Raul Rangel 2022

I really liked what Raul Rangel did in the FCL last year and have him pegged as a breakout candidate this year a la Jean Pinto last season.  

He got knocked around a bit in his first outing at Delmarva but had a great three inning start tonight, allowing an unearned run on one hit and one walk while striking out six.   

Keep an eye on this kid.

Rangel and Chace.   Two teenagers looking good early on.    Oriole minor league pitchers certainly know how to rack up strikeouts.

Both Chace and Rangel along with Luis Ortiz signed in July 2019.  Chance and Rangel got somewhere between $150,000 and $200,000

Ortiz got the biggest bonus, $400,000 but he struggled last year in Florida.  I assume he'll be back in Florida.

All 3 were high profile signees at the time.

Orioles haven't had a high profile pitcher signee since that class.  They choose to spend on hitters.  Same way they run their draft.

I noticed that Rangel is now listed on the IL. Hopefully nothing serious and might explain his uneven start to the season.

Yeah, someting wasn't right there. It's never a good sign for a young pitcher to pitch poorly then go on the IL though.

You're right.  Could be his shoulder.  Or an oblique.  Or thoracic outlet syndrome.  Or a hamstring...  🙂

 

It certainly could be some type of ankle/leg injury that they thought he could pitch through or that he didn't mention right away. His first start was not good, then 3 strong innings,  then another clunker.  Could be anything but I'll go 50/50 on arm injury vs. Something groin or leg related.

Rangel is back in action today, starting for the FCL Orioles.   Glad to see that, apparently, his injury was nothing serious.

Good news.   I hope he makes it back to Delmarva soon.

The good news.  He went 1.2 IP and struck out 2.  The bad news.  He only went 1.2 IP and walked 2 and hit 2 batters.   Hopefully, just rust.

The second inning was pretty comical.  
- Walk

- HBP

- Walk

- Strikeout

- HBP (run scores)

- Strikeout

(pitching change)

- Wild pitch (run scores)

- Strikeout

The third pitcher of the game also managed to allow 2 runs without yielding a hit.  So far the Braves have 4 runs on 1 hit in this game.

    • I see a playoff team with maybe the same expectations the 2023 team had going into the season. Possibly being picked to finish between 2nd and 4th in our division.     SP - Eflin, Grayson, Big Al, Kremer, Povich McDermott in AAA. Bradish and Means back in the 2nd half????  Wells too? RP - Bautista, Cano, Dominguez, Soto, Coloumbe, Webb, Perez, Akin 1B - Mountcastle DH - O’Hearn 2B - Holliday 3B - Westburg SS - Gunnar C - Adley LF - Cowser CF - Mullins RF - Kjerstad Bench - Mateo, Urias, backup C, RH OF or Mayo Basallo up mid season This is us baby.  We are who we are.  The only way to get experience is to actually get experience. Sorry to Brad Fuller maybe our “vet” can be a former player as hitting coach.  Carlos Beltran or Bonds.  
    • I would love to sign any hitters who have actually experienced postseason success and wins.....maybe even championships.  Gurriel for KC has been a part of a lot of postseason wins and having veterans on the team like that are valuable.  I saw somewhere the KC guys said they really benefitted from having Gurriel, Pham, Sal Perez, and others who have been there and done that.  Continuing to rely on young players with nothing but zeroes on their postseason resumes isn't helpful.   I heard Francona is going to manage the Reds.  Great move for them.  I would have loved to have him, given he is a Hall of Famer with actual WS championships and a ton of October success.  
    • Geordie Greep just dropped The New Sound. So that.
    • Crazy to lose to the same city in all three sports with two to be considered monumental upsets. I believe the Knicks were actually favored against the Bullets, but not sure as it was before I was born. 
    • That entire series very much hurt. Benitez was awful. He hung a slider to Grissom (the eventual ALCS MVP) allowing a go-ahead homer in the top of the 8th of game 2. The squeeze play you mentioned that I haven't been convinced wasn't foul in game 3. Game 4 had two of their guys score on the same wild pitch where it looked like David Justice blocked Lenny Webster after scoring the first of those two runs. And then of course, the last hanging slider from Armando to Tony Fernandez that proved to be the game winner in game 6. Just painful all around. 
    • More attendance than the playoff games. 
    • Just Burnes and Soto for me. That’s all. 🤪
