Well, it’s not remotely true that he dominated every level.  His MiL ERA is barely below 4 And his BB rate was mediocre.  
 

Hw has good stuff but inconsistent secondaries pitches and iffy command.  
 

He has had a reliever profile for a while but he does have starter upside.

It depends on how you want to evaluate it but if i go Tony’s way of doing it, which is how I would do it and do the “who would I rather have” thing, I’m taking the upside of Baumler.

It’s really hard to compare them.   Baumler’s barely gotten his feet wet.  But you have to like what we’ve seen.   Would be great if he pitched well enough to get up to Aberdeen in a month or so.

He’s baaaack!   Today.  FCL.  One perfect inning.  One strikeout!

I'd just like to point out that 20 year old Dominican, Juan Delosantos finished for Baumler.  6 IP 4 hits, 0 walks, 10 strikeouts.   

Elias has used very few top picks on pitchers.  Baumler is off to a nice start.  Carlos Tavera went 6 1-hit shutout innings tonight with 8 strikeouts.  We have the Latin guys in Delosantos, Chace, and Rangel. Also Ignacio Feliz and Jean Pinto.  We have FA pitchers Noah Denoyer and Ryan Watson.  Justin Armbruster. 

A lot of these guys are future relievers and future flameouts but there is strength in numbers and I think the numbers are not as dire as people think.

I wonder how long they plan to limit him to three innings.  So far in three outings: 9 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 4 BB, 15 K’s.   

Pretty impressive. It seems like his late arrival had more to do with the Orioles organization babying their pitchers than it did with him not being ready for Low-A. Wonder how old he'll be before the Orioles let him pitch 100 innings in a season?

Hall is 23.  His high was in 2018.

2019 - season ended 8/8 due to inhury

2020 - no MiL season

2021 - season ended 6/12 due to injury

What were they supposed to do?

Yeah, his injuries have caused him to miss a lot of time, but the organization has still been very, very cautious with his pitch counts and innings. Not saying they are wrong, but they really need to stretch him out to 100 pitches soon.

As for Baumler, slow start and now 3 innings at a time seems like an overly cautious approach IMHO.

Baumler finally had a hiccup tonight, 2.2 IP, 3 R, 3 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 5 K’s.   The three walks all came in the third inning with nobody out.   Baumler struck out the next hitter and then Blaze Jordan (remember him?) got an RBI groundout.  That was the end of Baumler’s night.  Another run scored with runners on 1st and 3rd when Willems threw out a runner stealing 2B but the other runner beat a return throw home.

As Paul McCartney said " Will you still need me when I'm 64, Will you still be under 109 innings when your 64"?

Good news, bad news on Baumler 2023.  I messaged Eric Garfield on his instagrams (Eric_Birdland22) and asked about Baumler.

He said he’s seen him plenty this spring. Had a cyst removed, appears much bigger in the shoulders and back, and is ramping up for a return in June.  I don’t know if the cyst was related to the shoulder issue that ended his season but it seems like it could be.

Well, glad to hear he’s alive, but sorry to hear his debut will be delayed.  

Baumler was a pure lottery ticket who was a product of that weird 2020 five round draft. There's talent but all he's really done is show Elias why it's so risky giving young pitcher big bonuses. Unfortunately the young man can't stay healthy.

At this point, anything he does professionally will be a bonus.

      Adley's health this season

      Good, he should cry. His performance the last 3 months including playoffs isnt something that gets forgotten easily. Atleast not for me

      By Witchy_Chick · Posted

      I wonder if Adley's issues are something health related but not necessarily an injury per se.  IIRC we all found out in the offseason that Ced was suffering from Crohn's in.......2020?  2021? 🤔  After Ced was pretty dreadful offensively all that season (whichever year it was). I mean something like that could potentially be at play with Adley.  Health issue but not an "injury."  Maybe something that was medically revealed after the HBP? IDK, spitballing here.

      Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?

      I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone.

      I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that.

      I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it.

      They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally.
