Updates on Hunter Harvey

[Cumberbundy]

We are watching something special right now.

Hunter Harvey looks like he's been delayed but not denied.    I figure he gets his feet wet in Frederick next year, and if he's dominant at that level, will get moved to Bowie pretty quickly.

Pitched a couple of days earlier than originally planned (once a week, on Wednesdays) because this is the last game of the season for the Regular-A Shorebirds.

He has a phenomenal WHIP and Opponents Batting Average since his promotion to Regular-A Delmarva from Advanced-Rookie League Aberdeen.

 

9 OUTS: ) 5 Strikeouts, 2 Flyouts, 1 Groundout, 1 Popout

2 runs in 3 IP?  There goes the legend of Hunter Harvey, starting to unravel.  We should have traded him last week when we had the chance.

His ERA for the season subsequently ballooned to up to 0.96.

I don't know why they keeping running this guy out there with the pipe dream that he'll eventually reach the expectations that they had of him when he was drafted back in 2013. It's 4-PLUS years later, and he is still pitching at the Regular-A level in Delmarva.

 

Time to cut their losses, and move on already.

One of the many positives this year. Real good news.

Im just repeating what one Oriole insider told me this week and its someone who knows and its not Palmer. They said Harvey could be pitching for the Orioles by June next year....if he gets enough innings at Bowie...

That seems crazy aggressive for a guy who's never pitched above Delmarva, but considering how weak our staff is, I believe that might be realistic.

It's a different time of course, and even Palmer was pitching for the Orioles at age 19, but my favorite story was Bob Feller's debut.

He struck out 9 batters in a row ......

He was ...... wait for it ......17 years-old.

My favorite story is Joe Nuxhall, who was 15 years-old when he debuted for the Reds in 1944.

Only 9 K's in a row? You mean he couldn't even reach double digits? I'd have sent him packing to the  minors!

I buy it. That would give him ST and 10 starts in Bowie. There's only so many bullets in an arm. Best to fire them at the MLB level.

Not a true story, Roy.    Bob Feller's debut was a relief appearance of one inning, and his first six appearances were all relief outings of 1-2 innings.   He never struck out more than two batters in any of them.   

Feller's first start was in his seventh appearance.    It was a great outing, in which he allowed one run and six hits, striking out 15 in a complete game win.    But he never struck out 9 in a row in that game or anything close; the most consecutive strikeouts he had was four.   Here's the play-by-play from that game: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CLE/CLE193608230.shtml

Let's see what he does vs some MLB hitters first. Orioles pitchers are usually cursed
