I'm really interested to see where Mena will be on midseason lists if he keeps dominating like this. His K rate will be in the mid 30s% after tonight's start. Doing that as a 19 year old in Kanny is so impressive.

I think it's really encouraging how comfortable he seems to be throwing the breaking stuff. And he throws strikes. The fastball sits around 92 MPH per the broadcast, but it sure seems like he has the frame to add size and some velocity. Baseball America's scouting report notes as much.

Sosa walking more, striking out less, and hitting for more power is an interesting development.

Funny since he has way less eyes and fanfare this year. He always seems to adjust.

definitely nice having more young prospects where we see them improve through their promotions, not just atrophy level by level after dominating great falls like the Hostetler college drafts.

Lenyn Sosa in 23 games at the pitchers park in AA has 4 HRs and a .936 OPS while being fairly young for AA (22 years old). The guy has always adjusted and hit. I saw the fangraphs prospect rankings that questioned his athleticism and ability to stay at SS. Regardless, it's exciting to see the guy do this well. Seems like he'll have a future as a utility player, at least.
