He doesn't swing at bad pitches. He doesn't even swing at borderline pitches unless he's got 2 strikes. 

He's got elite strike zone discipline. He's got elite bat speed. He's got it all. He definitely looks like a legit #1 prospect. His profile over the course of a season is going to be impressive.

Just missed a HR last night. Smashed a foul ball down the line the stadium had as 108 exit velo. His lefty uppercut swing is thing of beauty.

Just missed?  That ball was 100 feet foul.

Adley is a guy that can put up a bunch of 1 for 3 and 1 for 4 nights with some walks sprinkled in and people will ask when is he going to heat up and he'll have a .400+ OBP for the last month.  I really think this guy could put up a .270/.400/.500 line next year and be in the conversation for MVP.

I could have sworn that Kevin Brown said last night that Adley had tied the Orioles’ rookie record for consecutive games of reaching base twice, but looking at the list, I don’t see any rookies with 9 such games.   So, Adley holds that record so far as I’m concerned.   Granted, it’s one of the most obscure records ever conceived.   Now let’s see how far he can take it.   

As to the question of whether Adley is “white hot,” in the nine games he’s hit .423/.556/.692, for a 1.248 OPS.   Looking at the 14 others who had a 9 game streak of reaching base twice, 9 had a higher BA during their streak, 7 had a higher OBP, 9 had a higher SLG, 8 had a higher OPS.  Certainly not an outlier on the low end (that would be Ken Singleton at .364/.523/.515 or Boig Powell at .346/.595/.462). So, since only 39 Orioles have ever had a streak that long in the franchise’s 69 years in Baltimore, I’m going to go ahead and call that white hot.  I do agree in general that it doesn’t really feel  like he’s white hot, though.   
 

He definitely said tied.  And he said with Boog Powell.  I don't know if that's true but that's what he said.

I think he’s bound to finish Top 5 in MVP voting before his team control is up anyway. All the more reason not to delay the good ones. 

It’s only this year that matters for the MVP voting affecting service time, I believe.

Is it? I’m trying to imagine a scenario where someone doesn’t finish top 3 in ROY but finishes top 5 in MVP or Cy Young. 

I’m pretty sure.  Otherwise, you could call a guy up in August and he’d still get a full year of service time if he finished top 5 in the MVP voting 3 years later.   That’s not happening.

Did they ever settle on what type of draft pick compensation a team gets?

It looks like Powell had his streak extended by RoE (5/15-21/1962), so Adley has the record as I defined it and is tied with Powell as they apparently did.

Perhaps surprisingly, when RoEs are included, the number of 8-game streaks jumps from 85 to 108.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By now · Posted

      Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!

      Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
