If Hall is disappointing you this year then I think your expectations are little too high. 

That one puzzled me also. He had the one really bad outing in late June where he apparently was tipping pitches and gave up 7 runs, but since then in 4 starts he has thrown 20,2 innings, with 40 Ks, 7 BBs, 8 hits allowed and 1 ER given up. He is dealing. I think the time has come to pull the trigger and bring him up. I am exactly the opposite of "disappointed" in Hall.

Nolan McLean has great bat speed and strength allowing him to drive the ball out of any park and he has the ability to adjust at the plate

He did both in college.  They drafted him as a pitcher.  I'd guess that his hitting days are over.

Stats indicate a better hitter than pitcher to me

Maybe but they aren't going on the stats.   The important stat is that he struck out 36% of the time and he throws 94-95 with high spin rates on his curve and slider.   You might be wrong!   Maybe.

Ok.  You know better.  Send it into the Baltimore Orioles suggestion box.  Good luck.

That is a fact, no disputing that.  I am sure you realize that evaluating how these guys will fare as pros has almost zero to do with their college stats on baseball reference.  It is largely irrelevant.

You asked why he would be a pitcher instead of a hitter.   I gave you the reasons and that stats.    Sure, he has massive power and had some nice numbers but his 36.9% strikeout rate makes Jud Fabian look like Paul Molitor.

True ….and he as a bad relief pitcher that had a high K to IP.

Ok.  Whatever.  The Orioles think his future is as a pitcher and not a position player.
