Prospect Roundtable: The Book on Cal Mitchell

Cal Mitchell exceeded his prospect eligibility, then was sent back down to the minors. In multiple trips to the majors this year, Mitchell has a .204/.241/.336 line in 137 at-bats.

When a player exceeds his prospect eligibility, we run a Prospect Roundtable where we break down what to expect from his career moving forward.

Below is The Book on Cal Mitchell.

Mitchell is always someone who I thought would make the majors, but I was never fully sold on him having starter potential. He always showed a solid average and mid-level power, so I figured the bat would be the carrying tool.
