Finding hope in Amed Rosario

Amed Rosario was once a top prospect in the New York Mets organization, ranked as high as No. 3 in all of baseball prior to 2017 by FanGraphs, and No. 2 by MLB Pipeline at the time of his debut.

While he sported a quiet bat through much of his minor-league career, Rosario’s physical maturity exploded in the year prior to getting his call with the Mets, resulting in pure domination of Double-A and Triple-A pitchers.

He finally began to grow into his 6-foot-2 frame and the promising, projectable power he showed as a pre-draft prospect finally began to poke its head out.
