From the tracker on this year's signings.  The Orioles 2022 J2 signing class: Braylin Tavara (CF) bonus $1.7 million million (video) - "He is one of the most well-rounded players in this year’s class and has a chance to be a five-tool player with above-average grades in the future. At the plate, the lean and athletic 16-year-old shows a good approach and sound fundamentals with improving pitch recognition. Like most prospects his age, Tavera’s swing is a work in progress, but he a

Estrada with his 3rd HR today in a 2-4 day at the plate.  

16BB and 16K in 89 ABs with a .371 AVG and 1.062 OPS. 

For a 17 year old listed at 5’ 8” and 142lbs, he sure seems to pack a punch with the bat. 

It’s nice to have a guy there to be excited about.   The teams are taking their lumps but one good player can make the whole enterprise worthwhile.   (Not to say that he’s proven anything yet, or that he’s the only one with promise.)

Orioles Black beat Diamondbacks 13 to 1. Improve to 12.and 18. Switch hitting 2nd baseman Eron Estrada goes 3 for 3 with his 4th double.  They hit him with a pitch too.  Maybe throwing at him ?

DSL All Star game was yesterday and a few Orioles made an appearance in the game, which finished in a 6-6 tie:

- Aron Estrada came in for the starter at 2B and went 1-2 with a double and a run scored

- 21 year old RHP Harif Frias worked around an error and got a ground out and 2 fly outs in his one IP

- 20 year old RHP Eris Rodriguez walked the lead off batter, but got out of the inning he worked with a fly out and then a strike out/throw out double play, which looks like quite an interesting play from the box score

I think those were the 3 lone representatives from either of our two DSL teams.

Some bits on our DSL staffs:  

Both our DSL teams are actually better than league average in runs allowed per game and ERA.  The league averages 5.25 runs allowed per game; Orange is at 4.18, Black at 4.85.   The league has a 4.63 ERA; Orange is at 3.72, Black at 4.40.

It’s always amazing to look at DSL stats and see how many walks, errors and unearned runs there are.  I’ll be looking at some game where we scored 7 runs and yet only have 4 RBI.  Same is true for our pitchers.  Fully 22% of runs allowed are unearned league-wide.  O’s Black are right on league average at 22%, Orange is even worse at 25%.   

The DSL averages 5.2 BB/9.   Orange is better than league average at 4.9, Black is pretty atrocious at 6.2.  The league averages 9.2 K/9; Orange is at 9.6, Black at 8.8.

Finally and importantly, there’s age.  League average is 18.6; Orange is 18.8 and Black 19.5.   

So overall, I think you’d have to say that Orange has pretty decent pitching, while Black is a bit weak considering the advanced age of their staff.

Luis Deleon.  19 year old LHP 6'3 195.    Two appearances ago went 3 IP with 0 walks and 9 strikeouts.

Today 4 IP, 2 hits.  0 walks.  8 strikeouts.    Remember the name!

Deleon is a 19-year old late bloomer who was signed for peanuts, but has been 89-91, up to 93 with potentially more in there as he gets stronger. He's a 6-foo-t3 left-handed string bean. Worth keeping an eye on.

The DSL teams are actually beginning to score runs.  Frobby mentioned the DSL black team and they are scoring again today.  Tavera is 2 for 2 with 2 walks.  He needs more games like this.   Raylin Ramos (.811 OPS) and Aron Estrada (1.072) keep looking strong.   Leandro Arias (6 for his last 11) is starting to look like his bonus was well spent.    Cristian Benavides (9 G hit streak, 14 for his last 25!!).   All are 17 years old.  The Orange team is starting to look better as well.

Here are some DSL pitchers who are standing out to me (youngest to oldest):

Ezequiel Bonilla (16), 17.1 IP, 3.63 ERA, 1.21 WHiP, 9.3 K/9

Henry Tejada (17), 22.1 IP, 2.01 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 8.9 K/9

Elias Moscoco (17), 17.0 IP, 3.71 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 9.0 K/9

@Tony-OHmay know more than me - I haven’t seen video - just watching numbers.

