I've not yet watched any of his AB's on TV/Youtube. I am intrigued.

The Athletic's Jim Bowden:
MLB Futures Game primer: The top 10 hitters Jim Bowden can’t wait to watch
5. Robert Hassell III, OF, Padres
Age: 20
2022 stats (High A): .309/.386/.483 slash line
2B: 16 3B: 1 HR: 9 RBI: 47 SB: 19
Hassell is my favorite hitter for average in this year’s Futures Game. He reminds some of a young Christian Yelich, whose power appeared later in his career, and I think the same will happen for Hassell. In the meantime, I love that he can hit high velocity on either side of the plate and his special ability to use the whole field. He also does a good job of staying back on secondary pitches. I look forward to seeing if he has adjusted his launch angle.
