I mentioned him in a previous thread, but keep an eye on him.

23rd round 2019 selection from Ole Miss and was (is?) a starter but has been piggybacking Zach Peek the last 6 or so games.

Tonight, he went 4.2 innings and only allowed 1 hit, 0 runs, 0 walks and 7 strike outs, earning the save.

This follows up a few similar games where he went 4 innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 0 walks, 4 k's and 4 innings, 0 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk and 7 k's, respectively.

He's had a few rough games here and there, but overall has been as consistent as you want from an A ball pitcher.

At 23 out of the SEC he should probably be doing that at Aberdeen, but with the missed 2020 season it is tough to fault players for being too old for their level. There are only so many roster spots and innings to go around in the low minors and lots of guys are pitching well.

Roth, Ignacio Feliz and Ryan Watson (23 year-old 2020 senior sign out of Auburn) all have sub 1 WHIPs in piggybacking roles. Delmarva is piggybacking all their starters, no pitcher on the roster has more than 70 percent of their appearances as starts.

Yeah, the missed season probably hurt. But for a 23rd rounder, can’t really complain.

Between the missed season and getting rid of a team, it hurts some of these guys.  Otoh, I have to think every team is going through this and perhaps the average age will be higher throughout the individual leagues this year, so the numbers don’t look as enhanced as they normally would.

In the month of July, he was 4-0 in 5 games with 2.35 ERA, 14 hits, 6 runs, 6 walks and 19 strike outs in 23 innings. Opponents hit .175 against him. 4 of these runs came in 1 game. During the first 3 games, he followed Zack Peek. The last 2, he started and went 9.1 innings with 5 hits, 1 run, 4 walks and 6 strike outs.

I have to go video scout a few of his starts and take a look.

FB 87-92 T 93
Curveball mid to low 70s, loopy.
Slider 80, occasional good bite but not great
Change not a lot of command, some fade 

Mostly below average stuff overall, but able to have some success at the lower level due to having four pitches. He'll have to prove it as each level on his way up.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I'm kind of rooting for not McCann, nothing about the individual player but I think the Sarasota backup catcher's prominence is the main leading indicator we'll get this winter of the 2025 Samuel Basallo strategy. I hope after living through 2 Octobers of Grayson Rodriguez and Jordan Westburg and Heston Kjerstad and Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo arguably being under seasoned for their first pennant races that Basallo can have the Adley timeline instead of the 44 active roster days. In 2026 EBJ can put up a very gaudy SB number coming off his 44 active roster days that should play well for that year's RoY competition key to sustaining a large supply of Griff O'Ferrall's for the pipeline.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      In the next 8 games and in the playoff who do you trust more at SS?  Holliday or Liv Soto?

      Wells now at 1-for-18 and 6-for-40 last 7 and last 14 days - the rookie wall comes for many.    Next week I think still means something for the competition. It is kind of a big deal tactically if Wells, still mostly hitting cleanup, is in a bad patch or tuckered out, and opponents can tread very carefully around the big guys. I mean, Juan Soto's OBP isn't even .500, so you get him out a little over half the time, walk the other one, and then your pitchers and defense are playing against the other 7/9ths of the lineup. Would I walk Aaron Judge 2 outs, nobody on, in the 1st inning with Austin Wells on deck?    That would really give the voting sportswriters some narratives to zoom in on.     Maybe I don't want to reveal if that is my strategy this month though.

      I would bring McCann back on a one year deal

      It is powerfully convenient to say Ryan, but in the next couple few weeks we'll get our last view of O'Hearn v. Mountcastle, which the Cowser-like PA portion necessary for Coby Mayo's RoY candidacy needs solved. Mountcastle's right handedness and willing to put on a Powerpuff suit I think gives him the edge heading down the final stretch.    I believe Mountcastle is probably also a better 1B partner for Mayo as they have some kind of Lee May-Eddie Murray job share early next season. The 2025 lineup transitions are I think limited to Basallo for the backup catcher (and then he'll squeeze the 1B/DH duo), and if Mullins can sustain himself as a superior option to Fabian/EBJ for another October. This time next year I'm hopeful the injury gods are kind and Adley, Basallo, Mountcastle, Holliday, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, Mullins, EBJ, Kjerstad and Basallo are 11 individuals monopolizing all of the Orioles plate appearances at least four more Octobers.    I believe Mountcastle is nearer to the "Elias Generation" group of players heart, so he'll get an edge on Hays and O'Hearn when push really comes to shove as the #RisingTide starts to crest. Will O'Hearn's option give value to rate another Gregory Soto type decent reliever in trade?
