At the low end Mitchell is Brandon Nimmo and on the high end he is Grady Sizemore for potential.  I am not sure he ever gets to his full potential so a little bit better than Nimmo is probably where Mitchell ends up. 

Pretty good comps. The intriguing thing is that he's where he is right now with large chunks of time taken out of his development track.

Yeah, that's what has me feeling optimistic. He's still "only" played 268 professional games, 111 of which have been in the big leagues. There's still development in there. At this point, he's Kevin Kiermaier, which is great. But if he can play D like Kiermaier and hit like Nimmo, he's a perennial all-star.
