I just took a look at his baseball prospectus scouting report and looks like they rate his slider and change as below average offerings. So that must be it.

A good fastball is usually enough to rack up the K's in the minors if you have anything resembling a decent secondary offering. I guess he doesn't have that. Would need to develop one though and maybe the change too if he wants to stick as a starter. He's 23, so not exactly a spring chicken from a prospect standpoint.

So Lee doesn't have a change or a breaking pitch? Only a fastball? Why are the Orioles so high on him?

He has three distinct pitches that I saw him throw. Very efficient. BP Old report.

Another strong outing last night. But only 3 k's in 7 innings. Any reason he's not missing more bats? Fastball is supposed to be mid-90's, no?

Doesn't Lee's throw a sinker, or have sink on his FB? He got 10 GB outs. That could be the reason for lack of K's. They were grounding out before K'ing.

I thought it was a cutter myself.

The O's are going to need an effective lefty (other than Britton) in the pen sooner than later. What's the probability that Lee is in the O's pen by early July? Seems like a DD/Buck kind of move to me.

I think you're probably right.

At the Hangout/Pressbox forum on Saturday, both Stan and Tony felt Lee would contribute this season.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      People keep talking about Norby's flawed defense, meanwhile Holliday is looking pretty bad out there. Small sample size, I guess! But how long is the leash?

      the Royals gave us the business tonight...except for the slam by Adley...we stunk to high hell tonight...especially the pen...Akin and  Tate...they both came up small.

      How should we look at FA contracts going forward?

      By Sydnor · Posted

      I know this isn’t the question that you asked, but my recollection is that you worked on the business side for the Orioles at some point, so I think you might be able to weigh in on this idea: do you think there are business reasons to extend a Gunnar or an Adley? I know you’re view is generally that extensions are overrated by the fanbase, but that largely seems related to the idea that you are paying for past-peak years (if I’m off base here, it wasn’t intentional—just my recollection). I tend to think that from a business standpoint, an extension for a young player would not make a material difference concerning the amount of tickets sold, revenue generated, etc. and would really just make some people on X happy, but I don’t really have anything to support that opinion.

      The way he is pitching that's like throwing gas on a fire.

      I don't think Elias will seriously entertain bringing back Santander.

      Left the game with 1 run in and 2 on ,2 outs in the 6th and Akin gave up both runs. Bad luck tonight in my opinion but I'm sure there are many on here will say he sucks and should be replaced.

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Yeah, we're kind of getting off track here since this is a Jackson Holliday thread, but I will say I don't see how Mountcastle gets traded -- and even if he did it would be to unblock Mayo and not Kjerstad.  Both Mounty and Mayo are righties, and it doesn't look like Mayo will play third base anytime soon.  I think two of the prospects need to get traded -- maybe in the offseason or next season -- unless Hays, O'Hearn or Mounty are dealt.  I think there's a chance the O's bring back Santander, but that's a big wildcard too.
