First of all he's not Canadian. He's from Cuba. Second, i know it's a small sample size but he was pretty impressive in his brief MLB experience in 2018.

Last year he was able to play in 65 games and slashed a solid .281/.309/.446, adding 11 home runs, eight doubles, and 35 RBI in 249 at bats. He also broke the MLB record for consecutive multi-hit games, and took a serious run at the all-time record.

His potential is off the charts, and with a rocket of an arm he could be a plus shortstop as long as he can harness his many tools.

I didn't know about the multi hit games run. That is pretty impressive. All I know about him is from the scouting reports I have read. I just remember he didn't even start the year on MLB.com top 100 and all reports were indicating his brother was the better player.

A hype video with no in game footage. Can't be a good sign.

I'm sorry, does anyone really care about this game? They are a horrible 0-for-2 and I see nothing that indicates that they will even put wood on the ball for this this version of the game. If I feel the need to play R.B.I., I simply load up my emulator and play the nes version.
