Seems like most of the top hitting prospects are in a hitting slump from Low-A on up.

Rutschman: .205/.262/.410/.672, 2 HR, 3-7 BB-K in last 42 PAs (10 games)
Stowers: .179/.233/.282/.515, 1 HR, 3-17 BB-K in 43 PAs (10 games)
Henderson: .103/.167/.179/.346, 1 HR, 3-11 K-BB, 42 PAs (10 games)
Jones:  .160/.222/.280/.502, 2 HR 3-17 K-BB in 55 PAs (15 games) 
Neustrom: .212/.333/.394/.727, 1 HR 6-10 in 39 PAs (10 games)

Prospects doing ok:

Westburg: .250/.362/.500/.862 3 HR, 5-15, BB-K in 47 PAs (10 games)
Haskin: .324/.375/.514/.889 9 HR, 2-7 K-BB in 40 PAs (10 games)

We’ve talked a lot about last years non-existent season and it’s impacts on arms, but I’m wondering if a lot of the hitters are hitting a wall 

Yeah that was my thought. This is the longest season many of these guys have ever seen.

Gunnar’s has been particularly pronounced.   Most of the others just seem like typical variation that occurs over the course of a long year.  

The only good news in Gunnar's stats at Aberdeen was his increased walk rate, but besides a little hot spell in mid July, he's really struggled on offense and defense at Aberdeen. He's young but his results are not what you want to see from a guy you hope is an impact player one day.

Well, two weeks ago I was feeling very optimistic about his bat.   He’d battled all the way up to .800 OPS after a very slow start, so I was very encouraged.  This last stretch has been horrendous but he still has time to get it together again.  

Defensively, I’m more worried.   He’s been erratic to say the least.   It’s not too unusual for a HS kid in his first full season of pro ball, but he’s certainly raising questions about whether he can stick on the dirt.

The good news defensively is that he has plenty of range for a third baseman, can come in good, and has plenty of arm. He just needs to get his hands more consistent and maybe if the Orioles topped jerking him back and forth and let him focus on 3B, he would fine moe consistency.

I’ve added in the last two weeks to see who’s bounced back and who’s still slumping.

      Injuries have sucked, the pen has been an issue but is Adley the biggest problem?

      By MDK02 · Posted

      If you want to see how young superstars should play, look at Churios and Merrill. Both big time contributors to their teams in the post season, both players 20 and 21 years of age. Meanwhile, our Jackson doesn’t even get an AB. Something is just off with this organization and their development..

      I agree with some of the opening post. I cannot blame Hyde for this team not hitting. I believe it is completely analytical based. Analytics are against singles, walks, hit and run or bunts.    I know we can pick our guy to be upset with but I will go with Tony Taters. Adley hit a single to RF and with the right effort and baserunning he should have been on third base. Don’t have to talk about the terrible AB with the bases loaded. There was another play with the Massey single in the second that rubbed me the wrong way. The ball was hit 73 MPH and landed 250 feet. The RF wall is 325 feet away so how far is he playing back against Michael Massey? Tony did not strike me of a guy giving it everything he had to get to a fly ball. He basically assumed Mullins would get it and jogged in.

      Sometimes I regret being an Oriole fan

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I would have taken this loss harder in the past guess I'm getting older. Also this team has been telegraphing for over a half season how this season would end. I don't want to hear stats on how many runs this team scored it's a lineup that lives and dies by the home run. The problem is the weather cools in October and the ball doesn't carry as well in summer at OPACY. The Orioles actually got good pitching, but the offense came up small yet again. Elias needs to rethink the types of hitters he has on the Orioles roster and evaluate the effectiveness of having two hitting coaches. There's even an offensive strategy coach and what exactly does he do? "Hey Adley next time you get up the plate try not to make an out".

      Completely agree and there's no reason the O's shouldn't be a serious player for Soto.  Him and one top starter and I'm happy.

      10/2 Orioles vs Royals Wild Card Game #2

      Add a couple of seasoned professionals who know how to win. Solid players who have been around a while. These young guys are talented for sure, but that’s not enough. They need to learn to play better as a team and know what it takes to win consistently.  I honestly think they get caught up in reading about how good they are, not proving it on the field day after day.

      Except Cruz wasn’t an overpay. He’s the rare older free agent that actually earned his money. By the way, Cruz was the 55th highest paid player when he signed his FA deal after he played for the Orioles. He wasn’t even that expensive.    But that’s just an aside. I understand what you’re saying and your point is valid. I’m just still irked that the Orioles basically punted in that offseason that Cruz walked. I hope they are fiscally brave enough to take the next step and not count on Holliday and Mayo to improve next years team.
