Definite chance. Guy can hit, and he’s in a system that can get the most out of him offensively. Some defensive questions give pause, but if he keeps this up on a full-season club at 18, he’ll find his way onto the list.

Pretty incredible to see O's prospects getting the benefit of the doubt just by way of being in identified and developed by the system. Never thought I would see the day.

Of course he needs to go to AA next, and I've said in previous threads that I don't see him in the big leagues this year due to several reasons, including 4 legitimate options ahead of him to play SS.

On a side note, I saw Wagner and Fabian hit oppo homers in Aberdeen.  These hitters are being developed.   Fabian was a 100% pull hitter last year.   Some of these guys take a step back before they take two forward. Basallo hits the ball from line to line already at 18.   His strikeout rate is encouraging too.  A little better overall discipline and he could be a monster.  Much more athletic than I originally thought.

Very glad to hear that.

Fabian in particular seems to possess some trait that the front office strongly identified with to the point that they telegraphed their interest in him for two years.

And even more interestingly, Fabian himself seemed have recognized that this organization would do the best job at nurturing his talent. I've wonder if the rest of the MLB was scared off of taking Fabian in 2022 because after 2021 they knew he really wanted to be an Oriole and might legitimately not sign if taken by anyone else.

2-2 with a HR, double, and 4 RBI, currently batting .333. Aberdeen was always the offensive speed bump for our prospects, but Holliday doesn’t seem to be having any problems hitting at this level. 
 

Edit — now 3-3 with a double, triple, HR, and 6 RBI. The kid is ridiculous.

Cycle watch.  Would be nice if MASN would do a live look in.

No.  He didn’t have a problem with Holliday.  Just switch Cowser for Holliday and Lawlar for Jones and then you’ve got it.   He preferred Jones but didn’t have a problem when they picked Holliday, to the best of my recollection.   BTW, Lawlar is hitting .178 in AA and striking out 30%.   Long way to go.   It’s always foolhardy to make grand pronouncements on draft day.

Starting to feel like Holliday’s bat is advanced, similar to Juan Soto at 19. Generational talent.  To be doing this in Aberdeen, in that offensive environment is really impressive. 

We may see him in Baltimore in the first half of 2024 if he keeps this up.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      ???. Cowser took more swings against LF than any other LH hitter on the team ( not named  Henderson). He was one of the guys they did not platoon.

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By Big O · Posted

      I think Kevin Seiyltzer was the fall guy for a team that thought they were a championship team.  This guy has overseen more a decade of hitting in Atlanta, has been through developing and helping young batters succeed when the league adjusts.  Most importantly, he has a ring!

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.
