To Tony’s point about backdoor cutter, here was location of all Povich pitches yesterday. I would think quite unusual to backdoor so many cutters against RHHs (vs jamming on the hands which he did sporadically) while also predominantly working curveball backdoor as well. Compare to cutters from other LHPs like Crochet, Cortes, Fried, Tyler Anderson where heatmaps show inside bias. Povich went there more so with his four seamer. The other thing to notice is how Povich worked basically all over parts of the zone (compare to Burnes heatmaps where he essentially is never up and away). It’s only one start, so will be interested to see how pitch mix and location evolves for Povich. -

Yea. I think what you and most others said was something to the effect of, he can play there if you need him to but you don’t really want him there everyday. In the SSS we saw here last year, I felt that opinion was correct but again, it was a SSS, so I tried not to put more weight in that than what most evaluators were saying. But I do think we all tend to forget, at times, that young players aren’t finished products and if they choose to put the work in, they will get better. This is my stance on Holliday going to SS. I am not disagreeing with people who doubt his arm or something like that. Where I disagree is acting like he’s a finished product at age 20. Now, he may very well be because maybe he doesn’t put the time and effort into things that he should and because of it, he won’t reach his defensive ceiling. I just tend to doubt that with that kid. -
As far as baseball stats go, EV allowed reaches a significant sample (r >= 0.7) pretty quickly, at around 40 BIP, and stays more or less in that range over quite a long period. It fluctuates oddly when you go beyond a sample of 40, but it remains fairly close to that 0.7. There aren't many stats that show better reliability in baseball. -
Schmidt went down for 4-6 weeks and he had been a solid reliever, but he’s the only one. And Cole starts a rehab assignment today so could be back within two weeks. yay… -
Also Clarke Schmidt had been having a breakout season and hit the IL with lat strain. Won't throw for 4-6 weeks. Though fitting for their rotation this year, the journeyman they called up has done well in a couple starts since. -

Can Orioles player development please get Coby Mayo, Samuel Basallo and Thomas Sosa together for a side by side picture? He's within 9 of Beavers for the Baysox wRC+ lead. I have ragged on John Henry's organization a lot since he prioritized margins over Mookie Betts' legacy, but Roman Anthony near Basallo on the Eastern League's youngest/best filters is looking like a nice player. Anthony and Kyle Teel give Boston an echo of a Gunnar-Adley kind of pair after rookie integration taxes get paid in 2025. -
