Jean Pinto 2022

[RZNJ]

After a so so first start and after giving up 2 runs in the first inning, Jean Pinto was 2021 Pinto tonight.   He struck out 8 of the last 10 hitters, with the other two being a single and a groundout.   8 strikeouts and 2 runs in 4 innings.  3 hits and 1 walk.

Another 8 strikeout outing for Pinto in 4 IP tonight, but he coughed up 3 ER too.   He’s certainly missing some bats.

It's a mixed bag but two straight starts with 8K's and 1 walk in 4 IP.   I'd say there are enough good signs not to be too concerned with the high ERA at this point.

Feliz piggy backed him again tonight and he had 10 Ks in 4 innings.  That’s some serious stuff from those 2.

He’s given up 10 hits & 5 bbs in 10 innings so far this year.  2 of those hits are 2 run Homers accounting for 4 of his 9 runs given up.  He’s struck out 19 in those 10 innings.  The stuff looks good, once he starts to command it better I think he will be a force.  I think he is going to have a very successful year.

We haven't gotten a good angle on him this yet and unfortunately, the Carolina League has some of the worse team broadcasts. Missing bats is always a good thing but I do wonder if he's missing with that fastball when it comes to the homers. 

Hopefully we'll get some good camera angles soon with him.

Pinto had a very pitch-efficient outing last night, getting through 5 innings in only 59 pitches, 42 for strikes.  He allowed 2 ER on 4 hits and a walk, striking out 4.  He ran into trouble in the fourth inning, allowing a walk, a single, a double steal (including a steal of home), and a run-scoring double.   He got into a little trouble in the fifth too after yielding two singles to start the inning, but induced a DP and another ground out to finish his outing.

Solid outing for Pinto tonight, 4 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K’s.   He only threw 57 pitches, 39 fir strikes.  I was a bit surprised they didn’t send him out for the 5th inning, but maybe they wanted to give Feliz the five innings tonight.

Pinto struggling this year, and again tonight.  Anyone seen him and have an opinion on what's going on?

Pinto is on the 7 day IL.   Could be Covid or maybe there's a reason why he was not the guy we saw last season.   We saw some flashes early in the season with big strikeout numbers but then he was just bad.   We have a lot of pitchers at all levels on the 7 day IL.   Brandon Young, Raul Rangel, and Pinto just to name 3.

Rom Just came back as well. The few pitching prospects we have seem to banged up.

Pinto came off the IL and pitched 3 innings last night, allowing 1 run on 3 hits and a walk, with one strikeout.  Not an overwhelming performance, but glad to see him back on the mound.  

[Frobby]

Good night for Pinto: 4 shutout innings, 1 hit, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts.  

[EdwinRip]

Another pretty good night for Pinto: 4 innings pitched with 4 hits, 1 earned run, 0 walks and 4 strike outs.

[Frobby]

Four shutout innings for Pinto today, 1 hit, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts.  ERA to 4.11.  

For June: 20 IP, 3 ER, 14 H, 4 BB, 20 K’s, 1.35 ERA, 0.90 WHIP.

Really, he has pitched very well from April 27 forward except for one real stinker on May 21 where he allowed 7 runs in 3 IP.   After that game he went on a short IL stint, so that one bad outing may have been injury related.  

The O’s have handled him gingerly this year.  Pulled today after 62 pitches despite cruising.
