Orelvis 1-4 with his 17th HR of the season. But also 3 K's....

 

 

Got a breaking ball and crushed it for the HR

Posted

Came across this little tidbit report on CBS Sports

 

Ricky Tiedemann, SP, Toronto Blue Jays

2022 minors: 5-1, 1.40 ERA, 0.79 WHIP, 58 IP, 19 BB, 90 K

 

I've been meaning to write about Tiedemann since about the second week of the season, when it first became clear he was poised to be one of the top left-handed pitching prospects in baseball. His production has only improved with a move up to High-A, where he has a 0.96 ERA, though I'm sorry to report he just had his worst start, allowing (gulp) a season-high four hits. Between the two stops, he has a 67 percent strike rate and a 19 percent swinging-strike rate. Improved velocity has made his already excellent changeup all the more devastating. Even as a 19-year-old, he looks near untouchable.

Posted

Oh s***, well which way will Tiedemann go from here?

 

The way of Nate Pearson, or the way of Alek Manoah?

 

He's way younger than those two were when they became highly touted pitching prospects.

Posted
I want to crush up Tiedemann's stat sheet and snort it all day long.

 

No kidding.

 

And Frasso has even better K rate, BB rate, ERA, FIP and xFIP

 

Although he's 4 years older, but still pretty impressive stuff.

Chris Sale vs New Hampshire tonight at 6 PM. Potentially Zulueta starting for NH. Orelvis hopefully gets a few ABs vs Sale

 

Someone should charge the mound and go after Sale as payback for Kirk.

Yeah, I just noticed he's listed as starting for them tonight, I wasn't aware of his promotion, NICE!!

Fridays are Tiedemann days

 

I'm pumped to see him tomorrow and the game, supposed to be a gorgeous afternoon game on a long weekend!

Hadn't realized Zulueta had been promoted, cool.

Frasso was also promoted to Vancouver (in case you missed it)

 

It's so nice to have a bunch of really good to elite level pitching prospects to follow instead of just one or two that you hope their arms don't fall off.

Uh oh.

 

Zulu didn't have a good AA debut and came out after only 46 pitches and 1.2 innings pitched.

 

Hopefully not hurt, just getting him out of there because his debut wasn't going great.

 

1.2 IP, 2 hits, 2 earned runs, 2 walks, 1 K, 46 pitches, 23 strikes

Brought up my (very mild) concern with Moreno's lack of power so far in the GDT.

 

Did a quick breakdown of his hits so far and he's yet to get a hit on anything deep into the outfield:

Could probably use a little more seasoning at Triple-A, which I'm sure he'll get when Jansen is back.

I don't think it's the type of thing I'd keep him in AAA to learn to be honest. These MLB teammates can teach him a lot more about accessing his pop.

What would you do when Jansen is back? Keep all 3? How would you allocate playing time? I'm curious to see what they'll do.

Jansen is trade bait for sure, regardless of what Atkins says publicly. Actually, I could see all 3 being available in the right trade since trading any one of them still leaves 6+ years of catching stability.

Yeah I think Jansen or Moreno are trade bait. Failing a trade, I think I could see them keeping all 3 up and having Kirk become the near full time DH while catching just once a week or something. If he's our new cleanup hitter it would seem like a good idea to keep his bat in the lineup as much as possible. Jansen and Moreno can split time with Jansen getting some pinch hit opportunities and Moreno getting some pinch running.

 

The third option is to option Moreno.

I’m not concerned.

 

Moreno is currently sitting in the 43% range for average exit velocity, and 56% for max exit velocity. So he's not totally swinging a limp noodle.

plus Jansen would not be a tough sign, I'm sure an extension can be worked out if needed
