Love these threads. Pump it up!

Disrespectful. Very disrespectful.

He just turned 18 and with his broad shouldered frame could easily pack on 190-200 lbs with little trouble as he gets older.

Altuve is 5'6". Hedbert is closer to Soto's height than Altuve's. There are plenty of sub 6' ballplayers.

Hedbert also just turned 18 in May, plenty of time to fill out his frame.

Your Argument is very skewed since this ONE game he had tonight is really inflating his stats.
You say he is batting .368 but he was batting .310 the game before.
You say he hit 2 home runs but he only had 2 home runs combined for the season before.
Lets look at a bigger sample size.


He looks good but Lets Compare him to another Guy who is 18.
He only had 2 Home runs total before this game now giving him 4.
This game is really inflating his stats but its great for a small sample size.

Lets look at 2 players BEFORE this game of his.


Perez This year
18 Years Old
.323/.383/.484
2 Home Runs
6 RBI's
2 2B
0 3b
6 Runs




Now lets look at another 18 Year Old who is on a bigger market team.




18 Years Old
.293/.383/.554
4 Home Runs
17 RBI's
4 2B
4 3B
21 Runs






Perez Last 10 games before this game

13 Hits
1 Home Run
0 2B
0 3B
2 RBI's
10 Runs
.278/.350/.361



Other Guy That is 18



12 Hits
2 Home Runs
2 2B
1 3B
5 RBI's
6 Runs
.316/.395/.579


While he is off to a great start this 1 game has just inflated his stats a ton. But lets see if he can keep it up.

But, I would rather have the other guy that is 18 and would rather call him the next Juan Soto.


And i didnt even have to make a thread about the other guy ;}

Ramirez only has 4 HR, way more K, and is almost 19. I'm not even arguing though. Neither of these guys are Juan Soto.

You are correct i meant to put 4 it was a typo.
But i didnt say any names...
Dont make a difference if "the other guy" is ALMOST 19 he still is 18 just like perez.
Ok "the other guy" has a few more strikeouts. But he is far better in every category so far and even when you compare both of their last 10 games.
I dont think either of them will be either but like i said, i think the other guy has a far better chance and i didnt even have to make a thread about how "the other guy" just won "Player of the week"

This is a silly topic, but I'm going to push back a little here.

This is Alexander Ramirez's 2nd taste of pro ball, and Hedbert's first. They were different J2 classes - that's more what I MEAN by the the age difference.

And sure, K% isn't everything especially at this age, but when it's 37% in Rookie ball, it's a little concerning. (Hedbert's is 23%)

I wouldn’t go that far but between his play at spring training and rookie ball he has shown signs that he could be very special, only time will tell how good he can actually get.

Yes, and it’s great too see that after just a few years, he’s now the player in a comparison “……….. is the next Soto!”

The next "Juan" could possibly be playing on that same Nats team already. Not going to say who, but he hit a pair of bombs in the same game just a couple of nights ago. 🤫

You anticipate that he’ll reach 350 lbs, or so???

Will he be in ‘21 Update? Is he better than Babe Ruth? And does he think a National on the West Coast is a good idea?

Hedbert as an 18 year old in the complex league:

6.8% walk rate, 23.3% k rate

Soto as a 17 year old in the GCL

7.7% walk rate, 13.7% K rate

There could be a fun thread of all the 17-19 year old complex league hall of famers that never amounted to much afterward.

What about a 17 year old SS who went 355/404/610 with 6HR and less than a K per game in a relatively “full” complex league season? Let’s all be glad he didn’t have cards until far later.
