Cade Povich 2023

[Frobby]

Povich pitched this afternoon and was pulled after 2.2 innings and 61 pitches, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 4 K’s.  All 3 runs scored in the 3rd inning and he threw a lot of pitches that inning, so I guess that’s why he was pulled so quickly.   Anyway, consistent with his pattern of never throwing 2 good games in a row.

And you complain that he lacks consistency.

Dean Kremer lead the minors in strikeouts once.

Not saying it's a bad thing that Povich is up there, just that it doesn't mean he's going to be a great MLB starter.

[Frobby]

Yeah, strikeouts are nice but the idea is to prevent the other team from scoring runs.   Povich has been mediocre in that regard.

Agreed that it’s only one indicator among many.  And preventing runs while eating innings is the priority.  
But the K strength is stronger with Povich.  In 2018 the vast majority of Dean’s K’s were in A+ ball.  79 IP with 114 Ks (52.1 IP with 64 Ks in AA).  Povich has 99 Ks in 66.1 IP in AA.

Last night he went 1 run on 2 hits (1 HR), walked 2 and struck out 9 over 5.0 innings. He was the winning pitcher.

Povich and McDermott have tidy multiples of 5 on all of the K and BB percentages right now - Povich 35 and 10, McDermott 30 and 15.    xFIP thinks Povich is best in the Eastern League.     The K rates are 1-2 in the league.

The bad ERA is a black mark, but I could see Povich tagging along with Mayo.    If a Norfolk performance to Labor Day is good enough, then...

I wish they were a bit further along - Povich would be a nice potential bullpen piece for the stretch run.

Povich now has a 5.42 ERA in 94.2 AA innings, with a 4.2 BB/9 and 16 HR allowed. If another team is intrigued by the K rate and wants him as part of a package at the deadline, I'm selling.

His era is high but his FIP is 3.79 and xFIP 3.00. 

We will see if he can normalize a little.

Yeah, I don't think he's THIS homer prone. It's concerning, but you have to believe it will normalize somewhat. I'm more worried about the walks.

[SpOkane]

3 consecutive outings where he has lowered his ERA. Progress?
