My Take
Nelson Velazquez interests me as the kind of player whose game lives and dies by power. A Puerto Rican outfielder and designated hitter, he's bounced from the Cubs to the Royals to the Cardinals, and that journey tells me a story I see often: a hitter with real thump who teams keep betting on, hoping the contact catches up to the raw strength. Born in late 1998, he's still young enough that the book isn't written. I'm curious whether he settles in as a steady middle-of-the-order bat or stays a streaky boom-or-bust option. Either way, the upside keeps him in the conversation.
