All stats are from Aberdeen unless GCL is noted at the end of the entry. All players went to a 4-year college except those marked with a * (high school) or ** (juco). Needless to say, all sample sizes are miniscule. Aberdeen has 19 games remaining, the GCL team has 13.

1. Cody Sedlock - 18.0 IP, 2.50 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 9.0 K/9

1s. Keegan Akin - 17.0 IP, 1.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 9.5 K/9

2. Matthias Dietz - 10.2 IP, 4.22 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, 3.4 K/9**

3. Austin Hays - 76 PA, .309/.368/.456, 4 SB

4. Brenan Hanifee - has not played due to back problems*

5. Alexis Torres - 97 PA, .214/.320/.310 (GCL)*

6. Tobias Myers - 7.2 IP, 4.70 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 4.7 K/9

7. Preston Palmeiro - 68 PA, .246/.279/.277

9. Lucas Humpal - 20.2 IP, 3.05 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 10.5 K/9

10. Cody Dube - 19.1 IP, 2.33 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 6.5 K/9

11. Zach Muckenhirn - 21.1 IP, 2.53 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 8.0 K/9

12. Max Knutson - 19.1 IP, 4.19 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 8.4 K/9

13. Brandon Bonilla - has not played due to back problems.

14. Ruben Garcia - 15.1 IP, 1.76 ERA, 0.59 WHIP, 12.3 K/9 (GCL)**

FWIW, Torres had a very slow start and has posted a .790 OPS in August. For an 18 year old, he's shown strong plate discipline and drawn 12 walks in 96 plate appearances. He was billed as a slick-fielding, defense-first shortstop and had split his time this summer between both middle infield positions.

I thought Bonilla did sign? :confused:
He did for 100K. He currently isn't playing due to a bad back.

I forgot that he eventually signed. When I looked him up and saw that he hadn't played, I mistakenly assumed he hadn't been signed. I will correct the OP.

Good results from 10 out of the 17 that have played, but more importantly 3 of the top 4 picks have come as advertised. I'll take that.

We also have some guys that were drafted/signed last year showing some promise in rookie ball, including Ryan McKenna and Irving Ortega.

If we can find three productive major leaguers out of this draft, i will consider it a success. Our previous ten drafts have produced about 12 total (four currently with other teams). My picks are Sedlock, Akin, and Hays.

Ruben Garcia has some interesting numbers in Sarasota and I still like the Torres pick. The difference in BA vs. OBP shows good plate discipline despite a weak start in batting average.

I would like to know more about this guy. He's a big boy: listed at 6'4, 220.

Watch McKenna. He's a NH kid and he might be a little behind prospects his same age but he could surprise. Appears to have good baseball instincts. Definite sleeper pick from a year ago.

Yeah, McKenna at 19 seems more interesting than Billingsly at 22.

McKenna can absolutely play; really looking forward to seeing him progress. Could he be the heir apparent in CF?

I haven't heard enough about his individual tools to get too excited yet. He could be more of a fourth outfielder at the major league level.

Regardless, I think he will be the starting center fielder in Delmarva next year. His numbers in Aberdeen are very similar to what Cedric Mullins did there last year although Mullins was a year older at the time.

      John Sterling retires at 85

      By FlaO'sFan · Posted

      I remember him from his time with the Braves when I was in Atlanta. This is from the 'Rick Camp Game' in 85.

      Cole Irvin 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      I don’t think his lack of command in the early going is going to be fixed by changing roles.  Irvin typically has very good command.  He didn’t at the beginning of last year, but recovered it after a stint in the minors.  This year he’s having early problems again, but I think the reasons may be different.  He’s gained velocity and he’s added a new pitch that moves well but he hadn’t quite figured out how to command.  So, I don’t know if he’ll figure it out or not.  If he does, he could emerge a better pitcher than at any previous time in his career. In any event, he will get at least two more starts before Means is ready to return.   Hopefully he’ll make some progress, but he’s likely to find himself in the bullpen when Means returns regardless.

      Cole Irvin 2024

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Irvin is probably the most frustrating pitcher on this team right now. He has good velocity and good movement, but consistently misses his targets by a foot or two. Monday night the Twins hit a number of missiles that by luck or pluck didn't fall in, but a better team would have probably put up a touchdown against him. I think Irvin would have more success out of the pen, throwing as hard as he can for 20 pitches, rather than as a starter where he has to hold back a little so as to eat innings. Of course that's not going to resolve his problems with lack of command, but at least he'd be in a position to do less damage out of the BP than by starting every fifth day.

      As some people have noted on the Holliday thread, a quick release can help make up for less than a rocket arm and he's quick and has good hands.  Seems to work well with Gunnar too.

      Craig Kimbrel 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      He’s been murdering a lot of balls.  99th percentile in average exit velocity, 97th in hard hit rate.  He’s been a little unlucky, with a .331 xOBA, .361 xwOBA going into last night.

      Cedric Mullins 2024

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      It's only somewhat relevant to this post, but that game saving catch in Seattle, and the subsequent game winning home run is quite possibly the most impressive thing I ever saw within one inning of  each other.Cedric Mullins did that. I watched Willie Mays for most of my life...I simply dont think he ever did that...certainly not in extra innings and so close those moments were together.
