Kyle Bradish 2022

[Tony-OH]

Finally a chance to see Bradish's stuff on Statcast during his spring debu against the Yankees.

1st inning:

4-seam fastball - V movement, 14-15 inches, 0-1 inch H MOV. 97.5 top, 95.7 AVG.
Cutter - Avg-14 V movement, 4 to 5 inches of H mov, top 97.5, avergae screwed up because one misclassified slider
Slider-  37 Vmov, 14 Horizontal, 89 MPH another was 35 vmov, 10 H
Curve - 57Vmov, 6 Hv (12-6) 83.3 MPH

Contact was hard when it was made, including a loud double by Judge and a 109.5 MPH ground out by Stanton

2nd inning:
Fastball - 94.5-97.1
Slider - Had a real good one with over 40 inch of break
Some Cutters

Had a walk, but then got them out 1-2-3.. including a K on a 3-2 slider (called a cutter by statcast)

31 pitches...

I had thought he was likely to start in Triple-A this year, but after giving him the start last night I'm wondering if he has a real shot at being part of the Orioles opening week rotation

I was actually very impressed with the stuff though I really wish he had a change, but the cutter can be affective on lefties.

Everything is hard except for the curve and he seems to be using that as a 4th pitch right now (same as he was his last few starts last season).

I want to see how it plays through five innings, but right now, I think if he can stretch out and keep the stuff he's got a real good chance of starting the year in the rotation. 

I still have concerns about a lack of slow secondary that he can consistent use to keep batters off balance. If everything is 89-97, batters can start to key up on that.

He also gave up some loud contact despite having a decent WHIFF on ptches.

He's definitely not timid.

Good stuff, thanks Tony.

From Roch:

Kyle Bradish threw four simulated innings today at Twin Lakes Park, and his next appearance will come with Triple-A Norfolk.

“We’re going to break him out of here imminently,” Elias said.

Good to know they aren't waiting until May.

During the broadcast yesterday, Elias mentioned that he was done in Florida and was sent to AAA.

Wow. Just a step away from Baltimore. I'm looking forward to his debut later this decade.

Thing is, Bradish already has 21 AAA appearances under his belt.   I think we’ll see him sometime in May or June, unless he takes a step backwards.   Of course, it depends in part on what happens with other guys.

Bradish is getting the start tonight for Norfolk.

It feels to me like Bradish will be the first potentially good starting pitcher recalled.
