Acuna is still only 19 years old, hes seen three different levels this year alone and is in triple A now. With that said... hes increased his walk rate at every level, decreased his strikeouts, and has hit for more and more power as hes advanced through the system. 

 

A+ - wRC 134

AA - wRC 158

AAA - wRC 182

 

Absolutely absurd.

That was a fantastic AA debut.  But man do I hate this term, and I don't know why.

Yeah I don't know why I used it honestly haha.  Usually would say dealing but I wanted to add a little oomph to it. 

Before people think I'm like 15... I'm 26.

And I got questioned for calling Whitley a top 25 guy a couple months back. 

Senzel - 5 to 8 range

Whitley - 14 to18 range

Bichette - 20 to 25 range

And the phrase shoving has been around a long time in regards to pitching.  I remember hearing it back in the 90's on national broadcasts.

My obvious bias here but I think Whitley's advanced pitchability puts him near or at the top of the SP prospect lists.  I, for one, did not think he was this far along in regards to his pitch mix and command. 

His change up is devastating.
