He'll be  with Bowie in Harrisburg with me tonight. He is on the Baysox roster as of today.

Watching Baumann throw a no-hitter while throwing 97-98 MPH, with 10Ks and under 100 pitches has been the highlight of the Orioles season for me. One of the most dominating pitching performances I've

I watched his 2nd start and although the results weren't nearly as good as his first outing, I'm not sure if there is another player in the system who is raising his prospect stock as much as Baumann.

Interesting. So, is there a ripple effect at Frederick?   Hall, Sedlock, Bishop, Knight, Lebron.  I guess not if they put Sedlock back into the rotation and keep the others in it.

They should move GrayRod and Rom up to Frederick and then promote Sedlock to Bowie. All of those guys have been dominant in their leagues and of course the pitching in AAA and the majors has been horrid. They need to start being more aggressive promoting pitchers who have put up great numbers.

This makes no sense.

What is going on in AAA and the majors has no bearing on how to handle your prospects in low A ball.

Keep in mind as well that much of what is happening in MLB/AAA is being attributed to the use of the MLB baseball with lower stitching and therefore, less drag.  The low MiLB pitchers with good numbers may see their numbers escalate in a bad way with the baseballs in AAA.

Baumann with four shutout innings in relief tonight - 6 Ks and 0 BB.

I hope Baumann and Sedlock move into the Bowie rotation soon to replace Kremer and Lowther.

 

I think they are managing innings.   Baumann pitching 4 innings of relief a few times is fine.    

As to Sedlock, let’s leave him in Frederick until he shows he’s healthy and pitching as well as he did in May before he was shut down.   Then we can worry about moving him to Bowie.

Do you see a starter's profile though?  I'm much more interested in that than what level of SP. 

You have to squint a little, but you can see it. His changeup is just a show me pitch right now and at his age it's not likely the pitch takes a significant step forward (although not impossible, see: Means, John). His fastball command has improved, but is still probably just fringe average. The curveball has improved in quality if not consistency, that's going to be the pitch that will make or break him as a starter. He needs the pitch for lefties and currently it's not consistent enough. The improvement in the pitch (it appears he's throwing it differently) makes me hopeful the improved feel will come. I think the profile is 4/5 SP or set-up man. With a chance for mid rotation if everything works out and a middle relief floor if the fastball command becomes limiting. 

Last year it was a middle relief profile for me with some risk of not getting there. So huge improvement, full grade. 

Edit: To list the improvements, 3-4 ticks on the fastball and better ride/usage (full grade), half a grade command, half a grade on the slider and curveball (would be a full grade for the curve if it was more consistent)

Baumann's slider is absolutely nasty tonight at 87-91mph. It's been tweaked to be a bit more cutterish and it's really good, plus pitch. The fastball command hasn't been great tonight, 91-94 in the first inning, up to 94-96 in the 3rd.

      I doubt Ortiz will have an 800+ OPS all year but I guess its possible. Right now the trade looks like a win for both teams. Milwaukee of course gets 5 more years after this to fully reap the benefits.

      Probably because of pitch count. Doesn’t change my point.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Robert would be a significant upgrade over Mullins (offensively). Not sure how much of a difference the two have defensively. But as much as I like Mullins, he has been really bad with the bat in his hand for about a season now. Second half of last season and most of the first half of this season. Obviously the issue with Robert is his health/availability, so there would be risk there. But I wouldn't mind if Elias took a swing there, as long as this wouldn't be his only move. I would like to see Elias act bold and decisively this go round (at the deadline). I heard that the CHI SOX wanted a "Soto like" package (that the Nats got for trading him to the Pads) back for Robert. We know that they have a recent history of over asking on players they are in theory willing to trade. Anybody have a guess on what the realistic costs for Robert would be?

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By banks703 · Posted

      This is all correct. And to add to it, If Gunnar only continues being this version of Gunnar, he is out-valued only by the sole two-way player in baseball (Ohtani). So, comparing Soto to Gunnar in a vacuum might make some sense, their situations are vastly different. The closeness of the young guys has been well documented and we know that the group of Adley, Gunnar, Mountcastle, Stowers, Westy and Cowser are all strong in their faith. I do believe that will play some part in the contract finagling. I do not know any of them personally and with the union, the pressure of the sport, endorsements, etc. etc. ... I realize that at the end of the day guys are going to want what they are worth but I have long thought two things about this crop of players: they are incredibly consistent but they also seem to be genuinely good kids who want to win and put the team first. We don't know yet what will happen over the next few years with these players but I wouldn't be surprised to see a version of what the cast of Friends did early in the show's run, where they essentially formed their own union of sorts and structured their compensation so that none of them would become bigger than the sum of their parts. Again, I don't know them personally and I am fully in-tune with the idea that they all want to be paid but I think that their closeness means more to them than Soto's relationship with his teammates in Washington, and I think that holds true with respect to almost literally any other free agent in the history of the game. They are very unique in that they have this young group who are all 23 - 27 right now who are very tight. I happen to think that the stars of this team will be more inclined to consider more team-friendly deals if it means that their posse can stay in-tact for a longer duration of time. Call me naïve but that's how I see it. I've been intimately involved in the game at various levels myself and I can honestly say that I can't remember a group of young players who demonstrated a caring for each other to the same level of these kids. It could mean nothing when Gunnar is being thrown half a billion dollars or when Adley is offered the moon but I just don't see these players being as motivated by money as other (especially recent) stars.  I agree 100% that Gunnar would jump all over that Witt Jr. deal. I think he is smart enough to know that anything could happen over the next five years. Plus $288 million is a shitload of money. I don't know how  many generations of wealth that is but damn that's a lot of money for a soon to be 23 year old kid.

      There is a lot to like and I can't see why nobody would want him but for the possibility that he won't help the team much in October 2024, the cost would probably be an absurd ask.

      I think the focus is going to be on relief pitching.   I don't think any of the guys SG listed would be needed for the types of relievers the O's will be going after.
