Future Legends Friday 6 (+1)!
Good evening! We have three new Future Legends that came out yesterday, plus an extra card to celebrate a pretty cool milestone!
The players are:
97 OVR FLF 6 - Future Legend SP Trey Yesavage, TOR 2026
84 OVR FLF 6 - Future Legend SP River Ryan, LAD 2026
79 OVR FLF 6 - Future Legend 1B Charlie Condon, COL 2026
45 OVR 1st Mexican Born Player - Snapshot CF Mel Almada, WS1 1937
Charlie Condon got a sky-high EYE rate that definitely stands out, especially on a silver. In fact, it's the highest EYE in the game, topping Max Bishop. This was done in response to some discussion on how relatively unimpressive BB rates have been for even the top EYE guys with Bishop's totals really underscoring the relatively modest output (11-12% BB; for context Bishop was at 20% for his career). I think I'm just not using enough of the EYE scale to get those standout BB totals we see from special EYE guys like Ted, Soto, Votto, and Bishop. And 6 pts ahead over Bishop won't fix this, but it's the first step in expanding the EYE range. Could push into the 200s of EYE with one of the mega-studs in the near future. Note that EYE is the only stat I'm making an adjustment like this on.
Mel Almada jumped into this set as the first ever Mexican-born player to play in MLB! He played 7 seasons with Boston, Brooklyn, St. Louis, and his card team, the Washington Senators -- the one that became the Twins. Perhaps he'll pop up elsewhere soon!
