Baker? He's huge

Fabio? I can't see Blaze ever being on the cover of a smut novel.

maybe for the Beer League Softball Calendar ?

Church crushes a home run foul, 111 exit velocity

Walks the next pitch

Church now with 188 PA in AAA and has a .956 OPS. 21 BB-20 K. What more do we need to see?

Much smaller than Baker

Blaze listed 6' 220, which looks accurate. Most of the weight in his torso

Baker listed 6'4 285, which also looks accurate.
