Social Media Reacts To Southisene’s Hot Start
Here’s what people have been saying about Southisene:
@BravesMattC: “Southisene is on pace to steal 111 bases this season. He won’t even turn 20 years old until after the end of the season.”
@gvedak: “It’s May 19th and Tate Southisene has 29 stolen bases. He’s got an .897 OPS to go with that as well. Just a really good start of the season for the first round pick who looks like a completely different player than the one during that short, surprising stint last year”
