I liked the Zach Gelof comparison you made sometime ago. I think he'll take walks, steal bases, and play a good 2B. In years where he strikes out...
Andrew Taylor had a nice outing for Asheville facing the minimum over 5 innings. He struck out 6 hitters, and the only baserunner he allowed got...
His fastball velocity was down in May, but it has been better in June. Probably the biggest change I can see in his statcast numbers is less...
The Ks are mildly concerning for a guy whose hit tool is supposed to be his calling card. The steals and consistent playing time in CF might...
The Astros have added another pitcher. Nate Wohlgemuth was purchased from an independent league team. The 24 year old made his organizational...
Lol, I noticed that. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 5'10"....
Really nice start for Manzueta. Ariel Lebron hit his first HR of his career in the game as well. He's a Panamanian OF who missed last season...
Procuring pitchers portends possibilities previously not pondered.
Possible pursuits for the pending peddling period: (Geraldo) Perdomo, (Oswald) Peraza, and (Kyren) Paris.
Thats all fair, especially the IL aspect. It seems weird to not have Baez even playing DH if they're working on a position change, it's not like...
Dylan Howard made his professional debut for the FCL Astros this morning, going 1.1 IP 3H 1ER 2BB 1K. He was their 8th round pick in last year's...
His change up seems to be promising playing off the fastball. Lefties have crushed his slider this season, so it's probably going to be critical...
He got the start in CF. That isn't particularly surprising, even Luis Baez played a fair bit of CF in the DSL, but still nice to see. Juan...
Will Bush has been crushing it. Since May 2nd, he's slashing .309/.443/.618 (175 wRC+) with 5 HRs, only one of which has come at the hitter...
As of today, Melton's 2025 average exit velocity is higher than that of Aaron Judge. He is also making elite contact, whiffing a ridiculous 7.5%...
They're very different players for sure. Brutcher is listed at 6'5" 215, and the photos I could find made him look like he still has soom room on...
I agree Sullivan is the top prospect that is clearly dominating his level right now. I've come around on Brutcher as well, and think the short...
I don't think the individual pitch tracking works for the complex leagues, so that really just tells you he struck out looking more than swinging....
Lol pretty sure blindhog has long preceded me here.
It always seems as if the team is less aggressive about promotions than I expect, especially for the young guys. I wouldn't be surprised if Powell...
