Junior Caminero Is An Absolute Star In The Making

here's what I love about Junior cero and this is why he's an absolute star in the making I'm going to take you back to yesterday all right so yesterday he's going up against Bobby Miller a guy that's thrown in the upper 90s he touching a 100 and if you paid attention to what I said on Friday on Jay and Zach I said that Junior Camero has a beautiful swing nice high finish the guy's got just incredible bat speed but he's pulling off the baseball he's toping the ball he's hitting a lot of kind of just slow rollers to the left side of the infield and I said to Zach when Junior cero stays to the middle of the field and starts driving it out to Right Center that was the one thing that I was looking for for junior cero and I didn't necessarily think or know that it was going to happen this week in La against the Dodgers but you look at the first two at bats yesterday against Bobby Miller in that game against the Dodgers and that is the maturation of Junior cero at 21 years young he takes that elevated fast ball out of the Zone 100 mph on a onew count and drives it over the center uh the right center field fence but what happens after that how does he adjust in the next that bat he knows he has that big fast ball Miller hangs a curveball up in the zone does Junior cero pull off the ball no he drives it into right center field for a double to go two for his first two on an elevated fast ball at 100 miles hour hit it for a home run and then not be out on that front foot let the ball travel and smack a curveball in the right center field for a double that excited the hell out of me and I know a lot of race fans agree so today you look forward to today what is going to happen with Junior cero how is he going to follow up that performance that he had in the Rays unfortunate loss well how about three for five with a home run in the ninth inning and here's what impressed me about Junior Camero in tonight's game Camero was up there against the Dodgers closer 3-1 count a pitch clearly off the plate and he was already walking in the first base umpire calls it a strike he's got to get back in the box now some people could be embarrassed in that situation some people could be mentally screwed up and to the point of I can't believe he made that bad call call and it just throws them off for the rest of the atat they're done that is not what Junior cero did he locked back in and then he took a 96 M hour heater and smoked it over the fence in center field he hit it 107.8 miles an hour 418 feet it was a no doubter and that was just it's something that made you get out of bed like honestly ly I was about to go to sleep I took my contacts out I was done for the nights and that young man smoked that 96 mph heater over the uh center field fence and the way that he was able to stay composed in that moment after a terrible call on that 3-1 pitch just shows that this kid is wise Beyond his years you want to talk about a guy that is special or has the chance to be special as we've heard from a lot of people in the ray organization there was a couple examples in the last two days with this kid at the plate and when you go to a place like La the second biggest Market in this country and you're playing against Sho Otani who did what he did last night you have Muki bets you have Freddy Freeman hell Clayton Kershaw was on the mound tonight future first ballot Hall of Famer the lights are about as bright there in LA as anywhere in the country and Hollywood is right around the block and LA right there that's where stars are made and that's why I say junior Camero is an absolute star in the making when the lights shine as bright as they have the last two nights certain players shrivel up certain people shy away from the spotlight not junior he is a guy that has stepped to the forfront and he has proved that he is a guy to keep an eye on for the rest of this year in 2024 and Beyond
