Coming off an American League Divisional Series appearance, its year 3 of Matt Quatraro tenure. Can they take the next step to a division title? Can Bobby Witt, Jr. take his superstar status to another level? Can Cole Ragans develop more? Will the other starting pitching duplicate last season? The offense can it deliver more? Who will be in the outfield? How about the new stadium development?

I'd say the numbers are probably about what was to be expected from him, making the jump from college to pro ball. He's got a big swing. He knows how to draw some walks, but also tends to strike out a lot. Massive power potential. He's a top 100 MLB prospect for now, but this will be a big year for him, and there will be a lot more to go on and evaluate after he gets through 2025. Unless he just blows the doors off in 2025, I wouldn't expect him to crack the MLB roster until sometime in 2026 or 2027.
I'm sure there are plenty of experts on here who could probably tell you more. [Reply]

Okay, so still have a year or two before he's ready. [Reply]
