Fastball and slider, up or down lol I do not watch too many White Sox games so not sure if this is always the way he is.
His hr was an 0-2 pitch high out of the strike zone.

Eloy has started to put together a couple of good games! He looks sharp out there.

Eloy having a very good season so far IMO especially on the slugging side. He is one of my top 5 players! Hope he keeps it up!

He is so overlooked right now when it comes to young stars. He has 7 HRs already and missed time.

Eloy feels like an afterthought.
There have been so many prospects over the last 18 months with new ones joining teams almost daily this season that Eloy feels like a grizzled veteran.

Huge Eloy fan here but let's face it, the hobby only holds up the new young guy...and Trout. Even last year Eloy wasn't the top expensive guy of the class. It was Tatis, Alonso Vlad then Eloy. Keston snuck in there too. Sadly since he does not steal bases and have good defense he will slowly sink to Jose Abreu status probably. Maybe Albert Pujols. Look where he is hobby wise. Of course that all depends on him continuing to produce offensively.

I feel like the Sox are a pitcher or two away from being perennial playoff contenders. If they start winning and getting more spotlight his hobby love will go up.

.260. Very few .290 hitters with power left in baseball.

Devers is a .290 hitter? Altuve is a power hitter?

Define power hitter... 40+? 35+? 20+?...
Devers last year hit 32 HR and batted .311.
Altuve hit 31 HR last year and batted .298.

Any other questions?

They did. This year there are some new guys too.
Happ, Winker, T. Hernandez are just a few. Will they sustain it? Don’t know. Some of the guys in that list are struggling bad. This year is weird.

Are we selling or buying? Sell the Cubs stuff for sure right? Did his Debut get pumped yet? Or is #670 the king?

His S2 “rookie” sucks. Follow thru cards = GARBAGE! His Rookie Debut is the business, though. Goble those up immediately. Swinging RD is the the true rookie.
