2015 7th (223) - Gray Fenter - RHP - West Memphis Senior HS (AR)


Recommended Posts

High school righty. Callis had him 133 on his draft board.

Good looking pick in the 7th if we can sign him. Committed to Mississippi State

Up to 94 mph at PG National. Outstanding on the mound at WWBA WC and up to 93 mph

Yep, that's what I was going to say. Overslot alert.

Looks like a really nice prospect though. Hopefully we can get him signed.

Following up with this kid in the 7th makes sense of the Jay Flaa selection in the 6th. Hopefully, we can use the savings to pay up for what Fenter is asking.

6 foot 1 Three Pitches. Not Projectable.

Gray Fenter can hit 96 mph with his fastball and he generates a lot of sink and groundouts when he works at 88-93

Just a note, he's from Arkansas, not Alaska.

A high school kid with two legit pitches is a great get in the 7th -- if they can sign him.

My apologies. I botched the state abbreviation. I guess I'm not smarter than a 5th grader *sighs*

It's fixed now.

    • Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!
    • Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
    • SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
    • Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.
    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
