MLB.com writes of him, “Triantos’ bat-to-ball skills from the right side of the plate have prompted comparisons to Alex Bregman and David Wright.”

Well the player he was in high school was incredible and in a 25-game sample in 2021 in the minors, it was just the same old story and same old talent we’d been reading about.

“I’d say that it’s a process of getting better it’s not one day to the next results based,” he said. “Just focusing on what
