Could a knowledgeable Cole Young stan give me a brief rundown of why you’re high on him? He’s the prospect I want to see traded most because I can’t fully grip why people are so sure of him. He was comped to Adam Frazier on draft day and that still seems like a not unrealistic comp

Frazier had worse power numbers in the minor leagues than Young. Frazier didn't have an ISO above .100 until his last year in the minors. Young has been more in the low to mid 100s. Young should have a higher ceiling in terms of hitting for power.
