While he still seems like a very undisciplined hitter (way too anxious at times/pitchers don't have to throw him strikes), his talent is de phenom. But 9 walks is not good. Manny took the huge step up in selectivity this year, but Schoop has a longer way to go. To sustain that gaudy .842 OPS he has, he's going to have to adjust, imo.

You're right. The power is legit and I think 30 HR over a full season is very realistic. But he won't have a .343 BABIP next year. I feel like he does a better job of laying off certain pitches, but his K rate is the same, his BB rate remains very low, and his swing percentage on pitches out of the zone is way too high (43.9%), so I'm not sure my "feelings" are warranted. On the other hand, he's only had 755 plate appearances in the majors, so he's still in the learning phase. Manny's big jump in plate discipline this year occurred after nearly 1200 at bats. So, there's hope for Schoop on that front.

Schoop has a .680 OPS in his last 46 games. Overall, his OBP is down to .301 from .342 on August 9. Schoop has made great strides this year but needs to take another step forward next year.

Agreed. He's getting there though. He may never finish with a .342 OBP at the end of a given year.

I still think Buck should have arranged a couple more days off after he returned from injury.

He improved quite a bit with the bat this season, but only marginally in both his walk and SO rates - both very unimpressive numbers. His walk rate's improved (so far) from 2.86% of his at bats to 2.95%, and his strikeouts decreased from 26.81% to 25.9%.

Jonathan Schoop has a lot of pop for his position. The 24-year-old (as of two days ago) Oriole led all second baseman with a .482 slugging percentage.
Schoop had the fourth-highest K-rate (24.6) and the second-lowest (2.0) walk rate among second baseman with at least 320 plate appearances. Refining his approach has been a primary goal.

“I’m trying to see the ball longer, and not just go get it,” Schoop told me in September. “I’m trying to swing at strikes. I feel I’m getting better and better, but I still have a long way to go. It’s about learning. All young players… Mike Trout, Manny Machado, Bryce Harper – even them; they’re all learning. You get better by learning every day.”

If he can get his defense back to 2014 levels then he won't have to improve much.

I don't expect players to be perfect.

I'm happy enough with a slick glove and a power bat.

      2024 Week 6: Ravens vs Commanders

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
