MiLB and BR have Nunez's age at 23 (born March 9, 2001), which of course makes his development even more promising. However, it's a little concerning that in 114 PAs since the start of July (his hot month), he has only 3 HRs and his rate stats seem to be heavily driven by a .377 BAbip (lots of singles finding grass). Plus his breakout month only consisted of 77 PAs.
I'm really rooting for Nunez (after having visited Cuba, I have a special affinity for Cuban players), but my optimism after reading the article was tempered when I started looking a little deeper (despite being encouraged when seeing his actual age, assuming MiLB and BR are the correct sources for that).
Always root for the Latin players! I have never been to Cuba, but several acquaintances have. They say that it is just awful there. None of the things that people in most countries take for granted: toilet paper for example. I too always wish the best for the Cuban players (and the Venezualan players0.
You couldn't have known it, but his age was already updated five minutes before your comment went up. I pointed it out to Anthony because I wanted to share a tweet about the article and Ryan posting. He's a good guy, so I like seeing him still sticking with it, even if it's just the occasional article

Yeah when I looked up his numbers the ISO was off putting. His numbers reminded me a lot of another guy I used to check in on: Jake Lamb.

Thanks, and I agree on wanting Ryan to stick with it.
Sorry guys…math is hard.
I got a pile of carrots to give out today, but it's week 1 of the Premiership, so I'll be busy until this afternoon.
