Soto was 155 on draft day, but according to scouts and coaches has put on about 15-20 pounds in the year since he’s been drafted. 6’4, 170-175 is still ridiculously skinny, but he’s only 19 so he could definitely add some more weight and is tall enough to get a lot of leverage on a fastball or any kind of pitch with downward motion. He seems like a long shot now with his velocity sitting in the high 80′s, but his ground ball rate is around 60% and his body is very projectable.

Dodger’s AAA team plays in Albuquerque now not Vegas. Your point still stands though since it’s a hitter’s park.

Giovanni Soto is actually skinnier than elite distance runners. A standard size for the top runners is 5’10″, 140 pounds. Soto is damn skinny!

I think you mean Scott Podsednik to the Dodgers.
