The strikeout rate is a little high but he is a very well rounded player as he plays good defense and is super fast to go along with his good bat"

"Torres looks like a completely new hitter this season. He is walking more than he is striking out due to the second best chase% in baseball. His .388 OBP is tied for 5th best in baseball which is absurd coming off the worst year of his career Huge move for the Tigers picking him up last offseason"

The power is lacking a little bit but his plate control is elite for his age and he also has XX stolen bases in XX games. Bright future for Gillen and I think Tampa is a perfect fit"

"The Shadow part of the zone is where things get complicated. The league is hitting .222 with a .334 SLG on pitches in the shadow zone. It is not clear cut if you should swing or not at pitches in this zone but generally I believe it is a good idea to lay off before X strikes but be aggressive and protect the plate with X strikes"

"The XX year old is able to get elite extension out of his 6'5 frame. His pitch mix is really solid as he throws four distinct pitches that are all quite good which is rare from a reliever. He will be effective at the major league level soon and there is even a chance he could convert into a starter"

"Aracena's spin rates and movement are already great and his velocity is fantastic. He mainly throws fastball and cutters but I think using his secondaries more frequently would be beneficial. Despite a 6'3 frame he would rank in the bottom XX% in the MLB in extension but I wouldn't be overly concerned with that"

"Overall these are the grades I would give: Mets: C+ Lefty help was definitely a necessity and Soto is going to be pretty good. I understand why they made this move but I like both of the prospects they gave up. Orioles: A The Orioles are not competitive this season so giving up a reliever like Soto who is a free agent at the end of the season is a no brainer. Both relievers they received back have pretty high ceilings and good stuff which is why I believe this is a great move for Baltimore"

Pete ranks 5th in baseball among qualified hitters in xwoba and overall looks like a completely different player at the plate. This is the best Pete Alonso has ever been and it is likely the best he will ever be. He is elite right now"
