MLb lists him as a SR, but he appears to be Junior.

He's a COVID sophomore and true junior. Since he debuted in 2020 with the shortened season he got the extra year. So I believe he technically has two more years of eligibility left despite turning 22 this October. I'm interested to see what he looks like this time next year -- lots of material to work with but just didn't put it all together at Auburn. If Baltimore can turn these profiles into MLB arms they'll really be cooking with gas.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was lookin gat his stats and I was thinking if anything he's a COVID soph than a SR. The Orioles have had some luck with guys like Noah Denoyer. We'll see what they can do.

6.01 ERA in his college career across three seasons.  Awesome!

SEC average pitcher in 2022 had a 4.56 ERA/5.13 RA with 4.0 BB/9, 10 K/9, 1.1 HR/9. He was 5.13/5.69, 4.2 BB/9, 10.5 K/9, 0.9 HR/9.  So... eh.

Perusing the 2017 SEC pitching rosters... Zach Logue is on the A's right now, he had a 4.97 for Kentucky before being drafted.  Collin Snider is being beaten about the head and shoulders for the Royals (my God, how did that organization win the Series), but he's in the majors and in '17 for Vanderbilt allowed 7.29 R/9. Graham Ashcraft has made 10 starts for the Reds this year and in his short college career gave up 69 runs in 80 innings.  Sometimes the project pitcher works out.

Part of me wants to point out that any pitcher not picked at the very top is a project, because it's true, particularly for high school arms.

But it's also really fair to point out that a guy without previous dominance is more of a project than someone who has significant innings under his belt where he's learned a little bit of the art of pitching.

The O's are taking a leap that the strong arm will also develop command and feel for multiple pitches. So, that's a project, or at least an increased risk IMO.

      Hurricane Milton is looking scarier by the minute

      Just did a bit of a walk. Some decently large braches down, one segment of privacy fence missing and standing water on the property in a low spot.

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Not that I am in any way full agreement, but this is a classic post.  Doesn't Machado play chess?  Maybe we could get some chess boards in the clubhouse and junk all the legos.  Not all great baseball men are John McGraw bad asses.  Some can be Christy Mathewsons as well, I suppose.  Not that I imagine today's young players much resembling McGraw or Mathewson, but they are the first two contrasting old school types that come to mind.  I will say just based on his postseason alone I'd much rather have Tatis over Machado.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Well I refuse to believe that only the O's have no players that want extensions.

      Will MASN be among these soon ? MLB taking over TV broadcasts of 3 teams

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Customer advocate groups have tried for decades to force the cable companies to allow channel by channel (a la carte) subscriptions, but the cable companies fought this because it would result in far less revenue (than forcing us to pay for a hundred channels we don't watch).  The government refused to intervene, so we've been stuck with the existing business model for all this time.  Streaming is forcing the change because streaming -- for now -- is an a la carte model.   MLB's fear must be this: if the regional sports network cable channel model goes away, will most users pay anywhere close to what these channels made as part of a cable bundle for just one streaming channel where all you watch are Orioles games (or maybe Orioles and Nats games -- whatever the case may be)?  So if you pay $100/month for cable with MASN, you are probably watching at least a few other channels too.  But will you pay $15/month (or whatever the price may be) just to watch the Orioles -- even during the months when there is no baseball?  The existing basic cable model has been quite stable because people tend to watch at least 5 or 6 channels.  They're reluctant to cancel their whole cable package just because baseball season is over -- or they've been too busy to watch many games this season.  But with a single streaming channel of just baseball there is bound to be a far more unstable revenue base.  All the streaming channels are already dealing with this problem.  I think MLB is maybe reluctant to go all in on streaming for this reason.  Perhaps they're looking for new different model that could allow them to bundle individual team channels with Netflix, or Prime, or maybe with your cell phone plan or something else.  This could give them some stability, but it could also be a turn off for the more hardcore fans who just want the Orioles and little else.  It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out and if MLB, and the Orioles, will prosper or suffer as a result.
