Damiano Palmegiani had 4 walks and a 2B yesterday.

 

Now hitting a cool .538/.632/1.077 with a 291 wRC+ in 4 AAA games.

Just noticed Jordan Groshans is hitting to a .649 ops with 6 homers in 499 AB's (in AAA)

Hope he ends up breaking out like Schneider in 2024.

Don't look now but Mitch White hasn't been complete dog s*** in AAA recently. 7 innings of 1 run ball tonight struck 7 and walked 2. Only allowed 2 hits as well.

I can't say I'm overly surprised. Mitch White isn't nearly as s***** as fans think. Just like Stripling and Kikucci weren't either.

One of my favorite prospects in our system.

 

The real exciting thing about Palmegiani is his rapid rate of improvement given how raw he still is. He was playing baseball in Alberta farm towns till the end of high school, after which is transferred to a junior college in the States. So he wasn’t exactly playing great competition even by draft prospect standards, and he’s done nothing short of rake since he joined the Jays org. The physical tools are great, but what’s more exciting is potentially how much better he can become the more he plays, because relative to his peers, he’s still quite raw.

A little dramatic on his High School situation. He was recruited out of Venezuela to play at Vauxhall academy, who play at every major tournament in Canada as well as winning the Bishop Gorman tourney in Vegas once

[Laika]

Palmegiani looks pretty yoked but a lot of his HR videos are kind of wall scrapers

 

I'd love to see his statcast data. What is the MaxEV?

 

Also, how is the defense? Is he an infield prospect or an "infield prospect" like Davis Schneider?

Thanks for that. The amateur ball around here has taken massive leaps in the last 20 years

All over Canada.

True, I just meant specific to Southern Alberta where it's gone from virtually nothing to having 2 pretty decent collegiate level leagues in the last 25~ years

[TheHurl]

Also everyone in Okotoks plays ball. Despite no longer being on the board, I still follow the WCBL, love that a few of the top high school guys got gigs this this year

Vancouver Canadians playoffs game 2 is free tonight. Macko won game one last night with a decent game 1H, 4BB over 5 innings.

Tiedemann promoted to AAA. First start coming this weekend.

[gruber92]

Orelvis 3-5 with a double and a HR.

[Olerud363]

Now up to .278 .353 .535 in Buffalo.

[Sorrow]

Good for a 114 wRC+. The offensive environment in AAA must be crazy this year.

[L54]

Exciting times ahead awaiting the arrival of flawed top 75 prospects just like the good ol days

Yes it is. I guess because of the automated strike zone which makes everything really hard to understand just using previous knowledge of how to judge triple a stats.

Jays need to have some of these guys surprise to the upside like Teoscar Hernandez did. At least they have multiple 'interesting' prospects knocking on the door (Schneider, Orelvis, Palmegiani, Roden, Howritz, Barger, Jiminez).

 

Multiple kicks at the can at least. After Guerrero and Kirk surprising to the low side, fans deserve someone surprising to the high side.

[Spanky__99]

MLB set a record this year on top 100 spects debuting... there reason isn't the new CBA just better baseball development. If true this is huge for baseball...

 

[Laika]

I dunno. I would just guess that with the march of statistics and data the prospect ranker people are just getting a bit better over time.

 

Like, these upper/mid minors players with strong stats are more likely to make lists now, rather than the 17 year olds with big muscles.

That's fair... I assume we read a better piece in this regard, soon whether how quick elite players are getting there, they're far more aggressive. I like the topic.

Teams for the most part are no longer making players go level by level

 

Like if these guys are in A+ or AA and they are ticking the boxes for exit velo, pitch velo, barrel rate, etc. they are getting called up

Yeah but at that age it is aggressive right? But if they're elite why not, that's changed aggressively.
