It’s a nice swing. Very direct to the ball

It’s a nice swing. Very direct to the ball I agree. The swing stood out to me. Quick through the zone and I like the general swing plane. Also the arm looks to be above average. I like they will give him time on and off the dirt. I’m thinking long term 3B or RF.

I’m glad to add some righty pop to the system. Sounds like he’ll have some good positional flexibility too. Hopefully hit bat is legit. Have to like his track record in events

From video of his interview scrum:
"The last few minutes it was between the Nationals and Red Sox. My floor went up, so that kind of turned the Nationals off, after [the Nats pick at] #40, that’s when I knew I’d be drafted by the Red Sox."

Sounds like the Sox might have offered more than slot at 40 then if I'm reading this right

Swing reminds me a little of Mookie with the hands pre-swing and acceleration.

Some clips and an interview. Throws 98 from the OF, can make chicken and rice. "BP at the National Showcase! Nazzan Zanetello joins Dani Wexelman on PG WEEKLY!"

Already has a flair for the dramatic.

Pick 40 slot value 2.14 mil vs pick 50 slot value of 1.70 mil. One would conjecture about 500,000 above slot or so.

Can't believe no one has said this yet. Teenage Mutant Ninja Shortstop. Him and Rafaela would make a good tandem

Don’t forget who the Nationals drafted with their first pick. They may need to go over slot there and at a minimum need to go full slot. Btw it would have been nice had Chaim not screwed up last year by being just over the tax to have all that extra money and higher picks in a deep class. I know it’s a dead horse but it deserves to be beaten until he builds a great team and farm system.
