00:00jesus mate of the milwaukee brewers the youngest player in the top 10 at just 18 years old

00:07if i could summarize him in one word wouldn't it just be freak freak his is the quickest hands

00:15i've seen from a prospect in a long time like where there's pitches running in on inside like

00:22up against his body and he somehow just whips the barrel out it looks like he's swinging a

00:26wiffle ball bat sometimes and you see it from both sides of the plate which is the craziest part

00:31i don't know if i can like i don't think i can fact check this but i don't think there's another

00:36hitter like i know he did this i don't think there's another hitter in the minor leagues who

00:40posted 110 mile per hour exit velocity from both sides of the plate but that's what what jesus

00:46monte did and mind you he did that at 18 years old he was 17 years old at the start of the season

00:51to be able to already 6 1 200 pounds switch hitting 18 year old be posting exit velocities

00:58north of 110 from both sides of the plate is bonkers and what's crazy the other part of it is

01:03he's still tapping into his potential here i i think there's more power just just as he

01:09optimizes his angles a little bit more it's kind of a noisy operation that he gets away with because

01:13his hands are ridiculous but as he cleans up the mechanics a little bit i think you'll start to see

01:18elevate the ball a bit more the other part that's nuts to me is in a season where he was 17 years

01:22old to start he finished the year in double a and had some double a success his last game of the year

01:27was a double a postseason game where he went deep like he's going to be 18 years old still at the

01:31start of the season we'll be getting a second taste of double a in 2026 i don't know if he sticks

01:37it short and if he moves over to second base you know i think he's going to be one of the more

01:41dynamic exciting second baseman in the game if it all works together and that's why when i look at

01:45jesus mate i again this is one of the other few comps i'll throw out today i can't escape the

01:51catel marty comp with him because they look so similar in the way that they operate their frame

01:56defying juice and just how special they are from both sides of the plate
