I saw ta stat on twitter that at Delmarva Jud Fabian has seen 61 pitches outside the strike zone, and has only swung at 3 of them (one swing being a HR).

Its probably easy for him to spit on low level pitching, but you gotta love that kind of plate discipline early on.

Considering he had a hole in his swing the size of Antarctica and struggled against  college pitching, this is great to see on any level.

If they can fix him, it almost makes me wish the Os took Elijah Green #1.

Between his first 4 games in the FCL and tonight’s Delmarva debut, he’s now sitting on a cool .571/.696/.929/1.625 slash line as a pro. …can only assume it’s just service time games keeping him o

I'm sure it felt extra sweet for him to stick it to a Red Sox affiliate.

Definitely, but its nice they don't have to teach discipline on top of his swing holes.  The whole dev team has big bonuses in its future if it can fix Fabian and Beavers.

For a guy with a ton of swing and miss in college, he's only got about 3K's in close to 40 PA.   Beavers is doing well in the plate discipline department as well.   It will be interesting to see where they sit at the end of Delmarva's season but they are both on their way to having as good or better debut seasons than Cowser did at the same level last year.

Apparently his weakness in college was almost exclusively high fastballs. Unclear if FCL/low-A pitchers have the ability or awareness to target that.

does your dWAR go down if you simultaneously make a great play but also take out one of your own pitchers?

I was watching that game.  I believe that was Prado.  A very big play to end the game.   I was taken aback a little.   You'd think the team would go out to him, make sure he was okay and congratulate him.   He was down and out for a while out there.  He got shaken up pretty good.   Instead, most of the bullpen guys left him there and joined everyone else for the shaking of hands at the mound.    It amounted to a game saving catch or pretty close to one.

Ugh, that's rough, thanks for the insight as I couldn't really tell from the clip what happened, other than guys signaling for the trainer at the end. Hoping he's okay.

Tell you what, I've only seen a few plays, but he looks like a legitimate defensive CFer.

That was the scouting report coming out of college as well. If the Orioles can help him make better contact, he's going to be a legit prospect

He's been very impressive overall. Not sure how he hit soo poorly this year in college with the approach I've seen from him so far.

Word I got was they wanted him to swing more aggressively to drive in runs. They pressed him to do that. The UF staff has some strange practices these days. Many talented kids regressed there the past 2-3 years.

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
