Made, Pena Reasonable expectations

[jay87shot]

What are reasonable expectations for Made and Pena or any other DSL standouts (Anderson, Ortuna, Quintana) for next year? It seems like everyone is going crazy with Made right now with Chourio comps..

Luis Lara hit .286/.373/.356 30 sb in 2023, I think that would be a solid goal for Pena and Made. Hopefully a little more power. Yophery did fine last year and I would be ok with that from either of them. I just feel like the Made rocket ship is getting unrealistic with him jumping so high only playing in the Dominican, it seems like if he doesn't hit .300 with 20 bombs the season will be a disappointment. If Anderson and Ortuna (and others)can follow Di Turro and get to A ball after 20 games or so in rookie ball that would be nice, hopefully play a little better than Flippipo did after the promotion.

Even Di Turi’s A-ball results look better in context. Among players from the 2023 IFA class who saw 100 plate appearances in low-A and had a wRC+ of 110 or better, almost every one is at minimum on the fringes of top 100 consideration: Francisca, Tait, Duno, Yophery, Franklin Arias. The exception is Guardians first base prospect Luis Marenjo. Dodgers top 10 prospect Eduardo Quintero had a similar wRC+ to Di Turi’s. Starlyn Caba was worse. The Braves called five members of their 2023 IFA class up to low-A and all were worse. It isn’t easy to succeed at that level for guys that age.

I was really excited about Di Turi. Apparently part of his struggle will be extremely low exit velocities. We know that will be less of a problem for Peña and is a complete non-concern for Made.
