"I'll tell you what ? you don't see a guy improve that much in that short of a time very often," said Kennie Steenstra, the High-A Frederick pitching coach.

Said Orioles manager Buck Showalter: "Mostly you see it in high school from the 10th grade to the 11th grade to the 12th grade. You don't see it at ? 22, 23 [years old]. You usually don't see it that late."

Lee, 23, was one of 15 young arms at the Orioles' pitching minicamp this week after the team's minor league staff had a hand in using his athleticism and promise to mold him into a practical pitcher last summer.

The Orioles acquired Lee in a rare trade with the Houston Astros that sent two of their international signing bonus slots, valued at around $655,000.

      2024 Blue Jays - early danger spot

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Frustrating moment for Gausman (and his roto owners), he's closing in on 5 shutout innings but 1B Vlad seems to more or less just plain miss the throw from the 3B on a routine groundout two outs, man on 2nd to let run #1 in.  Maikel Garcia bloop, Bobby Witt doubles, and he's losing 3-2.

      I trained owned race horses for 25 years.  100s and 100s of them.   From bringing up and breaking yearlings who never raced and then racing them as a 2 and 3 year old.....to older war horses who raced 400 times and you keep them together and racing with everything under the kitchen sink.   One thing that as a race horse trainer was very easy to see, from the get go, was where to classify your horse as a yearling/maiden.  In  other words a horse who had either never raced or who had never won a race as a 2 and 3 year old.  Some horses show a lot of ability at the farm when training, but then when you get them to the actual races then are just too green.  Which means inexperienced.   They have no idea what they or doing or how to race.    I equate JH to this.   He has shown all kinds of ability on the farm....but when he got to the real deal he was completely over matched.  He looks like a HS player. When that happens with a race horse?  We race them at easier race tracks against less talented horses to get their feet wet.   To get their confidence.  I think we all, me included, way over rated JH's ability to perform at the ML level so early.   He needs to go back to the farm, grow up a little because he looks like a little kid, and come back when he has matured.
