Sweet Name!! Maybe another diamond in the rough that was found by Clark through the Draft but time will till if he can become a legit prospect over the next couple years

I almost don't want him to succeed
because if he does I’ll have to learn to spell his name. You can only use RSF so much.

I actually found his name pretty easy to remember. I’ve had a much harder time with some other players with less complex names.

Yeah
“Pete Orr” was such a pain in the ass to remember.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

These stats are incredible
According to this site, RSF played 237 games for Danville in 2009, and batted an inhuman 3.611!! Every ball he hit, three baseballs materialized from his magical swing and dropped safely. And with a SLG of 8.722, that means every one of these baseballs landed for a double, triple, and a homer!
Take the 10 greatest hitters of all time, add their OPS together. I’m pretty sure they don’t equal out to 11.030. Roughly, every time RSF hits the ball, he collects 11 bases. Incredible.
Screw Heyward, screw Pujols, RSF is the new god.

He’s South African? The Braves seem to have cornered the market on guys who speak a form of Dutch.

Cause we have a Dutch fan.
