Jimmy Yacabonis 2018

[OFFNY]

o

 

Yacabonis was very pitch-efficient in the first 4 innings of today's game ........ he threw only 49 pitches and had a solid Strikes-to-Balls ratio in the process (32 Strikes, 17 Balls.)

Unfortunately, he also have up 3 Runs and 5 Hits in the process in that same span.

 

He did do a good job in his 5th and final inning of work, in which he got both Aaron Judge and Didi Gregorius out without ceding a run when there was a runner on 3rd base with less than 2 outs.

 

 

15 OUTS: ) 5 Strikeouts, 4 Groundouts (Including 1 Double Play), 3 Flyouts, 1 Foulout, 1 Lineout

Hopefully he works out as a SP. I still think he could be like Brad Brach. 

[amdcpus]

Looked pretty good IMO. Needs to work on his control though

[Grt 2BA FL Gator]

Yacabonis' AAA numbers are pretty impressive. I feel like we have a handful of AAAA potential starters to  keep trying out the next year or so. Ramirez, Ynoa, Yacabonis, Means, Hess. Maybe one of them can be a #5 or decent long man.

Ramirez probably has the highest ceiling of the bunch. Has a legit out pitch with his plus changeup. Slider flashes average-above average. Fastball is 90-94 with fringey command.

He is a starter in the long run IMO, either a 4 or 5. High floor, low ceiling.

4 solid innings, and then take him out ???

That would be ideal for a team that had a "5 and-a-half man" rotation ........ 6 starters overall, with Yacabonis and one of the other 5 always pitching in the same game (covering 7 or 8 innings between them.)

Its starts like these that foster hopes of following the Rays approach to starting pitching next year.

It was very smart to take him out after the 4th IMO.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Is the goal for Yacabonis to be long relief?  Why lift him after four innings? 

[section18]

I seem to attend every game he starts at OP. At least 3 I know of and I've seen him in relief as well.  Tonight was his best effort.

The coaches will have to evaluate the number of starts he can make in these remaining days with 10 games remaining. I like him and think he can make the rotation next year  He was in the 93-95 mph range every inning and had a number of Ks.  Sleeper pick for 2019 starter role.

I don't understand this either. He was at 64 pitches, but that seems to be the norm with Buck and Jimmy.
