2014 #9 Prospect: Mike Yastrzemski - OF

[DrungoHazewood]

Depends on what set of data you look at and if you are looking at elite or regular players. You can make a case for a peak of 27 for non-elite players.

You can make a very strong case for 27 for everyone.

Outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is settling in with the Baysox this season, but he still has his eyes set on wearing an Orioles uniform in the future. http://www.pressboxonline.com/2015/05/22/orioles-prospect-mike-yastrzemski-continuing-to-produce-in-bowie

Good for little/young Yastrzemski.

Tony Pente had this to say about him in an interview last month:

PRESS BOX:O You know we're getting old when we are talking about a guy whose grandfather we remember well ...... Mike Yastrzemski.

TONY:O Yastrzemski is a guy that really stepped up last season. He had a great college career at Vanderbilt. He's not a great "toosly" guy ...... not a guy that the scouts go out and fall in love with. BUT, if you watch the guy over a long period of time (140 or 150 games), you realize that he's a guy that can help you. He's a great defensive outfielder. He has a little bit of pop, and he hits the ball to all fields. He's a guy that I can see eventually becoming perhaps a 4th outfielder, and help a ball club.

Little Yastrzemski is having a mediocre year on offense for AA-Bowie:

I'm rooting for the former Vanderbilt Commodore to succeed long-term.

I don't see an opening for Yaz in Norfolk. He's probably going to have to repeat Bowie if they plan on giving him everyday AB's. I was expecting more from Yaz and G.Davis. But both have had their struggles and injuries.

Really impressive first season, but has definitely fallen off. I'm sure that he'll be in Bowie again next year.

Mike Yastrzemski seemed to hit a wall, both offensively and defensively, at Bowie. It happens to a lot of young players. The good ones figure out a way to break through and move on. I like this kid because he is definitely talented and motivated. I think he figures it out and will be in Norfolk by mid-season next year.

I wonder if the Orioles will assign him to play in the Arizona Fall League?

[Crazysilver03]

Who do you see in the Norfolk of next year. Borbon will be a mil FA. Urrutia, Lake, and Lough are out of options. Alvarez could be in Baltimore next year.

Lough being out of options only matters if he goes back on 40 man.

Mike is a nice 25 year old. I like him. Let's bring him up. He's of that age.

Mike Yastrzemski hit a 1st-inning, 2-run home run to kick off a 4-hit night, and the Baysox defeated AA-Reading by a score of 6-2 at First Energy Stadium on Saturday night. The win coincided with losses from AA-Altoona and AA-Akron, all of which helped the Baysox' cause to secure a postseason berth.

No reason to not root for Yastrzemski. But he's 25, still in AA, and OPSing .703 with 7 steals. As an outfielder who might be a fringy CFer, but more likely ends up in a corner. He's a longshot.
