Felnin Celesten stands in front of the biggest season of his young career. "While Celesten's 2025 wasn't in line with expectations, the 20-year old has tools that remain eye-watering." 🧵

@JacobLarose9 Oh I definitely agree. Disciplined Jackson Merrill would be a different kind of beast!

@LouisAnalysis He’ll get better with age no doubt. About to turn just 23

Having such good barrel control is also one of Merrill’s biggest weaknesses. He knows he can get to them, and chases pitches he shouldn’t.

@chr1spaterakis 👀👀👀

@LouisAnalysis nice, mine is Gavin Williams finishing top 3 in AL CY Young

My 2026 season hot takes: - Jackson Merrill goes 30/30. - Munetaka Murakami hits 40 HR. - Luis Arraez hits over .330 and wins another batting title. - Andrew Painter finishes with a sub-3.25 ERA. - Brady House hits 30 HR and has 5+ OAA & DRS.

@jeremiahjaspon Baseball goes BRRR

@LouisAnalysis what’s the basis for Murakami

@spqr97 If one of these is true I'll be happy

@LouisAnalysis The brady house hot take is wild

@grahambayer108 He has mentioned he wants to run more.

@LouisAnalysis Am I missing something, Merrill has never stole at that pace at any level

@lordlamb2 Absolutely!

@LouisAnalysis Juan Sancez (TOR) ?

Prospects to watch heading into 2026: - Alimber Santa (HOU) - Jefferson Rojas (CHC) - Hayden Alvarez (LAA) - Jorge Quintana (SDP) - Ching-Hsien Ko (LAD) - William Bergolla (CWS) - Justin Gonzales (BOS) - Juneiker Caceres (CLE) - Tyson Neighbors (BAL) Bergolla is a specialist.

@TitanScout70 Thank you sir!

@LouisAnalysis Continued great work Louis

@turzinski50 He’s extremely gifted physically and Dodgers have reportedly worked all offseason to help him generate more loft and bring the GB% down. If true, could be T100 by June.

@LouisAnalysis What’s your thoughts on Ko.. have so many shares but he tends to be a bubble guy and I can’t decide to keep or cut

@MichaelK1487306 He's having a fantastic Spring

@LouisAnalysis How is Brady House performing?

Spring Breakout Notables Special 3/19: - Karson Milbrandt went 3 IP, 0 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 6 K's. - Dylan Campbell went 2-3 w/a HR. - Emmanuel Rodriguez went 2-4 w/a triple. - Denzer Guzman went 2-4 w/a HR. - Wuilfredo Antunez went 2-3 w/a HR. More below 👇

@Jewkobe @jmcammisa There's not that much difference realistically, it was average pre-TJ too.

@jmcammisa @LouisAnalysis Is there a chance the FF ever returns to pre TJ?

Andrew Painter this Spring: - 4.7% BB% ✅ - 29.9% Whiff% ✅ - 29.4% Chase% ✅ - 96.1 MPH vFA ✅ - SL, SW & CH w/Whiff% > 40% ✅ His FF shape remains something to watch. But to say the 22-year old (!) is having a concerning spring feels like a bridge too far.

@HighLevBaseball You’re such a cutie

@LouisAnalysis Option 3: Whatever your heart desires

Thank you for reading! Louis

Turns out these games don't have dedicated Savant data, tried to get as much data as possible from the play-by-play data! Another Spring Breakout Special tomorrow or just mixed into the normal Notables? (4 games Spring Breakout)

@sulik18726 Arnold you’re one of the more baseball purist-followers I have and I respect you for it Please never stop!
