FWIW, last year Goldstein was ranked the No. 1 HS prospect in NY by BlueChipProspects.com... LINK
They describe him as a "legitimate 5-tool player, runs extremely well, 88-90+ mph fastball"
For anyone who doesn't know what "5-tool" means, here's a breakdown:
1. Hits for power (.497 slugging)
2. Hits for average (.345 average)
3. Plus speed (15 stolen bases)
4. Plus arm (90+ mph fastball)
5. Plus fielding (2 errors)
In the history of the MLB, there have been few other legitimate 5-tool players. Examples include A-Rod, Barry Bonds, and Ken Griffey Jr.
I think it's a pretty even matchup. Oh yea, and he's still just a freshman.
