As Curiel.

He has the demeanor of a killer and just looks like he knows exactly what he is doing at all times.

Kid is what 18? What till this guy catches up to that frame and becomes a man.

Flat out stud.

Mature is definitely the word that comes to my mind when I see him. It’s impressive.

He’s 19 but who’s counting. He’s not John Pearson old but he’s older than most freshmen

Let’s let the season play out, but he’s up there with:

Todd Walker (hit .400+)
Bregman
Crews

Funny, I didn’t realize that. He looks like a younger freshman (I mean physically, not his play obviously).

Seriously,

He could absolutely be the lynchpin that helps us win another title.

He isn’t nervous at all against any pitcher.

That confidence is contagious.

His composure for a freshman is out of this world

I don’t disagree with you but I think we are discounting how good of a freshman year Monster had last year.

I think history we be very kind to Milam. Just my opinion

The barrel of his bat stays in the hitting zone for a long time... love his swing.

Last year we were told by an esteemed baseball poster that Milan’s upside was only that of a utility infielder on a good team.

He plays like he knows he’s the most talented player on the field. Main character kinda shite. I like it.

Curiel absolutely reminds me of todd walker. Similar swing plane and never going out of zone. Never maximized power but OBP machines.

Milan is a stud in his own right but this guy Curiel has the look of a big time major leaguer one day.
And All SEC for minimum 3 years kind of guy.

Way ahead of myself here but he just has the it about him.
