He has had recent health concerns which brought his price down. Makes one wonder how he would cope with an O's physical.

Until this post I new nothing of this player, which is not unusual for me. I didn't know anything about the two Latin players we signed the other day. However, from just watching the video, it appears as though many of his pitches are up in the strike zone and hittable. Is it my misperception or is his delivery just that deceptive?

He along with Ryu were a big part of the Korean National Team doing well in the WBC and other international competition. He has had health issues and evidently is a Boras client. I just asked Dan if he might be willing to establish himself with a one year deal.

Well, apparently he has had success against quality competition. Not optimistic with boras as his representative.

His biggest problem is his name. There's just too much you can do with that.

His slider looks good but that might be from all the swings and misses he's getting. I'm not so sure major league hitters would swing at it as much. Either way, he has starter and closing experience and he should not cost a lot. Considering the general affordability of Chens contract and Chens numbers are better I think something like 2/8 could make it happen.

Like I said the only way he could happen with the O's is a deal where he signs a one year deal in exchange for free agency after the one season.
Why would PA even agree to a one year deal if he has health issues? Wada to close in his memory, IMO. And Boras isn't selling him cheap.

Because a one year deal is less risky then a multi-year deal.

I am certainly not saying that there is a likelihood of anything happening between the two parties.

      O's @ Yankees Series, June 18-20 (Tues-Thurs)

      By .500_OR_BETTER · Posted

      Hopefully the O's took notes on the Red Sox exposing Trevino on Sunday night. Anyone not named McCann, Rutschman, and O'hearn - if you get on base, just run.

      I just read a take on his changeup that loved it - thought it might help him be a "reverse splits" kind of RH middle reliever. Right now the Orioles have a bunch of lefties though should Coulombe end up okay.

      Brandon Young 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      BP profiled him today: Brandon Young, RHP, Baltimore Orioles Listed Height: 6-foot-6 Listed Weight: 210 pounds DOB (Age): August 19, 1998 (25) Pitch Velo Spin IVB HB Total % Whiff% 4-Seam Fastball 93.5 2124 18.0 -4.8 131 48.7 31.8 Changeup 85.5 1730 9.8 -13.3 64 23.8 22.9 Curveball 75.7 2723 -14.4 11.5 34 12.6 40.0 Slider 85.4 2048 5.4 5.5 26 9.7 12.5 Sweeper 79.5 2084 1.7 11.5 14 5.2 11.1 Injuries limited Young to just 53 1/3 innings between 2022 and 2023. Upon return to action last year, he flashed increased velocity. That velocity bump has carried over to 2024. Now, Young’s fastball has borderline-average velocity (previously below-average) but above-average carry and extension (6.6 feet). It is further aided by strong command. After his fastball, which is by no means a world beater, Young has a smattering of average secondaries. He primarily relies on a changeup–really his only secondary with above-average potential–that has solid velocity (8 mph), vertical movement (8+ inches), and horizontal movement (8+ inches) separation from his fastball. Both his breaking balls either lack enough power (curveball) or depth (slider/cutter) to be viable putaway pitches at the MLB level. His seldomly-used sweeper has potential, but it has had little success so far. Young adds to the depth of the deepest system in baseball, yet he very well may just be that–depth–likely without an above-average offering. Of course, he could become a viable fantasy arm even with mediocre stuff due to his command and control.

      You would theoretically make more money over time by best serving your employers.

      If I sell someone a house, I don’t advise them to buy the most expensive house because that means more money for me. I get to know the client, understand what’s important for them and advise them based off of that. That’s how you should always handle a job like that imo. Your wallet should not be part of the equation.
