Carter Baumler is an overslot who people did not think was signable. The Orioles reportedly will be able to sign all of their draft picks, which tells me they have agreements. What a steal as a 5th rounder. They call him a more athletic Zack Greinke.
Baumler brings a 92-94 fastball with a clean, athletic delivery with good spin rate that will up in the zone. Missed time due to mono but some believe he has as much if not more potential than the top two high school arms taken.
This is a
Watched this game. Holy crap, if Trevino isn't hurt, they have a glaring weakness when he's back there. Soto and Judge are who they are, but that team does not worry me much, lineup wise. If their pitching holds, makes them legit, of course, but we just introduced Zach Wheeler to reality. Really looking forward to heading into the Bronx.
I was looking forward to, and then highly disappointed, in Jax's promotion and flop (He'll be back, and he'll be fine). Glad to see Norby come up and hit a bomb. But Coby? Ohhhhhh, Coby's Glaus-like potential injected into this lineup drains the blood from my rational brain and engorges my murders-row fantasies.
Jose Trevino's throwing has gone down the toilet. He allowed 9 SBs including a couple where he couldn't get a grip on the ball.
It looks like the NYY pitchers weren't doing him any favors but his pop time is one of the worst in the league. With Gunnar, Westburg, Mateo, and Mullins we could do some damage on the base paths if Trevino's catching. Wells and Trevino split time so we should get at least 1 game with him.