Tony actually has quietly move Estrada up in his power rankings. Kid really seems to be a good hitter. My guess is he really starts to become better known toward the end of this year and in the off-season power rankings. He, Basallo and Benscosme all seem like bats to really watch.

Do kids like Estrada and Deleon stay in the DSL all season despite excellent performances? I’m assuming many of them have not been to US and would need some extensive transition to play in the FCL.

Keep an eye on Angel Tejada, a 2B/3B in the FCL.  As a 17 yo he put up an 18+ OPS in the DSL.  This year he's over .800 again and really heating up lately.  11 for his last 22, including 3 home runs.

They also need a visa, so it’s a little more complicated (and they’re very young, think hs junior)

Do yourself a favor.  Click on that link.  It won’t include today’s game.  DSL Oriole black scored 12 in the 12th.  They broke Gameday with 2 outs in the top of the 12th.  8 of the 9 guys in the starting lineup are 17.

Fun facts. RF Raylin Ramos has 8 assists and 4 DP’s and 0 errors.  That usually is the sign of a plus arm.

Alfredo Velasquez, 3B, has been to the plate 139 times and walked only 9 times but he’s struck out only 7 times!  He hit his first homer today.

      I imagine the goal is to get him available to just give them anything out of the pen in the wild card round. Depending on how that goes and if the O’s can advance who knows.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By wildcard · Posted

      The interesting thing about 1B is Mayo.     Elias keeps pushing Mayo at 3B.   But if Westburg is healthy he is better at 3B.   And they don't seem to play Mayo has much as they could at 1B where he might have a better chance at a regular job.    DH might be his best position. If Santander leaves, then Kjerstad probably gets an every day spot at RF.   Elias might want to see Kjerstad hit well in RF before he hands over 2B to Holliday.   Too many struggling rookies at the same time is not good for wins.   Mayo is  behind Kjerstad and Holliday IMO in getting a lot of playing time. However, developing Kjerstad, Holliday and Mayo  are key parts of the O's future no  matter how Elias develops them.

      Walker is definitely an upgrade over Mountcastle.  Walker has cleared an .800 OPS the past three seasons.  Mountcastle has only done it once -- his rookie year.  Plus Mountcastle hasn't even cleared 20 homers since 2022.  Mountcastle is good in a platoon, used against lefties, but otherwise he's fallen off. Walker is 33, which is a bit of a risk, but which makes me think he could be had on a short term deal.  That said I think the O's will have competition for Walker.  He's one of the most underrated bats in the league.   If the O's think Kjerstad can play 1B then I think they should maybe go with him and look for a new RF (unless they bring back Santander, which seems more unlikely now).  But I don't know about Kjerstad's glove there. Mayo's glove at 1B may be even more questionable than Kjerstad's.  Plus Mayo just hasn't shown he's ready with his bat yet.  I'm against assuming guys will figure out how to hit MLB pitching within a presumed timeframe.  Mayo hasn't shown he's there yet.  Let him work his way into the lineup rather than giving him a starting job.  But with him there's also the issue of where his defense plays best, or if it plays anywhere.

      So either Grayson won’t face hitters this year (ie he’s done for the year) or he’s in the pen.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I feel better after getting a W against the Giants; somewhere along the way I had stated I felt we almost had to get at least one from them, and now we have.  However, lets not act like this one win means the offense has broken its slump and we're suddenly going to start rolling.  I hope we do, but we're one bad game away from feeling like we'll never score a run again.  If we go down 3-0 or something early tonight, it will be hard to resist the doomsday feeling - we're just as likely to get one-hit or something stupid like that tonight as we are to score 5 or 6 runs.  Its a tough schedule to finish the season, tougher than maybe we would have thought with Detroit playing so well.  Still not counting my chickens but yeah that W yesterday changed the calculus a good bit in our favor.

      Update: As expected, the corresponding move for Coulombe is Burch Smith, but he's going on the IL instead of being DFA'd. Right adductor/groin strain.
