It's a different era, so K rates are higher, but do you Brett Butler as a comparable? He's got the ~10% BB rate of Butler in his 20s. Butler of course walked more than he K'd over his career, but I could see Young's K rate maybe dropping to a well below league average level like 13%. Current league average is ~23%, so his 17% is pretty good. Steals will be a big part of his game. Young is good defensively, but so was Butler up to his early 30s.
