He was 16 yrs old playing against guys in their early 20s, some playing as high as AAA. The quote was "Montero looks like he's playing wiffle ball with these pitchers." He was just so much better than everyone at such a young age that it was ridiculous.
Well, I'm sure you'll get called out for being extremely biased, but I hope you're right. The story reminds me of all the stories about Bryce Harper.
