1:26 the best change up ever thrown by a teenager - 80mph followed by 96 heat for back to back swing & misses after falling behind 2-0. 

 

  

To my unexpert eye, it looked like the delivery was very similar on both of those pitches.  Good stuff.

There are 350 some 19 year old pitchers in affiliated ball. Grayson has thrown the 8th most innings of that group.

As always, this is more important than the box score (although he's still doing well there). Fastball velocity was down last start and was right back up this morning. We got ourselves a good one.

He wasn't sharp with location, but showed some poise. Tough to start with a guy on second base (something he's never done) in a tie game and face 3 hitters who are all at least 3 years older. 

Pure laziness on my part, but this was a question I had when looking at Hall and Rodriguez’s outings... how old are they compared to the rest of the players on these rosters? I’d always thought Futures was for guys who may be breaking into the league by the end of next season. Both of ours are at minimum 2+ years away.

There are plenty of young players on the roster, I believe Grayson was the 4th or 5th youngest out of 50. DL Hall was like 16th or 17th youngest.

Rodriguez had his wildest outing of the season. 6 walks in 5 innings, but he only allowed 2 hits and 1 run. Those 6 walks account for more than 25% of all of his walks so far this season, so hopefully this is just an outlier. 

3 of the walks came in the third inning.

From an article describing recent changes in Fangraphs’ prospect rankings:  

Quote

 

Grayson Rodriguez, RHP, Orioles (45+ FV to 50 FV):
Rodriguez has developed a changeup pretty quickly and has closed the gap in technical skill and pitchability that caused us to slot him behind fellow 2018 draftees Cole Winn and Matthew Liberatore.  

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/we-adjusted-several-prospects-rankings/

They currently have him ranked 93rd.

I will be rooting for us to hire Josh Tomlin as a developmental coach whenever he's finished trying to fool MLB hitters.  They are such strange bedfellows but I just love that change up reports like this are coming, and figure their collaboration is partly responsible for it.

Fireballing Texas HS with a change up ranked backend Top 100 now is a profile that mostly only needs health to climb.  24 more months of health is inherently a longshot for any pitcher, but that is most of all that is between him and a Top 50 ranking a year from now, and a Top 20 ranking another year after that.  I don't really believe Texas has anything to do with that, but not sure all Texans I know would agree.

I'm very content with FB/CH being the draws in first year out of high school, but look forward to breaking ball emergence stories next year.

The slider is better than the changeup.

      Of course I’ll be watching. Filled with dread in all likelihood. As will most of us.  LOL.

      Very interesting to read through this. Full of optimism…those were good times. Turns out I voted 91-94. Such pessimism…grrr…and even that was too little. Several of the posters should run out and buy lottery tickets because they are definitely prescient.

      With Urias and Westburg back in the lineup...

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      During all the hullabaloo about the team floundering, way too little was said about fundamental baseball judgement and defense. In a game a couple days ago, a guy came up to bat with runners on. This guy is all speed and defense, with no power, and bunted for a single. The radio guys pointed out that with a bunt threat at the plate, the defense moves in to anticipate the bunt, but this wasn’t done. He barely beat out the throw. Even two steps in from the defense would have been the difference. Little flubs like that happen CONSTANTLY, and don’t count as errors, but good teams avoid them without even thinking. The OF collision two days ago. Why did that happen? It shouldn’t have, and wouldn’t have with a good team, yet we’ve had at least three, two of which resulted in serious injury. Westburg and Urias are both solid players with solid fundamentals. Even if they don’t blaze away at the plate, they haven’t forgotten their defense, and we can hope that will be enough to get us to 90 wins.

      I was just reading my unread posts in the thread, and didn’t notice that your post was a week old.   And I don’t consider that I called you out.  The post sort of read like the outcome of the playoffs was so certain that there was no point in watching, so I was ribbing you about it.  Nothing personal intended. I have a feeling you’ll be watching!

      I was expecting Boston to be last and NY to be fourth…I never expected the Jays to be as bad as they’ve been, and the Rays are always good.

      Fewer than 3% of our posters thought the O’s would win under 90 games this year.  They can still win 90, but it will take a 4-3 finish or better to do it.
