Maybe the only Yankee with true opposite field power since Arod. (aside from Judge).

Sometimes Gleyber will go to right-center when he's really hitting well.

I don't remember the last Yankee lefty with legit opposite field power. To be fair, yankees lefties aren't asked to go the other way because it's 314 to right. But the fact that Soto can take it out to left center means he's incredibly hard to pitch to.

It's picking up steam slowly but there is starting to be some hype over how good Chase Hampton can be.
Yankees prospects are notoriously overrated, but apparently a lot of teams are asking about him in trades and the Yankees have had to turn them down.

I'm annoyed that one of the biggest cons in all his scouting reports is that he doesn't throw super hard. He sits around 92-94 mph. As if velocity is all that matters at the major league level. We've known for 100 years that changing speeds and locating is what matters but OMG...if you don't hit triple digits, you must be a fukkin scrub.

I have feeling Trent Grisham is going to have a solid season. Rondon has arm fatigue which is normal this type of year. We got pieces to make a good run, if the arms can stay healthy.
