Blue Jays top prospect Gabriel Moreno is an uncommon talent who, if you ask those who know him best, would likely hold his own at the game’s highest level today. By: ArdenZwelling
Well, sure, nothing wrong with a concise statement like that. But what does Moreno do well in particular?
“Watching him take batting practice every day, it’s funny,” Castillo says, shaking his head. “A lot of homers. So many homers. I don’t think he’s trying to hit homers. I think he’s just trying to hit the ball to the opposite side. But they’re homers. He’s very good. Like I said, he’s a big-league hitter. That’s it.”
Those Cardenales teams were littered with veteran Venezuelan big-leaguers such as Alberto Callaspo, Jose Tabata, Gorkys Hernandez, and Ildemaro Vargas. Castillo watched Moreno, one of the league’s youngest players, hang with all of them. Two years ago, at 20, Moreno slashed .373/.471/.509 over 18 games. This past winter, still rusty after spending his summer on the injured list, he posted a .758 OPS and walked as many times as he struck out.
