Jason Heyward -- best hitting prospect since Tony Gwynn?

[Looch Ness Monster]

Jason Heyward (Atlanta Braves) at AA in 77 plate appearences .422/.506/.734/1.241 and just 5 strikeouts

 

Holy...oh yeah he's 19 year olds.

77 plate appearences.

 

There's your answer.

 

He's really, really good. But let's not go that far.

It's not like it's been two games, not a SSS in my opinion. After a while you have to realize it's not really a fluke. Obviously he'll never hit .422 but he has an incredible approach to hitting, a beautiful swing and an incredible eye, which he has shown at every level, with an OBP over .400 this season.

Again, he's very good but 77 PA is SSS when he has 872 PA in the minors.

 

But yeah, he's f***ing awesome.

Maybe I went a bit overboard but a lot of people don't even know his name, gotta get them to actually view the thread one way or another. Ha

Gotcha. I'm excited for an OF with Heyward and Schafer.

Well with 40 more plate appearances or so...the stats are pretty much the same which tells me he's been pretty consistent since. 15 walks compared to 10 strikeouts in 109 plate appearances is great no matter how you draw it up.

 

.422/.505/.722/1.227, 17 XBH, 4 HR, 21 RBI, 15 BB, 10 SO in 109 plate appearances at AA

Aren't you and Perk Is A Beast on BBW the same guy? If yes, then I figured you would get that reference to kingjamez and his Atlanta homerism. If not, then nevermind.

 

Oh and thanks by the way.

NUMBERRRRZZZZZZ

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

But he included RBI's, so its moot. He also failed to process 77 PA's as a tiny sample size.
