Literally was just thinking about this dude the other day. I always saw him as a Bo Bichete ver2 so I wasn’t surprised when Toronto dealt him. Crazy how this game goes. He was super hyped coming out of Vandy
i know man it’s kinda crazy. Tbh honest i watched him a little in Vandy was a really good hitter but I just knew his extra base power would be a big issue and here we are
@@hustleoutthebox I agree with you 100%
@@hustleouttheboxhey man, perfect for my twins philosophy! Signing a single hitters to 140 million contract (Mauer). Lol, sorry can you tell I’m a little salty.
I was such a baseball nerd up until about 2012, then just fell off… I really miss “old” baseball. I didn’t care how long the games where or how people wanted to play the shift or how they wanted to outsmart billy bean.
I believe he is going to make an impact sometime in 2024 for the Twins. Depending on what the Twins do this offseason and if he has a good spring training I could see him making the opening day roster. If you want a interesting story the Twins tried to change his swing to give him more power and he struggled. So at some point he just told the coaches screw it and he went back to his old swing. And what is promising is in the second half this year he seemed to gain some power. Also I posted this before watching the video so I guess my comment was mostly “pointless”. 😅
Still super swaggy ball player! Glad he is a Twin!
shows how tuff this sport is. can go from being one of the best players in hs or college to just becoming an average guy on a roster.
absolutely
Twins looking like they could be a good playoff team in the years to come, sort of like the Phillies right now.
As a Jays fan from Toronto I remember we were skeptical of this kid because he had no power. We fleeced Minnesota on that deal. Auston Martin and Simeon Woods Richardson for Berrios
absolutely
fleeced so much that ur manager pulled him and ruined ur szn
The amount of seats they were selling in triple A is crazy
He’s be unlucky with injuries and losing time with Covid and other factors. He was on his way to being a bust but he turned it around and played very well in the half second of the season. He’s hit very well recently, plays good defense, can play multiple positions and is going to be called up next year and hopefully contribute. He will be a welcome addition to our team next year too because we have too many lefties at times.
Amazing content ss always. I know his extra-base power is really what is holding him back. But would he be considered a player that might get moved up if he just made contact at a higher clip and got more singles? Or is he a player that has to project as a EXB hitter? We've seen guys make the majors being strictly contact single hitter guys in the past
appreciate you 💪🏼 and i’ve said XBH is only holding him back because he’s not hitting at a higher clip. I think their okay with him only hitting singles if he’s actually hitting if that makes sense. So basically if he can hit .280+ i think he’ll be up but just hitting under .250 with no XBH power will keep him down in the farm
His St. Paul stats should be discounted because it is a wildly offensive park based on park factor. Also, Martin's profile is his biggest problem. Isn't good enough defensively to play up the middle. Doesn't have enough pop to play the corners. So what is he? Could he replace Kyle Farmer or Willi Castro as a ute? Maybe. But why bother? If they can bring Castro back, they will (Farmer has probably priced himself out of a return), and that leaves no room for Martin. At this point he seems to have the upside of a guy who shuttles between AAA and MLB until his status makes that untenable or too expensive.
Turns out he can be a solid mlb contributor all twins had to do was stop trying to mess with his swing & let him be him instead if trying to turn him into a power hitter . Never understand why mlb team mess with players swings sometimes guys aren't meant to be power hitters unlikely martin will ever be a high homerun guy but as long as he can be a good hitter who cares . Been fun to see him contribute this year so far
Had a good season this year tho
solid yes!
There might be room for a super utility player now that Nick Gordon was traded.
Doesnt let his hips explode when he swings
Austin Martin Vanquished
He’s 24 and it it’s baseball….
Bro!! You make some fire 🔥 ass videos!! And baseball is my first love and favorite sport! 👏🏾
appreciate you Zack 💪🏼
@@hustleoutthebox not a problem bro!! ⚾️ ⚾️
Kyle Wright and Dansboy fit the bill
the short answer is that he has 0 pop and can't play defense
That top five all lookin 😬
Twins are so awful at trades. We got him and SWR who looks ok but probably won't be anything crazy for Berrios who's probably gonna end up being a huge part of the Jays for the next few years. Meanwhile when we decide to buy it's even worse. We got Mahle from Cincinnati who's pitched maybe 3 games for us for Steer who's become one of the Reds most exciting young hitter, and Encarnacion-Strand who's become one of their best prospects
at least the Arraez/Pablo trade worked out as a marlins fan I'm kinda happy it worked out for both teams you guys also got a 17 or 18 y/o prospect from the marlins in that trade who had decent tools and was walkinmg like 2x as much as he was striking out
Look at the bright side: the Twins managed three playoff wins this year, while the other teams you mentioned combined for no wins at all.
Mean parents. Probably everyone calls him ASSton Martin.
😂😭😭 best comment
@@hustleoutthebox thank you!
Another case for contending teams to just trade prospects. Ik what I’m getting not what I’m giving
Doesn’t always work that way. There’s a lot of cases too where teams traded future hall of famers for bums or average/below average players. Trea turner, Johan Santana, Fernando Tatis Jr. Etc. come to Mind.
Invested his baseball card auto disappointed 😞
😩
