The CANNON on that guy!!!! I get really fired up watching him turn two!! Great weapon in the shift as well. If I may brag a little, I saw a low A game here in Asheville a few years ago that featured Schoop, Manny, and some guy named Russell Wilson.

Percentage of swings at balls in strike zone, 2015 (minimum 300 plate appearances, 260 qualified)

1. Schoop, 81.3 percent

2. Adam Jones, 79.6 percent

3. Marlon Byrd, 79.4 percent

4. Avisail Garcia, 78.4 percent

5. Carlos Gomez, 77.2 percent

MLB avg: 64.4 percent

contact made on batted balls within the strike zone had a 91 mph exit velocity (and .300/.502 batting average/slugging percentage), while contact made outside the zone had just an 83.2 mph exit velocity (.188/.263 batting/slugging).
But the power is real, we know that, considering his average distance of 231.2 was longer than that of Bryce Harper's, and he's already shown a capacity to improve.
