Physical Stature, Player Comparison
If Moncada did not have a career in baseball, he could probably hold his own on a football field. The second baseman stands at 6’2″, 205 lbs. Experts have often linked Moncada comparisons to Robinson Cano but with more speed, and it is easy to see why. Cano stands at 6’0″, 210 lbs, but was never a true base stealing threat.
Moncada currently has 8 SB in 28 games in Triple-A. Over a full season, that translates to roughly 46 stolen bags. Obviously it will be harder to steal as often in the Majors, but the speed Moncada possesses is evident. He has a legitimate chance to be a 30/30 player, maybe even a 40/40 player. It will also be a common sight to see Moncada stretch a double into a triple with relative ease. You know what they say…speed kills.
