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.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By Say O! · Posted

      Per CBA rules, hasn’t most (90%) of the deferred buyouts have to be already set aside in present value?  This is why not shown in the payments itemization.  Same with Bobby Bonilla for NYM and why Shohei Ohtani shown in terms of AAV present value.

      Are we at the point that we want to give the backup catcher 225-250 PAs? If that's the case, I'd like to see an upgrade from McCann.

      1.5 months of data shouldn't make any difference. These guys have too much upside to trade. I'm most concerned about Mayo, more due to lack of position than the early hitting results. Still, no regrets even if Skubal was available, which I highly doubt

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By ChuckS · Posted

      I'm not in the group that expected us to miss the playoffs a few days ago.  This thread was a bit silly at the time, and has now become completely irrelevant.  But stating we are going to win 5 of the next 9 games as a fact, is just as ignorant as the people who think we are going to lose out or continue the tailspin to the point that we will miss the playoffs.  As much as I can't stand constant negativity, I also can't stand people who have no tolerance for any negativity, or pessimism, or whatever you want to call it.  If you just want to be a part of a cheerleading group and resent any criticism of the team, a hardcore fan message board is probably not the place for you.  Not just speaking to this poster, but as a retort to similar opinions in general.

      Would the team be any better off with Skubal than they are now, considering the hitting woes?  I think that’s debatable, and questionable enough that I wouldn’t give up that high level talent to find out.    Who knows if the Tigers would have even done that?  They’ve made a nice run behind Skubal and the rest of their staff since the deadline. I think it’s a good chance they extend him to lead that young team into the next several years of what they hope are contending teams. Decent position player pool there.

      AL playoff picture

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      The Tigers are a fun story, reminiscent of the ‘22 birds a little bit (if that team had had a CY winner heading the rotation). But we need to end the dream for them this weekend. Take care of business versus Detroit and next weeks games will hardly matter. We can get our staff set up for the WC series after their next turn. That would be ideal.

      This is my thinking as well.  Who would have guessed that despite all the injuries, the Trevor Rogers fiasco and Corbin Burnes' terrible August that the most reliable part of this team would still be the starting pitching?  Eflin and Suarez have anchored a much better than expected rotation, with Kremer and Povich hanging in there despite some rough starts.  The current rotation has mostly kept us in games despite the absence of hitting and a head shaking bullpen.  Would we be better right now with Skubal?  Probably, but not by much with so much else wrong with this team.  Plus we kept our position player future that is clearly mostly still developing.   Perhaps we could still trade for Skubal this offseason, but with the Tigers suddenly Wild Card contenders I can't see them letting him go.  Maybe they'd trade him for a crazy package crazy like Adley, Holliday, Kjerstad and Povich.  I think that ship has sailed and maybe was never close to being a reality anyway.
