Social Media Reacts To Signing
Here’s what people were saying about the signing:
@MattPowers31: “Cade Doughty was a 2nd round pick in 2022 out of LSU with all five tools as average to above and versatility. Things haven’t quite worked out so far as a pro with a bit more strikeouts than expected, but he did have a promising small sample showing in the AFL last fall. Well worth a free shot on a guy with some talent”
@StatsFarm: “Cade Doughty was a 2022 2nd round selection by TOR out of LSU, signed for $833k. He’s spent a lot of time on the IL, but has hit .239 with 33 HRs over 1100+ABs”
@WTDBraves2021WS: “The Braves have signed Cade Doughty , he was just released by the Bluejays , went to college at LSU and was a 2C pick (78) in 2022 .249/.316./.706 OPS in his career Was hitting .250/.317/.683 OPS in 37 AA games , he’s been assigned to Rome .”
