Eagles ball? The dude is 6'7 and has raked in the minors. Why has it taken this long to get his shot? I will bet you its some of your "metrics".

He didn't really produce for a low defense corner position player until recently. It took him until 2015 to get to AAA. Most guys who don't get to AAA until they are 27 are never going to be this good in the majors.

He never had power like this in the minors - 11 HR total in a full season of play at AAA in 2016, 10 in 2015, 4 in a half season of high A in 2014, 6 in a full season of AA in 2013, etc. He hit .285/.342/.371 in AA as a 25 year old corner position player in 2013. The average player like this will never even play a major league game.

A huge, huge switch flipped for this guy when he went to the Royals AAA team in 2015. And another flipped in or before March 2017. It's like he started taking the greatest steroids on earth or suddenly figured it out.
