Vladimir Asencio is viewed as one of the toughest hitters to strikeout from the DR in this class.
5’10, 170 pounds. There’s a belief from evaluators he’ll grow into more power as he matures. Puts the ball in play.
Still profiles in CF at the moment.
Fermin - 400K
Reyes - 450K
Where the top 5 IFA Sox signings are on BA's top 100 for this year's class:
37. Vladimir Asencio, OF, Dominican Republic
54. Carlos Carrasquel, 3B, Venezuela
85. Edwin Brito, OF, Dominican Republic
89. Dalvinson Reyes, RHP, Dominican Republic
99. Anderson Fermin, SS/CF, Dominican Republic
Hey! We got a top 100 pitcher!
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
Others say ascensio has great bat to ball skill, but not sure about power. Ie: rosier 2.0!
Nice to project that for a 16 year old.
I assume that bladoff guy who reports this international stuff has some experience with projections.
Until I see the kid with my own eyes, I trust very few writers opinions.
And I am not saying I can judge talent, heart and desire in a prospect.
I saw teel a lot in college and he did not impress me that much. Yet his numbers thus far as a pro look pretty good.
Bladoff = Ben blader. Had a typo
At the very least, Asencio is noted as "one of the most difficult hitters to strike out." Rosier is definitely not that. To me, it's just not a good comp.
Now I’m wondering if Carlos Carrasquel is related to former White Sox shortstop Chico Carrasquel, who was the first Venezuelan star player in MLB.
Could be a grandson or possible great grandson? (Chico was born in 1926 and played from 1950 to 1959…

Think it’s worth noting that the top 3 in that list were from Cubs and their bonuses were not subjected to their IFA bonus pool.
Huh?
