Tyler Nevin 2021


Just Regular

Recommended Posts

I noticed yesterday in Norfolk Game 2 he followed in the Mancini/Mountcastle tradition and played I believe about his 3rd career game in RF, with only just 1 error.

I was relatively Glass Half Full on Nevin's AA finish in 2019, and think he has a shot to get a lot of HR/RBI for Norfolk.   He is a High School Class of 2015 demographic like Mountcastle who will need to hit to have a career.   2 HR in first two AAA games good start to maybe keep AAA MVP honors in the organization.

At this point, Santander is clearly not healthy.  They may as well promote Nevin to get regular at bats at DH/OF, while also promoting Jones and DFAing Wilkerson. None of that will injure the rebuild, and the team absolutely SUCKS right now - it's not like things can get worse at the ML level.

This is his first season at the AAA level and it looks like he's having a pretty average year overall. I'd let him finish out the season and see if he can help in September and in April.

I think the fact that the Orioles are terrible means you are even more patient. It's not like someone at the farm can push us into the playoffs.

Tyler Nevin is in Philly, unclear if taxi squad or someone going on IL, etc. 

But man... .704 OPS in AAA with 16 home runs in 439 PA has to be called a relative disappointment yeah?

i think when Hyde had to use a pitcher to hit in a critical spot last night tht said you need another bat on the roster.

So the day AFTER the bullpen game where they needed a deeper bench for pinch hitting, they are going to add a hitter to the roster.   Probalby send down one of the pitchers who pitched a lot yesterday and is unavailable today anyway.

Last week, looks like he got all five of his starts in the field at 3B.

For the year he is about one-third each 1B/3B/OF.   With Mountcastle settling in, and SportsGuy's whispers about extra cheap, could we be fixing to Ty Wigginton it up next April?

I was rooting for him to get a September 3B appearance against the Yankees to be next to his dad.

Depends on the year and the league.   There’s more offense-friendly ballparks in the AAA West than the East.   For this year, AAA East is .745, West is .814.   I’d say that spread is pretty typical for what it used to be in the International League vs. Pacific Coast League.  The numbers in both leagues jumped in 2019 when they started using the major league ball.

He hasn't had a great season in AAA. And I don't really see him as piece going forward...but, I wouldn't mind him getting a chance at 3B for the next 10 games. What's the worst that could happen? He causes us to lose and get the top pick? Lets see Jones, Nevin, and Martin in the infield the last 10 games. It's not much of a sample size, but at least see them. They're all amongst a large number of players that could conceivably lose their 40-man spot this offseason (some more likely than others).

    • Regarding Cooper, he was a fantastic pitching coach for a long time, but the game simply passed him by.  Near the end of his tenure, after a tough season Giolito actually went and worked with Ethan Katz (our current pitching coach and his former HS pitching coach) and he came back new and improved.  Katz also got a ton of credit for developing Cease and getting Rodon to finally tap into his potential. A year ago I would have been high on Katz, but last year was such a disaster that I’m not sure what to think.  It’s clear he’s got a much more modern take on pitching than Cooper, but I also think the org in general is so behind the times when it comes analytics & biometrics that there is only so much he can do.  We don’t have a single voice driving an org wide pitching philosophy (which is evident in our PD system) or much of a pitching lab to get the most out of guys.  Hopefully that will change for the better with the addition of Brian Bannister. All that being said, I don’t believe for a second we get all we can out of our guys.  Katz obviously helped Giolito, Cease, & Rodon improve but these were all elite prospects acquired from other orgs.  We still struggle to unlock the next tier of guys, although I blame that on broader organizational issues than purely Katz.
    • I love this.  Most fans that go to the game live within 45 minutes of the ballpark I would suspect.  The good thing is you can get home by 10:00 most evenings.  
    • I selfishly don't like it, I'm a displaced fan in the central time zone.  5:30 weeknight start times are rough for me, the games are usually over before I get home from the office.  But they should make decisions based on the people who might actually go to the games. 
    • That's something that can only be determined in hindsight.  Lots of options and lots of flexibility this offseason to really set the team up for the next 2-3 years.  I'm very curious to see how it plays out.  Checking my crystal ball, I don't see Aroldis Chapman anywhere on the program
    • I agree and I don't want him on the team.  But I'm not sure this specific moment is more critical than say, when he picked Gunnar Henderson in the second round.
    • Perhaps he looked and doesn’t have the dough to spend or wants to part with the asking price for Cease or 1 year of the other guys rumored available. 
    • Spin rates and stuff like that are very good.               Eno Sarris   @enosarris · Follow I'm hearing that Naoyuki Uwasawa will be posted soon by his NPB team. His K rates haven't been amazing in Japan, but he has some interesting characteristics to his stuff. His fastball vertical movement (19 IVB) and spin (2650 RPM) would be top 5-10% percent in the league. 12:30 PM · Nov 22, 2023   245   Reply   Share
