Mark Vientos had an unbelievable season. He's been great in the two hole. Another three rabies last night. Heart, what do you think of Vientos in that to whole? I tell you he's made a difference, they're given that offensive but they're starting to hit more as a team, the last week or so. But he's been a big part of it for sure, you know, and he's come a long ways, come farther than anybody in the organization thought he would. I think this quickly, you know, he would look like he might be kind of an old enough and Guy long swing tend to pull a lot of strikeouts last year. His first real taste of major league pitching but he's you know he really went after After in the winter of started, you worked on his plate discipline he's short and quick in the swing a little bit and now he looks like a legit you know, top of the line up hitter I mean he's got an 8 95 o PS which I just looked it up is higher than Bryce Harper higher than Freddie Freeman. He hasn't played a full year but he's playing a full half a season 80 games. So I, it looks like it's legit, you know. He's not striking out as much. He's walking more. It looks like he could be a star in the making. I mean, it's hard to believe that this is the same guy that the previous administration, just had no confidence in last year. Never gave him a chance to say. Buck. Ya borrow Billy eppler, you know, that's what I mean the previous administration there, but yeah, every time he came up, they just wouldn't give him a chance and now he's getting a chance and then which the word you keep coming up, the kids coming up with an is maturity at as much as we love the guys power and you can hit 400 feet and is probably the biggest power bat with Alonso on the team for sure. Is that right there is fighting off that pitch with the infield end to drive in those Insurance runs cited, hundreds of miles an hour up, right? Exactly, but I mean, I think that shows that he's not just Just a power guy, now, absolutely maturity at the plate, that he's shown. And I think that's a big credit to guys like j.d. Martinez, and Francisco Lindor, who've really helped bring him along Beltran. He made at conversation Beltran turned into more of a oil field separator. Yeah. And that's what you need in the number two spot because, you know, you're talking about the number two spot guys, obviously is reserved for the team's quarter quote, best hitter. That's what Mark viette, those has become, which is crazy to think about based on where we were with him last year. But you mentioned JD and there wasn't really a clear. For Vientos at the very beginning of the season and now it seems like he's a key figure for them and a pivotal figure for them on their offense. I think consistency stands out to me. I was going to mention maturity as well, the quality of contact metrics or tremendous, he's smashing against left-handed pitching and with that lineup. I mean, you need that fire power up at the top and it seems like he's going to stay hitting second. Yeah, it look the one thing consistently and Dave, I think you bring up an excellent point, it does go to show you that they don't know sometimes and then we take what they're doing. Like the signs would Vientos the one thing he did consistently was hit the ball hard. We've always heard about exit vilho eggs. Evil. Oh but he didn't have a position to play and as a young kid you can't play Third. You can't play first legitimately swing and Miss wall, right? A lot of swing and Miss, they didn't really give them an opportunity to your point. Dave, whether it's the last regime, you know, buck and all that. We heard about that. Well we wouldn't want to play the young kids and then even this year, the and then I was definitive and I was dead wrong about Vientos based on all those different things that we heard and saw even they should they brought in j.d. Martinez because they didn't want to give you In toasted opportunity. But to his credit ARB he went down, he matured and he's got an opportunity. Now, he's been terrific and don't forget even when it JD wasn't ready to start. The yeah, Frank is on the roster. They want to DJ Stewart, to take a lot of the DH at bats and stuff. So he, you're right Sal. I mean, sometimes organizations are wrong about guys I don't I think they saw the potential but they didn't see this guy as a sure thing. Otherwise he would have been here at the start of the
