Woo-Bin Cho

Post by TimTheTechies »

As I expected, Woo-Bin Cho has quietly worked his way into the Top 30. He has performed very well at Double-A, posting a .994 OPS in approximately 100 plate appearances with a strikeout-to-walk ratio below 2.0. He also appears to be a good fielder and a capable base stealer. So far, so good.

To illustrate how the farm system has changed- 2 years ago Won-Bin Cho was the Cardinals #10 ranked prospect by MLB Pipeline.

To be fair, that was following his A ball season when he had a .765 OPS. He’s had a couple disappointing years in a row until this season. It’s been a really nice breakout year though, similar to Baez last season.

His walk rate is elite. Also cutting down on K'd this year. All about getting to his pullside power though. I said a few years ago that he probably has the highest ceiling in the whole organization and I thinknit might still be true. Imagine a lefthanded Jordan Walker with a better batting eye. Contact rates are a little low but his ability to take walks iffsets it

I'm just really excited to see the development of these kids under C. Bloom/R. Cerfolio's now fully instituted player development system that is giving these kids (FINALLY!) all the technological advances other teams minor leaguers have had for some time.

LOL...back of the Kool-aid dude. They haven't won a thing and I don't see a bright future yet either. I don't give a rat's #$$ about developing players that are years away. I want a competitive team in St Louis now.

You do realize all of the successful teams have great development systems and the reason the cardinals haven’t had competitive teams because mo tanked the development system for a win now in St. Louis right? So you are advocating for a tried and failed and proven disastrous strategy

there was a Palm Beach announcer back in 2022 who was rather clownish, colorful...and liked to nickname everyone...I liked him :mrgreen:

his nickname/saying for Cho was : Don't Ya Know Won-bin Cho...that always stuck with me when he gets a hit.

We saw him taking BP at spring training one year around that time. Boy was lining balls off the base of the OF wall.
