You can strike out 30 percent of the time if you walk at the rate he does.  

My concern is that upper cut swing and handling major league velocity up in the zone where they are sure to pound him. 

As I said previously, this is my concern too, based on the one time I’ve seen him play in person.  He whiffed on 5 straight pitches at 95-96 mph above the belt.

Kyle Stowers 2021 (A+ & AA)
 
212 AB, 13 HR, .406 OBP, .537 SLG, .943 OPS, 41 BB, 86K
 
Austin Hays 2017 (A+ & AA)
 
523 AB, 32 HR, .365 OBP, .593 SLG, .958 OPS, 25 BB, 85 K
 
I thought this was an interesting comparison. From what I remember, Austin Hays went on to be a top 100 prospect after his 2017 year. He was only 21 where as Stowers is 23. This comparison also highlights just how much Stowers is striking out as he has already struck out more than Hays did in far fewer at bats. That is offset somewhat by Stowers much better walk rate & OBP.
 
If Stowers is able to finish this season with numbers anywhere near the numbers he has right now, it’ll be interesting to see how well he is regarded in the end of the year prospect rankings.

That is a huge # of strikeouts.  If he played a full season in the majors, he would likely own the record.  At over 40% strikeout rate, he must be near the level that prevents major league success.

He doesn’t have a 40% strikeout rate.   You’re looking at at bats, not PA.  He has 86 K’s in 257 PA = 33% strikeout rate.   Still very high, probably not record setting.

thus far in 2021, your overall strikeout leaders…


NL:

Javy Baez 119/323 = 36.8%
 

AL:

Matt Chapman 114/375 = 30.4%

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
