BA gushing over the Tiedemann porn...

 

 

No way the Jays ever trade this flamethrower from the left side, nope, no f***ing way.

BA gushing over the Tiedemann porn...

 

 

He's getting a ton of attention all over the baseball stratosphere and very deservedly so. Future Jays is very excited as well.

Ricky has the same pitching motion/delivery as Shane McL

He’s in Dunedin I think or did he get moved up? If so, I’m going to see him play lol.

[RustyTrombone]

Got promoted yesterday or the the day before. Already got his first homer today.

f*** yea! Buying some tickets now.

[connorp]

Kyle Manzardo…

 

What are the chances the Rays struck gold and this guy is going to give them a middle-of-the order bat for years to come?

[Laika]

From what I've read his raw power is below average

[connorp]

From what I've read his raw power is below average

 

Well he has a lot more game power I guess. Anyways, raw can change as people get strength gains at different times 18-24 imo. Obviously he’s old for the level but most of the elite colleges guys don’t come out hitting like that

Gabriel's load reminds me of Bo's a bit...

Jackson Chourio

Brewers OF

Notes:

Tools: Hit: 55 | Power: 60 | Run: 70 | Fielding: 60 | Arm: 50

Skinny: The 18-year-old Venezuelan has been the breakout player of the minors, reaching High-A Wisconsin at an age when his peers are still in the Rookie-level complex leagues. With advanced hitting ability, explosive power, plus-plus speed and highlight-reel defense in center field, he has the tools to be a future superstar.

[Laika]

That wording is a little off-putting.

 

Gabriel's Load

[Jimcanuck]

Key to the Soto deal:

 

James Wood

NationalsOF

Notes:

Tools: Hit: 45 | Power: 65 | Speed: 55 | Fielding: 50 | Arm: 50.

Skinny: A giant slugger with the ability to impact the game in a variety of ways, Wood is more than an oddity as a 6-foot-7 slugger with advanced plate discipline and more bat-to-ball skills than his huge limbs would portend. His combination of plus power and feel to hit in a power forward’s body make Wood one of the most exciting prospects in the minor leagues.

[Jimcanuck]

Just 2 Blue Jays:

 

Gabriel Moreno

Blue JaysC

Notes:

Tools: Hit: 70 | Power: 50 | Run: 40 | Fielding: 55 | Arm: 60

Skinny: Moreno has the potential to be a plus-plus hitter, which has been evident in Triple-A. His natural hitting gifts and plus defense behind the plate make him a potential all-star even with questions about his power.

 

Ricky Tiedemann

Blue JaysLHP

Notes:

Tools: Fastball: 60 | Changeup: 70 | Slider: 55 | Control: 50

Skinny: One of the minor leagues' biggest breakouts on the pitching side, Tiedemann has shot through three levels to reach Double-A in his first professional season. He’s continued to impress with a three-pitch mix composed of above-average or better pitches.

[InsideThePark]

Toman assigned to the FCL. 1 for 3 with a single and a sac fly in his first game today.

 

De Jesus also there which is odd. Perhaps some organizational orientation thing before going to A+. He was 1 for 3 with a HR

[John_Havok]

That wording is a little off-putting.

 

Nah. They can both unload on balls with regularity with their loads, so... I don't see the problem.

[John Balkabella]

Totally weird, but de Jesus reminded me of Ivan when he was a Cub, then that great infield they used to have before that. Ron Santo, Don Kessinger, , Glen Beckert, and some guy named Ernie Banks.

 

Those guys could play.

Orelvis completely dumped out of the top 100 is a bit shocking, even though he's not having a barn-burner of a year, he's still 20 at AA, murders baseballs when he does connect, and has a defensive position on the left side of the IF. That's usually at least top 50 worthy from BA. They must be terrified of his hit tool

Yep, the bust risk is high right now

 

But 30% K rate and .231 BABIP. Tone down his aggressiveness (55% swing rate) with a normal BABIP and the wRC+ gets into the 130 range. The aggressiveness and low BABIP suggests weak contact on pitches out of the zone

[43211234]

I don't know how accurate the Batted Ball numbers on Fangraphs are for the minor leagues, but Orelvis looks like an extreme pop-up guy.

 

His infield flyball rate is 26.3% and was similar last year. Only a single qualified batter is above 20% in the majors this year and the league average is 10.2%

 

Orelvis must have some massive holes in his swing right now.

 

Here's an old fangraphs article I found on popups: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/hitter-traits-that-causes-infield-fly-balls/

[BlueBaller]

Probably should have started in Vancouver.

[John_Havok]

Probably should have started in Vancouver.

 

Possibly, but his numbers this year at a higher level are already pretty much equal to his High A numbers from last year, so he's not getting worse. He's just getting challenged by the higher competition and needs to make probably more than 1 adjustment to get back on track. He won't figure out how to hit AA pitching at A+.

[Jimcanuck]

Orelvis' issues are probably between the ears. Coaching can only do so much for it.
