He didn't set the world on fire in his AAA debut, but it wasn't quite as bad as his line looks. He continues to have problems controlling his fastball, which he frequently elevates. His delivery has a

This kid got a lot of hype from Matt Blood and others during the offseason.   He lived up to it in his first outing at Bowie today: 4.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K’s.  47 of 72 pitches for strikes.  

Reading the scouting reports on him - he might be the most disagreed on prospect the O's have.  Some say he's just an organizational player, and others think he can be a middle of the rotation starter.  Sounds like it comes down to his command.

The video on his outing was all jacked up where it would slow down and speed up at times making a very hard to see the movement and velocity. The curveball looked good from what I saw but we kinda knew that coming into the year. I didn't hear any velocity comments from the announcers and i got frustrated with the crappy MiLB video problems so didn't want the rest of the game.

Was throwing his FB 94-96, topping out at 97 according to the Bowie gun. Nice bend on his CB, 81-85. Didn’t seem to go to his CU too often. Delivery has good deception, with a big back bowing that almost had a Palmer-like look to it. Seems like a hard delivery to control, and he threw a few pitches that missed by a lot. Hitters has a hard time squaring up on him. CB is a good strikeout pitch and he seemed comfortable throwing it in any count. Looked like a guy who could be effective out of the bullpen if it doesn’t work out as a starter. But didn’t lose any speed in his outing and hitters looked no more comfortable after seeing him the first time around. Nice outing.

Were you at the game or did you get this from the MiLB broadcast?

From the broadcast. They were calling out pitch speeds pretty consistently. 

Thanks, I missed the beginning of the game and have not have an opportunity to go back and watch it yet. Please feel free to continue to put this kind of stuff out when you watch games. The more eyes and ears the better! Appreciate it.

10 Ks thru 4.

Naturally doing that in 69 pitches means your night is over.

Unless some fresh roster rules get cooked up, I think the Next Good Orioles team perhaps skips past the 1-tick modification to a Quality Start is 5 IP/2 ER, and just goes ahead to a 4 IP/1 ER target.

He gave up a couple of hard hit balls, and had a little bit of command trouble at times, but I'm nitpicking a guy who struck out 10 in 4 innings and has yet to surrender a run in three starts. What stood out in this start vs his prior start was his slider. It's a swing and miss pitch, as is the curve. His fastball was mid 90's again. Very encouraging, but I'll pump the brakes a bit on my comment about moving him to AAA. He is clearly better than anticipated though. Personally, I like him more than Lowther, Zimmerman, Akin, Wells.

26 SO's in 13.2 innings is reasonably good.  He'll turn 25 in September.  

He really could move to AAA any time, but I think he’ll get 2-3 more AA starts before the O’s consider such a move.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      Adley is having a down year. I believe he will bounce back.

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I admire those of you who have such confidence in this offense. It’s been absolutely terrible for months, other than the last week of the season. It was beyond terrible yesterday- yes Ragans was good but the approach was awful by every hitter. I’ll be thrilled for them to prove me overly pessimistic, but I have zero faith in these bats.  This is at least partially a defense mechanism. I am not ready for the baseball season to be over, and another terribly quick exit from the postseason would just be so dreadful. I don’t need them to win the WS. But winning one GD game would be nice. Not looking forward to six months without baseball.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By waroriole · Posted

      You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel to defend Hyde. If Santander’s defense costs us, it means we got to extra innings and pinch running for OHearn was the right call. Also, are you really trying to say that OHearn is so valuable a defender at 1B that we couldn’t stand to lose that glove in extras? I doubt he’s even better than Santander.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?
