How good is Yanier Diaz?????

Just to quote before we start I think Yanier is good and is going to be way better than maldy would be for us but there are some issues he has that he needs to work on

So I’ve been thinking about Yanier a lot lately and he has the most boom or bust potential in MLB next year. Like he has good power but he had like 10 walks last season. I don’t think he’s going to have the same power season he did last year if he doesn’t improve his plate discipline cause pitchers will just pitch around him and he’ll just strikeout. Also on defense he’s got an absolute cannon but his framing is horrible. Honestly this is something I think will improve over a few years unlike his defense. If anything we got a Salvador Perez clone on our hands who hits 25 homers every year and walks 15 times with awful framing but a cannon for an arm

Anyways what is a successful season for Yanier cause I really don’t know what to project for him next year with his awful plate discipline and below average framing
