Like Guerrero, Bichette doesn’t lift or pull the ball as much as you’d think given his swing, so there’s more game power to tease out of his approach, and we think he’ll trade some contact to do that.

Lowe went 10th, Lewis went 11th, Benson went 14th, Kiriloff went 15th, Rizzo went 50th, Jones went 55th, and Alonso went 64th; Bichette went 66th. The other variable was the career of Bichette’s little brother, Dante Jr., whom the Yankees took 51st overall in 2011.

Bichette’s own father, Dante Bichette, wasn’t in their class as a player, but in addition to getting off to a faster start than both in the home run department, Bo has outhit both Vlad Jr. (.272/.356/.466, 117 wRC+) and Biggio (.210/.332/.371, 91 wRC+), and outdone them in WAR (1.0, to Guerrero’s 0.8 and Biggio’s 0.6).

Bichette got the short end of the stick even from this group, despite having the most defensive value, a pro lineage from his father Dante, solid game performance, and close to, if not as much raw power as all of them. Ultimately, it probably doesn’t matter where he ends up playing defense because his bat is likely to profile. Alphonse Dante Bichette Jr. (born September 26, 1992) is a Brazilian-American professional baseball third baseman and first baseman who is currently a free agent. Bichette is playing shortstop now but likely will not at higher levels, with second base the most likely fit. Bichette was born in Orlando, Florida, in 1992.

In 283 professional plate appearances, former big-league slugger Dante Bichette’s rapidly rising son is slashing .396/.456/.656. The damage he did in Rookie ball last year — which led to an 1.182 OPS over 22 games — is largely being replicated in Low-A Lansing. I saw lots of ugly swings and misses, and poor contact. Lowe went 10th, Lewis went 11th, Benson went 14th, Kiriloff went 15th, Rizzo went 50th, Jones went 55th, and Alonso went 64th; Bichette went 66th.Many teams didn’t take him seriously as a top-two-round prospect, partly souring after his brother busted with a similar swing, but Bo has rare bat and body control along with good enough pitch selection to make his approach work, something his older brother did not. Bichette…doesn’t.We hoped you liked reading Dante Bichette’s Unbelievable 1999 Season by Paul Swydan!so about 2 players per season met the criteria. Where’s the beef? Just 12 months after Bo Bichette’s draft free fall, scouts still pointed to Dante Jr.’s career and Bo’s loud swing mechanics as the reasons they missed on Bo so badly. Where it differs however, is that while Hawpe posted a similar wOBA and Fld score, he produced that wOBA in a different offensive environment, and as a result his wRC+ was a much more robust 121, giving him at least something on which to hang his hat. With your membership, we can continue to offer the content you've come to rely on and add to our unique baseball coverage.I remember talking with some scouts in 2015 who only got on Bichette, Kiriloff, and Rizzo at end of a summer of positive performance because their swings were of the aforementioned type, the kind scouts didn’t want to like until it was proven that they should.Bichette is going to begin his pro career at shortstop, but he’s very unlikely to stay there for too long. That seems reasonable to me. He has scintillating bat speed, and Bichette’s hand-eye coordination and bat control are an effective foil for the garage band noisiness of his swing, which hasn’t negatively impacted his ability to make contact in pro ball.
How many did you expect?We see Hawpe’s 2008 season on the list, and that season seems the most similar to Bichette’s 1999 campaign. Dante had a similar-looking swing and similarly solid amateur performance; he played the infield and by draft day 2016 was in Double-A, one full season of plate appearances from being out of baseball. He has exceptional bat speed and above-average raw power, but each time I saw him as an amateur he struggled to keep his eccentric swing under control.
Ideally, Bichette will start lifting the ball more often (he has a league-average ground ball rate right now) and turn some of these doubles into homers, but it’s hard to justify making a change when he has been wildly successful so far.

Status quo Bo is still a doubles machine who probably stays on the infield, and is a likely All-Star.We hoped you liked reading Called Up: Bo Bichette by Kiley McDaniel!I was skeptical of Bichette pre-draft.
