Jimmy Yacabonis 2018

[sportsfan8703]

5 scoreless innings last night for Norfolk. He’s been yanked around a little this year. He looks like he has the stuff to succeed at the mlb level, he just hasn’t gotten the results. 

What’s everyone thoughts on him so far as a Starter with Norfolk?  Does he have a started windup and repertoire?

Saw the box score on this too and thought it was interesting, I don't know much just like to follow the guys on the farm and know names to watch for. Will be interested to hear more on this experiment if any of our more knowledgeable sources chime in, if they have anything on it.

Honestly, I was shocked. Not because I think he is bad, but he went 5 in his second start. No runs is also great.

But, it was 1 game. If he continues and does well, while getting his control issues figured out, he could be a viable swingman/long man/emergency starter. Ceiling would be 5th starter.

But again, this was 1 game. But it's a huge positive to look at.

As for as windup and repitoire...

I'll leave that to @Luke-OH. He is better at that stuff than me.

IMO he doesn’t have the repertoire, windup, or command to start. Maybe he flashes a good change in side sessions, I don’t know. I think rotation need has caused the Orioles to make less than ideal decisions with some pitching prospects. For example, I think Hess would be a useful part of the Orioles bullpen by now if he had been converted a year ago.

Another solid 5 inning start last night. If they’re stretching him out, why only let him throw 65 pitches? What is their plan with him?

[VaBird1]

I wonder if they figure stretching guys out allows guys to work on command, third pitches, etc while also preparing them to be multiple inning relievers in the Majors.  I don’t know if that is a good idea or not, but it fits with some of the things they say in public.

I was pleasantly surprised. His stuff looks good. Just needs to get stretched out and increase his stamina. 

[Lucky_13]

He does have one high effort delivery though

Almost like he’d be better in relief or something.

So far Ramirez is more effective today than Yacabonis.
