2023 All-DSL Orioles Team

[Tony-OH]

I'm going to put together an All-League team for each Rookie level. These are not necessarily the best prospects, but the guys who had the best season. The rules are the player must have spent most of his season at that level and played most of his games at that position to qualify.

1B: Luis Vicioso                     - (.314/.376/.436/.812)    
2B: Sebastián De Los Santos - (.243/.393/.314/.708    
SS: Luis Guevara                    - (.318/.444/.380/.824)
3B: Fernando Peguero           - (.333/.423/.475/.899)
OF: Yirber Ruiz                      - (.273/.442/.485/.927)    
CF: Elis Cuevas                      - (.305/.401/.455/.855)
OF: Jean Mata                       - (.261/.354 /.291/.645)    
C : Miguel Rodriguez            - (.323/.489/.385/.874)
SP: Jesús Palacios                 - (1.95, 50.2 IP, 37 H, 13 BB, 60K)
SP: Cesar Espinal                  - (3.18, 34 IP, 29 H, 11 BB, 34 K) 
SP: Francisco Morao            - (3.89, 39.1 32 H, 21 BB, 52 K)
RP: Wilton Rondon              - (2.33, 27 IP, 19 H,  14 BB, 23 K) 
RP: Ledwin Gonzalez           - (3.14, 28.2 IP, 29 H, 17 BB, 29 K)

Best prospects not listed:

3B: Joshua Liranzo               - (.244/.393/.400/.793)
SS: Luis Almeyda                 - (.190/.290/.310/.600) Only 60 PAs, due to injuries

Just wanted to bump this to get more eyes on Jesus Palacios.  Big steps from 2022 to 2023. 

Jesús Palacios Stats, Fantasy & News | MiLB.com - 81% strikes.

Gameday: DSL AL All-Stars 4, DSL NL All-Stars 3 Final Score (07/30/2023) (mlbdraftleague.com) - He made the DSL All-Star game.  1 IP:  0 H, 0 R, 0 K, 0 BB 

 

I couldn't find any video on him though.  

 

6'2" is solid, but 167 lbs...  I'm no growth expert, but he doesn't seem to have broad shoulders to grow into.  Then again, Tristan McKenzie doesn't either...

I'm definitely looking forward to his scouting report when I discuss the DSL guys.

It says he's 18. He doesn't look 18. I'd wager he's a late grower. If that's his dad, you can figure on a fair amount of growth based on the very scientific "dad" test.

Jesus Palacios popped just poking around with Filters on last year's minor league stats.

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/minor-league?pos=all&level=0&lg=2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,14,12,13,15,16,17,18,30,32,33&stats=pit&qual=y&type=2&team=&season=2023&seasonEnd=2023&org=&ind=0&splitTeam=false&players=&sort=18,1&filter=Age|eq|18

Fangraphs has him 10th in Pitches Thrown by 18 year old pitchers last year - at that age I think of reps given closer in importance to results.     Two other elements that pop in that stat line are the 0 home runs, and the Balls/Strikes ratio looks better than most of the other guys on that screen.

I guess complex before Delmarva, but it'd be a treat if he got to the Eastern Shore.     He'll turn 19 during spring training.
