It seems like he's an elite athlete who has never really focused on developing as a pitcher. Could be a total bust, could also be an untapped big time talent. 

I mean if you're really dreaming, Jacob DeGrom was a SS in college until starting to pitch as a junior 😛 

Maybe a little more realistic, Givens was a SS in our system for a few years before becoming a pitcher.

Very doubtful.  To my understanding, the real physical examination does not happen until after the draft.  So unless you know something I don't, it's entirely unlikely they knew everything about his '

I can't believe I called this last night!  I simply looked for a 4 year sophomore position player as that seemed to be a pattern after the past year or two.

Well...technically speaking he is pointing his finger... (sorry, bad joke.)

In the video he looks like a position player who came in to pitch, meaning it looks like he has very little training about weight shift and balance points and all that stuff.    If he's throwing 94-95 like that I imagine they are thinking there's a lot more in the tank.

BTW, his coach where he’s committed to play college ball is his uncle at Oklahoma State. So if he’s not liking what he’s hearing he probably goes back to school

So you think he'll say no to $8M? Do you think maybe the front office discussed that with the family before picking him?

You linked an article about Jackson Holliday, who's Uncle is the Head Coach at Oklahoma State. You presented this as if you're the first person on earth who discovered that the #1 pick in the draft is committed to  Oklahoma State to play for his Uncle. 

And you did all that in a thread about Nolan McLean, who plays at Oklahoma State. 

Do you think the O's are going to offer Jackson Holliday $800,000? Or do you mean Nolan McLean might want to go to Okla State, even though he's been playing there for years?

Yeah ….the article got me. I was fishing around to see his pitching profile. Didn’t realize both guys were in the article. I was skimming…

I could see Nolan expecting to want to be overpaid since he was projected to go in 1 or 2. Plus if he doesn’t like the Orioles plan. He looks like he has 2 more years.

Oklahoma State HC Josh Holliday On Orioles Picks Jackson Holliday, Nolan McLean - PressBox (pressboxonline.com)

 

“He reminds me of a Trevor Rosenthal on the mound when Trevor was saving 50 games for the Cardinals,” Holliday said. “… I see similarities where he can be an elite closer in the major leagues.”

At the plate, McLean had a very successful sophomore season for the Cowboys, finishing with a slash line of .285/.397/.595 and slugging 19 home runs in 64 games.

This past season, McLean was honored by his conference for his performance both on the mound and at the plate. McLean was named to the All-Big 12 First Team as a utility player and to the All-Big 12 Second Team as a pitcher.

According to his coach, McLean “has immense raw power, probably as good as anyone in this draft.” Despite that, McLean’s fastest path to the big leagues looks to be on the mound.

“As a hitter, he’s a really good prospect,” Holliday said. “As a pitcher, he’s an elite prospect,”

Woah 1.325 for young

 

 

I would have preferred Walters out of the two but hopefully this guy turns into something.   This means that McLean would have to basically be slot or the Orioles go into the overage, which they've never done before.   Of course, he could mean they aren't signing McLean as well.   Getting McLean and this guy would be pretty nice.   I didn't think they'd sign Walters or Young.   

Correction.  I think this means no matter what, they went into the overage funds.   McLean is either slot, below are not signed at all.  They wouldn't be able to go over on him without incurring the penalty of losing picks.

      It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.

      Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late.

      Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes.

      Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By now · Posted

      Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!

      The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
