Excited to see Delgado pitch against my Rays.

I haven’t seen him pitch too much.

Jenrry Mejia

Now in the AA leg of his rehab swing:
3 IP, 6H, 1R, 0BB, 3K

For some reason the Mets had him on a 50-60 pitch limit today, after letting him go deeper in his first two rehab starts.

by psiogen on May 19, 2025 4:44 PM EDT reply actions

perhaps they're hoping that the variation will encourage the regrowth of his arm strength

Another possibility is that the Mets want to make a determination as to whether he is a starter or a reliever in the long-term.

Christian Friedrich

going against the Mariners today. Anyone know what kind of velocity he’s working with this year?

by sethbeno on May 19, 2025 4:54 PM EDT reply actions

is a good place to keep track of this information. You can check the average velocity for each pitch for major league games. You can check my game, or the season as a whole. His fb is sitting at 91.9.

I check FG often

but never realized they tracked pitch velocity. I should have known considering they track stats for everything. Thanks.

Nick Tepesch pitching very well against Wilmington

Jason Parks ‏@ProfessorParks

#Rangers RHP Nick Tepesch looking very sharp: FB in 92-95 range, Cutter 88-91, two-plane CB at 80-81. Very nasty. Sharp angles.

Cobb

With a nice start for TB. 7IP, 6H, 2ER, 2BB, 6K

He was overlooked of course, but very good in his own right.

by Woodland League on May 19, 2025 7:51 PM EDT reply actions

I was on of those who overlooked him. I feel bad for that, because I have been so impressed with him at the MLB level.

He had 12 groundouts to one flyout. So 18 out of the 21 outs were Ks or GBs.

by mr. maniac on May 19, 2025 8:53 PM EDT up reply actions

You weren't the only one

I mean, TB pitching was stacked and he’s done a lot with his tools. I really like seeing him in MLB and hope he stays for a while.

It's quite premature to ask, but

When do you all see him being bumped up a level?

by brirob on May 19, 2025 8:54 PM EDT up reply actions

Seeing as he's only 19 and not decimating his level, I could see him spending the full season there.

But I’m not an expert on these matters. No real reason to rush him at this point as there’s nowhere for him to play on the big league club. Might as well let him mature a bit.

by the tourist on May 19, 2025 9:16 PM EDT up reply actions

good assumption

but the Rangers are notoriously aggressive with their prospects and Profar’s no exception (he’s only 19 in AA). I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in Round Rock in August.

Sale or Keys?

Which player’s recent performance is for real - Sale, or Keys - or both?

by brirob on May 19, 2025 10:17 PM EDT up reply actions

I'm much more confident about Sale

His current performance jives with previous scouting reports, which gives us two pieces of data. For Keys, though, this is coming out of nowhere, not to mention that a lot of his performance is BABIP-related

Same game

Ryan Brett 2-5 2K SB

Felipe Rivero 5IP 1R 1ER 5K

A great amount of offensive potential on this team with those 4 mentioned above and also Hager and Goeddel.

No matter how much they are hyped, my teams always find a way to disappoint.

by thedudeofdudes on May 19, 2025 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions

And yet

Still firmly looking upwards at my Lugnuts in the standings. And yes, I know, the standings mean less than nothing. But since my Jays have spent most of the last 4+ years looking upward at Tampa, I’m taking satisfaction in the loaded Lugnut squad outdoing the loaded Bowling Green squad, as pointless and perverse as that may be.

by MjwW on May 19, 2025 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions

lol. We'll see how it ends.

Markel is back in the rotation for BG, so that is good. Both teams are absolutely loaded though. At least my MLB Rays are beating the Jays.

Season: 50.2IP, 44H, 2.31 ERA, 10BB, 53K, 4HR, 0.92 GO/AO

Interesting potential sleeper, taken in the 6th round in 2010 out of a Texas JC. 6’5" lefty, only 22. Doesn’t throw hard, high-80s/low 90s with a decent change-up and developing curveball (it induced a number swinging strikes tonight, and he spotted it for called strikes as well). Put up decent numbers for Lasing last year in the Midwest League, but was kinda old for the level, but is reasonably age appropriate now and holding his own.

Yep, the strikeouts numbers are still bad on the season, but maybe he’s adjusting—he has only struck out 6 times in the last 10 games (14% strikeout rate).
