So what do we have in Blake Swihart?
On one hand, he looks like an outfielder in the batter's box and running the bases. He's also hit a lot of line drives. He got close to a homer at one point. He's thrown out "only" 5 out of 20 base-stealers, but the throws have been strong and it looks like that can be a part of his game over time. You can tell why he's such a highly regarded talent.
On the other hand, he's struck out a ton, and looks generally overmatched when it comes to approach.
Is anyone worried about this early promotion stunting Blake's development at the plate long-term? Or is the consensus that he should be ok?
