Last year, when they used the MLB ball and the run scoring environment was way up, yeah, I think that's pretty good.

Those are good points. What to the predictive and promotive statistics say about him as a major leaguer?

I don't know.   But I do know that I don't think a righty with an 89 MPH and decent secondary pitches can last long in MLB.   As I said in another post, that type of guy can look pretty good in preseason when guys are just going up to get hacks.   He can paint the corners and they'll swing at some junk.   Once the season is on and guys go into games with serious scouting reports on the opposition he'll be forced to throw more strikes and will probably be hit pretty hard.

Certainly there is some sort of "+" analytic tracking against the rest of the league that would take care of that argument.

Eshelman 2019 at AAA.

  3-2    3.92 ERA  11 G, 10 S,   64.1 IP,  66 H,  12 BB, 51 SO,  1.213 WHIP

That's almost absurdly misleading.  You forgot to mention that in 2019 he also:

Allowed 22 runs in 28 innings at AA Reading.
Had a 4.70 ERA in 38.1 innings in Norfolk.
Allowed 7.75 R/9 in Baltimore.

So overall he allowed nearly five runs a game in the minors and almost eight in Baltimore.  His composite line across all levels was 82 runs allowed in 129 innings, good for 5.72 runs/nine.

Do you consider that a good AAA season?

I don't feel real good about LeBlanc, Milone, Wojo, Stewart, Valdez or Eshelman.   For me, considering what the O's have to pick from Eshelman is right in there with the rest of them.

The only thing stat his MiL career that looks remotely promising is his BB rate.

But overall, there is nothing in his profile that should make anyone think he is much more than a AAAA player.

 

Making him our #2 starter for 2020? Or #3? Or #1, with Means out and Cobb always just a blister away.

(vs. MARLINS, 8/04)

 

Eshelman faced 11 batters, and got 10 outs.

He ceded 1 solo Home Run over 3.33 innings Pitched.

He Walked 1, and recorded 1 Strikeout.

 

Overall, it was a good job of eating innings in what was very likely going to be a team loss when he entered the game.
