Is he becoming a “prospect” again? He’s off to a great start in Bowie. 1.42 ERA over 5G 3GS 19IP 26SO. 
 

Did he just need to get out of Frederick?  He had been there since 2017. He’s been around forever, but he’s still only 24. 
 

The short answer is yes. He looks like a completely different guy. He's commanding two pitches (fastball 96-97, t98 and a 79-81 curveball) and can throw the hard change 89-91 decently armside and low. He's all around the plate right now and throws very little uncompetitive pitches. 

I've honestly never seen a guy change as much as he had since I wrote him off years ago due to command problems. It's actually shocking. He stays within his delivery now consistently and gets a lot of swing and miss on all three pitches.

He's a great little story and will get a big jump onto the prospect power rankings.

Certainly an encouraging report.

Always important to remember that not all prospects develop linearly.  Chris Tillman was the big lesson for that for me.  I had basically written him off and then he became the anchor of the rotation for several years.  If Peralta can become even a good bullpen arm that would be huge.

Weather permitting, I will be at the Baysox game tonight!  And it looks like Peralta will be the starter.    He is the 17th ranked O's prospect as per the Hangout rankings.

4 starts in Bowie so far this year.  24.2 IP,  32 K's, 2.55 ERA, and a 1.176 WHIP to this point.  Will report on what I see with him and whatever hitters I can.

Yeah, don’t think we’ll like that report on Peralta much.   But at least you got an Adley dinger!

What a game.  Lot of craziness.  Left after 10 pm after the 7th inning.  Lots of scoring and there was a super long delay from a fan getting hit with a foul ball and then carried out on a stretcher. 

Peralta:

Unfortunately i didnt locate the radar gun until after he was removed.  He struggled with control and the contact off of him was pretty loud.  Really disappointing.  Also, i saw him loosen his belt and act like he was going to take his pants off when the umps came to check him on his way out for foreign substances.....so i guess that is a world we live in now.

Rutschman:

Looked impressive.   Obviously the HR in the first was amazing.  He had another deep fly ball that almost went out....and he had a lined shot towards the 3-4 hole that i believe the 1b was able to stab.  Saw him throw out a runner too.

Welk and Stowers also presented themselves well.  Welk showed real patience at the plate.  Stowers made great contact.

Luis Perez let up most of the damage other than Peralta.  He looked good early but then in his 3rd inning of work i guess it was....the wheels came undone super fast.  Then his replacement came in and struck out the side.

All in all i had a really nice time and hope to go back again this year.  We will have to see.

Thanks for the recap. I’ve been pretty disappointed in Welk because of all the errors. Good to hear he looked at the plate. 

Plus the lack of power. Can't be a poor defensive 3B and not hit for power.

Peralta has now had a couple of bad starts of late. I'm going to have go back and see if he's coming out of his delivery again or what because earlier in the season he was repeating nicely. wonder if something is bothering him? Also wonder if a move to the pen might be in his best interest.

Obviously, a lot of these pitchers won’t end up making it in any role, much less a starter.

However, the bullpen is extremely important, especially in today’s game and I would like to see the Os start to develop some power BP arms.

He throws mid 90's as a starter so he's probably high 90's if developed exclusively for the bullpen.   I think he would get claimed.       I believe he was Rule 5 eligible and even possibly a 6 year minor league FA last year.   I believe he can claim FA if the O's don't put him on the 40 man.

Thanks. My guess is the O's will want to add him then.

      Orioles ZiPS are out

      By now · Posted

      With a previous post in this thread I highlighted a selection of notable or memorable comps for our current Orioles. Now I wonder what it would look like to compare our best roster (from that selected list, in order of WAR) with the corresponding squad of not-all-stars.   Without further ado, here's our team alongside its historic counterparts: LF    Norby        Eugenio Suarez CF    Mullins        Kevin Kiermaier RF    Cowser        Ken Singleton 1B    Mayo        Bill Melton 2B    Holliday    Arky Vaughan SS    Ortiz        Jose Pagan 3B    Henderson    Bill Madlock C    Ruthschman    Ted Simmons DH    Westburg    Robby Thompson     Bench    Mateo        Greg Gagne     SP1    Bradish        Justin Verlander SP2    Kremer        Johnny Cueto SP3    Rodriguez    Jose Berrios SP4    Povich        Jarrod Washburn     SP5    Irvin        Scott McGregor RP1    Pham        Jeff Samardzija RP2    McDermott    Steve Renko RP3    Vespi        Graeme Lloyd RP4    Baker        Matt Albers Closer    Bautista    Trevor Hoffman Oddly enough, it's the starting rotation that appears the strength of our team of doppelgangers.

      Lucas Giolito on waivers?

      By Chicago White Sox · Posted

      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.

      2024 Start Times

      By accinfo · Posted

      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.

      2024 Start Times

      By Big Mac · Posted

      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.

      Closer carousel, and....how badly would Aroldis feel?

      By 24fps · Posted

      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.

      Naoyuki Uwasawa Offer Being Prepared?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      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.
