Delmarva Shorebirds "break camp" roster

Might as well post this one too. With the Orioles favoring college players in the draft and most of the high profile international signings not yet ready for prime time, this is the least prospect laden of the full season rosters.

Only Deson and Rangel cracked the OH top 30 and the top 50 adds only Hernaiz.

Pretty shocked to see Hernaiz repeating Delmarva.  Didn't light the league on fire, but held his own their last year. 

Lots of international picks on this roster.  Will be interesting to see what they can do. 

The Bowie and Aberdeen IFs are pretty full.

Once Heston heals, I expect him there. Dan Hammer might move up, but is probably still recovering from injuries (I think TJ last season?)

You don't think he starts at Aberdeen? I guess I could see him getting the Adley tour of Delmarva, but he certainly shouldn't spend much time there.

Nobody else on Delmarva's roster spent any time in big league camp.

Ideally he should split the season between Aberdeen and Bowie based on his draft stock.

Where is Carter Baumler?  Leaving him in Sarasota to rehab?  Thought he was healthy. 

My guess is, since they will be limiting his innings pretty severely, they elected to hold him back a while.

I think they slow him down a little. He probably starts in Delmarva to get some work and then if he shows he can handle it, goes to Aberdeen after a month.

Creed Wilem and  Baumler not making a full season club if healthy drops their prospect rankings. That's very unfortunate. Even if you are monitoring innings you don't leave a guy like Baumler there if he's what he's supposed to be.

Per Melewski, "Pitcher Carter Baumler, who will likely join Delmarva, is still building up innings at extended spring training. He is fully healthy."

They are doing the same thing with him as with DL Hall.   They don’t want him reaching his innings limit for the year in early July.   Makes sense to me.

As to Willems, I think he’s a bit raw and always assumed he’d start in the FCL.   But let’s see where he finishes.

Seems to reflect more on Willems than Baumler based on what they're doing with other highly touted pitchers.

I have a feeling that they're rebuilding Willem's swing a bit. Just a gut feeling. They loved the EVs but the swing might not be conducive to hitting better pitching.

    • Good point, no other metropolitan area has more than one team.
    • Could it be that they allowed the Gnats to reside within 30 minutes of their home. Effectively cutting their market in half? 
    • Got my all-time low rarity score on today's game - 6.
    • 41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .
    • Lol. Here's the funny they know more then you know. Typical Oriole fan who's happy with getting punched in the mouth. 
    • I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.
