Anyone got the scoop here? He throws 97 with a 87 mph change. Shunned the Nationals. My kind of guy. He's a Senior now. He had to transfer to a JUCO for some reason.

I'm guessing the Os scout saw him on March 23rd against Mississippi State in a 11-2 blowout game when he struck out the side in the one of two games he pitched all year. Looks like he was mainly a nondescript outfielder. Maybe they saw a big kid with a good arm and took a flier on him in the 37th round? He apparently was a pretty good pitcher in high school but I have no idea why he really never pitched much in college.

According to the Sun, Bleeker signed and will start his career in the outfield although he will work wit the pitchers in the instructional league. Not real sure why they would mess around with Bleeker as a position player because clearly they saw something with his size and arm on the mound. I expect he'll be transitioned full-time to the mound by next season.

He didn't like pitching and would have been behind our deep pitching staff anyways. I thought he looked good in the one inning i did see him pitch lol. plenty of potential. He had a strong arm in LF for us and some power at the plate, but he won't be good enough there at the next level to play OF full time imo. Could be a decent pitcher though

      Kremer and Bradish are playoff starters

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What would be ideal is for the #1-#2 punch at the top of the rotation to be a combo of RHP and LHP.  It seems that the teams who are most successful have those guys to lead their rotation. And I agree with your statement about John Means. If Grayson Rodriguez were to provide us with any indicator, then John Means will not be the same guy that he was before his injury.  (Neither is Grayson compared to himself prior to injury.)

      Guardians Series - Test for the Defense

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      The most intriguing mystery about this series is who will pitch on Wednesday? Could be Irvin, Could be Voth. Could be DL Hall? Maybe Drew Rom makes his Major League debut? Hmm...

      I blame the Montreal Expos for that. They poached our territory. And all the front office executives from 2001-2011 are also partially to blame for failing to compete with Washington for fans. (And as a side note, I really hope we are valuing our fans from North Carolina who have supported the Orioles for generations.)

      Gunnar Henderson 2023

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      Interesting little piece of trivia. At this same point (of service time on the calendar) through both their careers, Cal (Ripken Jr) had played in fewer games and had fewer plate appearances. Gunnar Henderson has a better wOBA and a better wRC+ through the same amount of plate appearances up to this point of Gunnar's career. (I'll make a topic about it tomorrow).

      Guardians Series - Test for the Defense

      By Just Regular · Posted

      The story of the Guardians year has been the inability to put runs on the board, but they still lead MLB in fewest Strikeouts, and Fangraphs still pegs BAL the very worst team at defense YTD. They won the rubber game today of their Cardinals series, so are coming in on a little bit of a good note.     The Twins haven't played very well, leaving almost everyone a good week away from the division lead. K-BB standing among Active Roster AL SP (18) Wells v. (30) Allen (54) Gibson v. (61) Quantrill Voth/Irvin v. (49) Bieber 2 of 3 day games in a weekday series with the holiday, and a getaway day out to San Francisco and Alex Cobb for us.     Cleanup hitter Josh Naylor sat out today after fouling a ball off his foot, but X-rays okay and chances are he'll be back for this series.     With the 2.5 day break from WED afternoon to FRI night late, Hyde should have a lot of options for the finale if Wells/Gibson hold serve.

      Anyone else pissed that they played us so tough? We should have swept them.
