From stats and watching
So 5 sites I just looked at have Barger 2, 2, 4, 4, 4, 6. So avg just better than 4th. I'm actually a little lower than that. His swing to me is more of a Bo Bichette violent swing and Biggio's overly high launch angle and upper cut. Should be a great low ball hitter, but seems he could be bad in the upper part of the zone. That hole and possible platoon risk have me down at 4 for him. I think he becomes more of a full utility type of bat, but 2B could be his down the line. More of a needing to show more confirmation of the changes he made and that he can do it vs good pitchig consistently. I really didnt like his AZ Fall league numbers, but SSS. The big shift is whether he keeps his K% under 30% or goes back up over 30%
With Palmegiani, this is part of what I have in his writeup
Damiano was an above average player at A Ball (141 wRC+) and A+ (116 wRC+) as a 22 year old. Damanio paired good exit velocities (87.4 avg and 109.2 max) at Dunedin with great launch angles (18 degrees) to help produce his home runs. The drop off between A and A+ production was fueled by an abnormally low BABIP (0.239) given the rest of his metrics remained relatively the same including his BB%, K%, LD%, GB%, FB%, and hits to pull, center, and oppo
Pretty much everything was the same between A and A+ except the BABIP, which I think is more of a clear bad luck type scenario
Just naturally if Palmegiani continues with the 10+ BB% and 20 K%, the ability to hit the ball hard and often should see his AVG come up
I think the biggest difference I had from most was Rainer Nunez. Most have him unranked or sub 25th
