He is giving it away a bit with the movement in his glove, but this straight change is similar to what Estrada (Tor) has, Bundy has had a 40/45 change up since arriving in Baltimore, this is a solid 50, if not a 55, with 60 upside; it’s incredibly deceptive and it has a 9-14mph drop in velocity as opposed to the split change that had a mph drop in velocity. 

Bundy has continued to reinvent himself post injury. He lost his two best pitches (cutter and high 98mph fb) and has developed an elite 70 grade slider, he’s maintained a spin rate on his fb that allows his 91-93 to play up, he’s got a nice curve ball, and now he just broke out a new change up. This is why you don’t move Bundy to the pen, this is what you hope to see from a pitcher who has the opportunity to work on things, at this level, in a lost season. 

Bundy has also throw what appeared to be one cutter, I believe he throws the cutter a couple times a game when he needs a swing and a miss, the horizontal movement is something you can see he is pulling out intentionally on occasion. It could be random movement, but I doubt it. Nevertheless, this Bundy can be a #1 or 2 at 92mph if this new change up is here to stay.

His cutter was the baby slider variant.  It probably just morphed into the slider he throws.  Not like he had a slider when he was drafted.

Ahhh that makes sense. He’d better develop a changeup. He couldn’t make it work with that curve. Otherwise, 1.5 pitch SP won’t last long.

Bundy's fastest fastball tonight was 94 MPH ........ in the 7th inning, on his 100th pitch (out of 105) of the night.

His slowest fastball so far was 89 MPH, in the top of the 3rd.

 

He had horrible luck in his 7th and final inning of work. In addition to 2 infield singles to start the inning, he was robbed of an inning-ending double play by Steve Wilkerson at 3rd base, who only wound up getting one out because of a hesitation AND a low throw top 2nd base. Then, a routine ground ball which would have ended the inning was thrown in the dirt by ........ Steve Wilkerson.

 

 

20 OUTS: ) 6 Strikeouts, 6 Groundouts, 4 Flyouts, 2 Foulouts, 1 Lineout, 1 Caught Stealing

Idk where you’re getting these grades, but they’re generous. His current slider is a 70? Eh, no. Some games he has spotty command of it and it flattens out. 

I’ve been encouraged by his CH recently, but it’s hardly average let alone above that.

I get them from my eyes. Bundy’s slider is much better than many pitches that get 60s. Eh, yes. He hasn’t thrown this change up prior to today, it was excellent in the only game it’s been used in. Again, eh, yes.

Ah, well, if your eyes say so then of course.

      RHH Outfield Targets

      By wildcard · Posted

      Let  Westy  play 3B vs right handed pitching and LF vs left-handed pitching.    Urias can play 3B vs lefties.   This is only needed if Cowser can't hit lefties. Mateo and Westy can be platoon in the outfield IMO.

      O'Neil seems like a perfect fit if he doesn't cost too much in years or dollars.

      Still think this team didn't choke under pressure?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I don’t think we choked. Stubborn as hell. We literally went down with the same sinking ship philosophy that we had the entire 2nd half of the season.  The young guys just have to adjust. I mean getting completely shut down for 5 post season games has to wear on them. If it doesn’t, then we were never built to win.

      RHH Outfield Targets

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Right now the 2025 OF has three LHH OF in Cowser, Mullins, and Kjerstad. I’m not sure what the bench makeup of this team will be, but it looks like we’ll need 1-2 RHH options.  We could bring Slater back on a small “Tony Kemp” like 1 year deal or a milb deal.  With Santander leaving, and Mateo back to being in the CF mix once healthy, do we go with a more COF RHH type? Trades are a possibility as well, but here is a list of upcoming RHH OF Free Agents,

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By Jagwar · Posted

      I actually didn't suggest a reliever as the return, that was SG. I was thinking more about trading veterans to acquire pitching prospects, probably lower level lottery tickets. I'd rather pick up ML roster pieces through free agency (assuming of course that Rubenstein will allow a significant payroll boost.).

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Each player is different. Each player may have a somewhat different hitting philosophy, based on their strengths and weaknesses. Not everyone is a “power hitter.” I would not coach a Tony Santander the same as a Jordan Westburg, or a Jorge Mateo, or a Cedric Mullins. Some should be more selective, while others may need to do more damage and it’s ok for them to K more because the power payoff is worth it. Some should have a more oppo approach, while others may need to try to pull the ball more. The Waltimore certainly has messed with many of our RH bats.  Being a hitting coach is a lot of work, and it is usually not often a position held for many years. They seem to often be a scapegoat when the players do not hit. I wonder what drove the players to swing more at pitches they probably should not have. I seriously doubt it was Ryan Fuller. Hitting coaches have a general philosophical approach, like Fuller would have hitters learn to take pitches they cannot hit well, with less than 2 strikes.. He wanted them to swing only at pitches they can do damage with. They do not dramatically change. For the Orioles to become much more free swinging, that must have driven Fuller to leave. So be it. Going forward, they probably need to be somewhere in between the previous two years. In the playoffs, they get pitched to differently. It’s higher intensity. You have to be proficient in putting the ball in play. You have to be able to take what the game gives you, and execute. There is no excuse for repeatedly having runners in scoring position with less than two outs and repeatedly not being able to get them home. Bases loaded, no outs, hitters 2,3 and 4 coming up…we have to score there. The approach was to hit a grand slam. Awful baseball. A ton of talent on this roster, and something has to change.

      Do we agree that developing Kjerstad RF, Holliday 2B and Mayo 1B/DH.......

      By wildcard · Posted

      I have been pretty happy with Kjerstad's defense in the outfield corners.   Not that I want him in left at home.     I agree with what Elias said about Mayo's body type being more suited for 1B.
