Torkelson is now crushing A ball. He should be in AA shortly.

People have been very excited about this guy since the moment Toronto signed him.

I just listened to the Baseball-America Top 100 podcast, and to say they love Gabriel Moreno would be an understatement:

 

Josh Norris: "Without question the best reviews of any player I've gotten in the entire minor leagues this year, and probably in a while, has been Gabriel Moreno. That guy based on what I'm what I'm hearing from scouts has the word 'stud' written on him in 72 pt font all capitalized, underlined and bolded. I think right now he's the #1 prospect in the Blue Jays system. He can hit, he can hit for power, he has aptitude and attitude, and he can play on both sides of the ball. He can throw, he can defend. There are some fine points of his game that need to be ironed out. They're certainly minor at this point. But the scouts coming out of there (and these are not Blue Jays scouts) are extraordinarily high on this young man.

 

JJ Cooper: "So what is it that stands out?"

 

Josh Norris: "Everything. People are going in there and saying this is a major league ready product right now"

 

JJ Cooper: "So is he big league ready defensively"

 

Josh Norris: "Yeah. He can block, he can throw, he can receive. But right now he needs to work on commanding a pitching staff. That might be the biggest issue at this point but that will come with time. I bet you see him in the big leagues this year. We had him on the fringes of the Top 100 before. And he's all the way up in the 30s. And he'll probably make an even bigger jump in the next update"

 

Goes on to say that he hasn't kept a rostered a minor leaguer on his fantasy team just to keep him away from other people since Fernando Tatis Jr. lol

Sem Robberse:

 

4-Seamer: 91-94 mph, 2600 rpm max

Curveball: 81-84, 2600 rpm max,

Uhhhh this is insane. Wow.

[Daniel Labude]

Orelvis Martinez was 3-6 with a 1B, 2B, and 3B last night and 1-4 with a HR tonight

 

Orelvis HRs again tonight in the first. A 3 run shot off Joey Wentz

[Eat My Shatkins]

Nice to see guys like Martin and Orelvis heating up. Now we need Groshans to get going too.

[THANOS]

People have been very excited about this guy since the moment Toronto signed him.

 

Anyone know how his stuff is? Is he a pitch-ability guy or a stuff guy?

[THANOS]

Sem Robberse:

Curveball: 81-84, 2600 rpm max,

 

Thanks!

[Scion]

I'd settle for Groshans making it the whole season without a significant injury. Games played is going to be more significant for his development this year.

[Angrioter]

Groshans smell to bust. Kid can't stay healthy.

[InvincibleTiger]

Moreno 3-4, HR, BB

[Laika]

Moreno 3-4, HR, BB

 

Top 10 prospect MLB wide

[metafour]

He hit another double.

 

4 for 5, HR, 2 2B, BB

 

Disgusting.

[Ray]

 

[Dr. Dinger]

This kid is looking like Ivan Rodriguez, JFC

[Slade]

Moreno just f***ing nuts, 4-5 with 2 Doubles, 1 HR, 1BB 3 RBI hitting .398 for the season.

 

Feels good actually having a functional pipeline.

[THANOS]

Orelvis Martinez had a 28.1 K% before this game, and proceeded to strike out 3 more times in 5 ABs.

 

Maybe he's not the wunderkind prospect we were led to believe.

 

All this said, he is 19 in Low A. So it's not too late to correct things.

I don't think he has ever been billed as a wunderkind. Solid prospect but not a franchise guy

[THANOS]

I may be wrong, but I thought some BA (or other major prospect publications) writers compared him to Adrian Beltre. That's a wunderkind type of player imo.

[Krylian]

I hate that farm systems have been essentially slashed in half. I'm still not used to it. Feels like something is wrong missing all the short season ball.

He's 19 and has a 110 wRC+ lol. He's doing fine, right on track.

Short season ball would not have started yet anyway.

He has a really solid year so far. Just starting to get in his first hot streak with a 2B, 3B, 1B, and 2HRs in his last 3 games

[Krylian]

Short season ball would not have started yet anyway.

 

I know. And it's not going to. That's the part that bothers me.

[Daniel Labude]

132 ABs, .258 AVG, .782 OPS, 11 BBs, 42 Ks, 5 HRs

118 ABs, .271 AVG, .886 OPS, 12 BBs, 25 Ks, 7 HRs

 

Both 19 year old Top 100 prospects at Low A

Both 19 year old Top 100 prospects at Low A

 

1st is Orelvis, but who's the 2nd? Either way, 2nd has an OPS 100 pts higher, nearly half the K's and more HRs in less ABs.

[Daniel Labude]

2nd one is better, but pretty similar overall

Marco Luciano.

 

 

Orelvis is striking out too much but who knows how the robo-umps are affecting things there.
