick Morabito & Chris Suero's AFL Performances

It's a lot of ground balls.
