00:00mark vientos while he is a bat first player there's a reason why he's a bat first player
00:05and he's always going to profile better probably as a dh than he will even as someone at first base
00:09or at third base ronnie mauricio a very athletic talent but he can't stay healthy here's the
00:15difference with this current youth movement these are all player profiles i've always built their
00:20game around their speed carson bench was drafted the first round out of osu the first ever draft
00:25pick by david sterns a couple years ago he was a very good batman was a two-way player like
00:30noel
00:31mclean could throw cheddar on the mound too but the appeal about him most was just how uber athletic
00:36he was aj ewing when he was first picked up by the new york mats crazy enough they drafted him
00:41because of the compensation pick out of like 131 overall and the jacob de grom signing with the texas
00:48rangers very athletic player when the mats drafted him but the bat to ball skills weren't nearly as
00:53polished as what they've now become i like seeing that there is some consistency in that player
00:59profile of the players they've been looking at and also developing we know the skills that these guys
01:04have i think that's the important thing too and you you mentioned that you know you had a guy like
01:08bench where the athleticism just jumped off the page for for him right and it's why he was a first
01:13round pick and then aj ewing i think the thing when you talk about him it's like man you're talking
01:19about the bat to ball skills for him was not great early career it was about the speed it was
01:23about
01:23the athleticism but now he looks comfortable at the plate even at the major league level he's had
01:29very professional at bats which is arguably the most impressive thing to me when i'm watching him
01:34right now is just how professional he is at the plate so yeah i think athleticism is going to matter
01:40here and you're seeing it in the player profile particularly with these outfielders
