Rendon's bat is fast and he starts his motion early giving him a head start.

So you have a guy with a better eye, better power, better contact rate, and better swing than a guy who would have been #1 overall in most years (Alex Gordon). His numbers are better all across the board vs Gordon's and he has a better swing as well.
The only real question mark with Rendon is his ankle. Hes now injured it seriously TWICE. It could mean hes an injury prone player or that'll it will take away from his defense if it continues to be a problem. Hopefully, this, along with the contract demands, will scare the Pirates away.
You endorse George Springer Doc... His contact rate is worse than the average college player.. The upside is high, but he is epitome of high risk, high reward. Its too much of a reach at #2 IMO unless his contact rates improve drastically this next season.
