Round 19 - Joshua Hader: LHP, Old Mill Senior Hill (MD)

[Dr. FLK]

12.2 IP, 21:4 K:BB. A pretty nice start for this guy. What's the typical progression for a guy like this? Will he spend another season (or more) in the GCL while the work to build up his frame?

Hader's line today - IP 3.1 H 1 R 1 ER 1 BB 0 K 6 HR 1 ERA 2.70

[Dr. FLK]

I see that he's now pitching for Aberdeen. In his first 2 outings, he's gone 3.0 innings, with 3/1 K/BB. Is he still likely to repeat the GCL next year, or will he spend the season in Aberdeen?

I can't see a way he doesn't pitch at Delmarva next year.

[Dr. FLK]

Hader pitched again last night: 1.1 IP, 2 K, 0 BB. So far at Aberdeen, he's gone 4.1 IP with 5 Ks, 1 BB, 1 H, and 0 R. His numbers this season are pretty darn impressive (40/8 K/BB in 24.2 IP).

[Ruzious]

43 SO's to 9 walks in 26.2 innings for the season - and only 14 hits allowed. That's spectacular for an 18 year old 19th round pick.

Yeah, this kid seems to really be on a roll right now. I feel like every time I check his stat line, he's gone 2 innings with 4 ks, 1 BB, and 0 R.

[Dr. FLK]

The strikeouts continue: 2 IP, 5 K, 0 BB, 0 H, 0 R.

Now that Aberdeen's season is over, Josh's final stat line of the year is complete:

GCL 20.1 IP, 12 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 7 BB, 35 K, .174 OAVG, 1.18 GO/AO

ABD 8.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 13 K, .074 OAVG, 1.40 GO/AO

TOT 28.2 IP, 14 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 9 BB, 48 K, .146 OAVG, 1.25 GO/AO

I hadn't realized he was such a groundball pitcher too. Wow, his line is impressive.
