In this week’s Future Projection, Ben Badler and Carlos Collazo talk about the Arizona Fall League, the degree to which it matters and players we are excited about in the league.
We then turn to Ben’s recent story about hitting standouts in the Dominican Summer League to compare and contrast top prospects like Josuar Gonzalez and Elian Peña against top draftees like Ethan Holliday and Eli Willits.
Later, we take listener questions, including: Should we give Angel Genao and Cam Collier mulligans? Is Joshua Baez’s breakout legit? And what do we look for when trying to determine if a prospect is breaking out?
