Updates on Hunter Harvey

[Frobby]

Personally, I’d prefer he started the year in Frederick, moving to Bowie quickly if he was dominating at A+.   But I won’t freak out if he goes straight to Bowie.

I suspect that there is a good chance that he starts the season at AA-Bowie instead of Advanced-A Frederick, and I'll explain why.

The reason being is that last September when Roy Firestone first informed us that he had heard from a source within the organization that Harvey could conceivably be promoted to the Orioles as early as June of 2018, he said that it was contingent on "how well he pitches at AA-Bowie in April and May."

 

Hence, the language that was used in that piece of information makes me sense that he will be pitching at the AA-level In April and May instead of at the Advanced-A level.

I think Hunter could start a few games in Frederick since he is the highest priority pitcher in the minors right now, and I doubt they want to rush him. If he has success than he can move quickly to Bowie.

Yeah, we could use a really good fan forum for the Orioles. Maybe one where you could even post comments about how hopeless the team is while the game is being played. And if an Oriole hits a homer some guy could post his full name in orange and black letters. Great idea!

Seems kinda tacky to be honest.

Would it help, just hypothetically,  if he were from out of town?

Haha. Maybe they'll put me on the radio one day too.

Harvey allowed one run and two hits in two innings and his fastball kept touching 97 mph in the first.

Hopefully, it had movement on it too!!!

Blech, 14 strikes and 9 balls.  

Why?   That’s about 61%, about average for a major league pitcher.

I am interested in his desire to develop the changeup. It appears he has identified that as a deficiency in his arsenal. Given the plan to start him at Bowie, is he well served with  Kennie Steenstra as his pitching coach?

Yeah, I guess you're right.  I dunno.

The only even vague reason to bring Harvey up this year is if for some reason this team is in contention, he's pitching well and has innings to give, and the Orioles could use him in the pen.

Other that, he needs to spend all of 2018 starting every five days in a minor league rotation as he builds up innings.

This is absolutely correct.  Hopefully, the Orioles follow suit.

Harvey to pitch a sim game next and then start against the Yankees on March 21.    Nice to see the O’s giving him a lot of opportunity to show what he can do this spring.

OFFNY, your ERA is off.  It should be 3.86. One of the runs was unearned. 

Did anyone watch the game?  How did he look?  Velocity?
