Isaac Bellony 2022

Isaac Bellony, a 20-year-old outfielder who signed for $220,000 in 2018 as one of the few "major" international signings of the Dan Duquette era, is holding his own with the Shorebirds.

He hit his fifth homer today to raise his slash line to .247/.362/.474. 

The Carolina League (so weird that that is the A-ball league, not the high-A league) is a pitcher's league with a league wide OPS of .683, so Bellony's .836 OPS ranks in the top-25 in the league, 15th among those with at least 100 plate appearances. Darrell Hernaiz is the only Shorebird ahead of him.

He has mostly played right field this season.

Curious to hear a scouting take on him, hopefully I will get to see him this summer with the Shorebirds at some point.

Edit: Tony had a take on him earlier today that I didn't see before starting this thread.

He hit for the cycle btw yesterday. Huge day. Congrats to him. So what’s the scouting report?  
 

He’s got some SO in his game with 54 of those in 34 games, But he walks too. 24 of those. .377 OBP. 
 

Switch Hitter

.934 OPS vs RHP

.550 OPS vs. LHP

Is he an OF or 1B?  6-2 220 20 yo

Don’t have a scouting report for you but he’s given switch hitting for now. Been hitting left handed against all pitching for about the last 3 weeks.

Big game tonight after slow start as Ironbird.    2-for-3 with a HR and 2 walks.

Two weeks later though, it appears not enough to keep him up at Aberdeen.

He was announced by the PA last night in Delmarva's lineup, which I assured my wife was wrong because "that guy's not even on the team anymore".    But looks like a strategic retreat has indeed been called for in this case.

    • I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?  
    • Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.    
    • First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.
    • Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly 
    • I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.
    • The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
