Plan for 2027

  1. 1
    Impact high ask Hit the ball harder

    Average exit velocity ranks in the 27th percentile of the Florida State League hitters (150+ PA). The target beats regression to the mean: it is his expected next season with no plan (a value this far from the Bradenton (FSL) median tends to come back part of the way) plus the step a quarter of similar players beat. At 21, he’s about 3 years younger than the typical Bradenton (FSL) player, so the level median is a high bar.

    Exit velocity: 84.6 mph target 86.4 mph no plan ≈ 85.0 mph No one-season check: a lean. Telling this target from noise takes about 396 balls in play; he had 257 in 2026. If he moves up to High-A Greensboro or Double-A Altoona, there’s no public pitch tracking: check his isolated power (ISO) in box scores as a rough stand-in instead. There’s no level-adjusted target, because box scores don’t carry this goal’s measure; the club’s own tracking does. Bradenton (FSL) tracking

Each goal is checked when his sample can tell the target from noise: the 2027 All-Star break if it can by then, else season’s end or the sample it needs; if no single season can, it’s a lean. Coach card
