Hunter Harvey, stud

[Nigel Tufnel]

I think Keith Law was at today's game, so hopefully he posts something.

Keith law was there. Twitter feed doesn't say much other than Harvey was 91-894 in the first with a plus curve.

My guess is there will be some press reports/blogs about this game, which was much anticipated.

Thanks. I see that Law just posted a picture of the Evolution Brewery, so I guess he'll be busy for a while.

Love the fact that he dominated in a game with at least a little hype. Good juju.

[Stotle]

Baseball Prospectus was there -- there will be a write-up.

0-0 top of the 10th.

Is it too soon to be asking the question, "how long will they keep Harvey in Delmarva?" Bundy, you will recall, had 8 starts there, but the first couple were only 3 innings each and he only threw 30 innings in those 8 starts. Harvey's thrown 17 innings already, and though he hasn't been quite as dominant as Bundy was, he's been pretty damned dominant. I'd say he'll get at least 8 starts in Delmarva (which will get him to 45 innings or so), and if he is still dominating about the way he is now, they will start thinking of moving him to Frederick. Unlike Bundy, though, I don't think Harvey will see AA this year.

Reminder on Bundy at Delmarva: 30 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 40 K's. Harvey so far: 17 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 18 K's.

Wow, that does give some perspective.

Yep.

Also to keep in mind Harvey has the one thing Bundy lacked....projection.

0-0 bottom of the 14th. Maybe the starters were not as impressive as we first thought?

CJ Wittman from Baseball Prospectus had high praise for Harvey:

Orioles prospect right-hander Hunter Harvey struck out seven while throwing six shutout innings for Low-A Delmarva on Wednesday night.

Harvey allowed one hit and one walk, but hit two batters, throwing 60 of his 103 pitches for strikes as he locked horns with fellow elite pitching prospect Lucas Giolito. He has allowed three runs, eight hits, and four walks while striking out 18 and hitting three batters in 17 innings. Harvey's fastball sat 92-94, his curve ball was 78-81 with a hard downward snap, and his change-up was at 85 with downward sink. If Harvey is available in your deep keeper league, you may want to consider picking him up as he has the potential to be a perennial Cy Young candidate. Apr 17 - 10:05 AM

Biggg time praise. Absolutely LOVING that we got this kid where we did. Gausman, Bundy, Harvey, and Rodriguez is a fantastic stable of arms, it would be tiresome to get into another discussion of the current crop vs. the cavalry but let's just say I think we're doing alright on that front.

Certainly you can see why DD would see giving up a first-rounder as a viable decision considering this pick (I see how this could be turned around on me, but I think you all will know what I'm trying to say: we're ahead of the game with getting Harvey at 22).
