Re: Bader time
Too early to suggest we have a power hitting Eckstein who plays CF?

by Chris Mitchell - July 26, 2017
Bader has plus bat speed and some raw power, but it’s hard for him to utilize it in games because his swing is so flat and linear. He has to really adjust his lower half to move his barrel up and down in the hitting zone and, while this worked at Double-A, not everyone thinks it’s sustainable in the big leagues. Additionally, Bader has trouble seeing the ball against right-handed pitching, especially breaking balls, over the top of which he often swings. It’s more of a 40/45 hit/power profile which doesn’t play everyday in a corner, but Bader was an above-average runner for me in the Fall League and plus during the season for some scouts with whom I spoke, so some orgs think he can moonlight in center field.

Re: Bader time
Harrison "Darth" Bader. I basically stole that nickname from the MMA fighter Ryan Bader but oh well.

It's Harrison Bader day on the MLB network. He was on MLB Now earlier and going to be on Intentional Talk next.

does Harison Bader have a realistic shot at a 20/20 season in 2019?

I would think so. Steamer has him for 16/14 for his age-25 season, so you'd figure the range of distributions puts 20/20 at maybe a 70th percentile outcome in there.
