Adley Rutschman 2019

[TINSTAAPP]

Rutschmann has seen 11 pitches in his eight plate appearances. It must have been killing him waiting so long to get his pro career started because he's been uncharacteristically very aggressive at the plate.

That isn't true. On Gameday, they don't track individual pitches at the GCL level, so every at-bat shows as either one pitch (ball in play or HBP), three pitches (strikeout), or four pitches (walk).

Thanks. Had no idea they didn't track pitches in the lower leagues.

Everywhere above the GCL they do.

It would be nice to think Prizina got through 6 innings with 9 strikeouts and no walks on 40 pitches, all 40 strikes, as the box score indicates. But somehow I doubt it.

Rutsch is DH'ing and batting fourth.

Shouldn't this be moved to the minors section?

Yes. I can't do it, but perhaps @weams or another mod will slide this to the Minors forum.

[Greg Pappas]

Rutsch grounded out to 1B in his first at bat and walked in his second at bat.

Eh what’s the harm in keeping it here?  He is the Orioles at this point.

Learning from Mountcastle how to take a walk.  Baby steps.

It's been moved to the Minors forum as of about half an hour ago.

Whatever.  It is Orioles talk to me.

Not sure when this came out, but just saw BA has Adley as the 5th best prospect in MLB on their new top 100

I'm glad to follow Rustchman very closely, but if there is going to be a major league board and a minor league board, then Rutschman belongs on the latter.   I was fine with putting information about his first game on the main board, since the fact that he was finally playing was big news.    But the day in and day out of our minor leaguers belongs on the minors board.
