Five 'under the radar' players who stood out during my time in Bradenton
Eddie Rynders on that Cooper Pratt arc without getting the bonus baby treatment.
How did Janik's hits look? I've been box-score watching him for a while and was excited until I started paying close attention to exit velos. I could be wrong, but from what I've seen they've been consistently very low
We have statcast for this game, and Janik's exit velo is . . . eeeeeesh. 51.5, 66, 86.2

Conversely, Konnor Griffin already is posting MLB-grade EVs. 110.3 and 109.8. Has a 79 flyout, too.
Like, he's make good contact, but he's never going to be a power guy.
