Belt is 22 and was drafted out of the University of Texas, where he majored in education. There's some huge awesome points right there. He also, according to what Buster Posey says in that article up there, hit ".350" in Fresno last year and should be totally fine. Here's what you need to know about this kid, who, although he's probably starting in Fresno next season, should be ready for the Majors really, really soon. He comes across as so genuine, and I love that.
- Quotes about Belt, from the blog where I found that picture of him.
- Sabean compares Belt to Posey, which really isn't all that surprising.
- Minor League Ball's comparison between Belt and Braves prospect Freddie Freeman. Worth a read.
- Belt is ranked 26th out of MLB.com's Top 50 prospects this year.
