I don't think Elly has a billion dollar ability. He's exciting but I agree he is more likely to have high highs and the lowest of lows. Could steady himself or he could turn into Joey Gallo.
I think the first billion dollar player will be a prospect who has A-Rod level hype, debuts at 18 and is a complete monster by the time he hits free agency at 25. A-Rod had already won a batting title, four silver sluggers and was coming off a 10.4 WAR season when he hit free agency. I could see a billion dollar contract for a guy like that come 2030. It was just too soon for Soto.
