Spencer Jones has shown striking improvement in his offensive performance, posting a 205 wRC+ in Triple-A, yet his high strikeout rate remains a concern.

Hugo Ekitike is a transfer-scouting Rorschach test: How you view him says everything about how you view the sport. More than any player I can remember, Ekitike somehow both reaffirms and rejects conventional wisdom and scouting biases. He's a physical marvel with glaring physical weaknesses. He's an analytics darling with massive analytical red flags.

A major difference between the analysis here compared what is generally found elsewhere is a probabilistic focus on the distribution of outcomes rather than a single grade or expectation.
