Jin-Chi was drafted this season as the number three pick in the first round. He was drafted as a 1B and will need to stay there defensively. His stick will back up his position. He looks to develop plus plus power along with excellent contact and already has a great feel for balls and strikes at the plate. He struggles mightily against same handed pitchers. He has the total package. The ceiling is a ML All Star 1B with the floor of a ML starting 1B. He should be able to hit .300 with 40/40 potential. In three or four seasons, look for Jin-Chi in Oklahoma playing 1B.
