Colton Cowser 2024


Recommended Posts

I’m a Cowser fan but he has the 7th lowest WPA among all batters. 1/17 with 9 K’s in high leverage situations. Just not good enough to look at that pitch in any situation, let alone that one.

He's looking like Bad Cowser again. Give it a couple of weeks, bring back Kjerstad if it doesn't get better. 

No he’s not. As was talked about today, he’s hitting the ball hard. He’s seeing a lot of pitches.  The results have been awful but the approach and quality of contact have not.

Ouch!  Right down the middle.   What a contrast in at bats.  Westburg rarely has a bad one.  Cowser has some head scratchers.    Sitting on a slider 1-2.   Really?

He has insane skills and potential but he's such a flawed player.  He has to at least hit a ground ball on that 10th inning strike 3 down the middle of the plate.  Worried he's a AAAA+ player until further notice.

No. He’s definitely a ML player but he can’t be guessing in that situation.   Growing pains.

I hope Hays is ready to go on one of his infamous heaters at the plate. The Orioles need it with their slumping outfielders at the moment.

Im excited to watch Hays ground out and Mullins pop up

Cowser has a .442 OPS in May.  Would rather have almost anyone up but him in that situation.

Except Cedric... 

Not much to choose from there:

Cowser since 19 April: 9 for 63, .143 BA

Mullins since 22 April: 5 for 57, .088 BA

--getting into Jackson Holliday territory... 2 for 34, .059 BA

Cowser vying for the 2023 Jorge Mateo award.

Edited by now

    • I firmly believe Elias is attempting to build a package around Mountcastle and Kjerstad w/ 2 to 3 lesser valued pieces in exchange for a good starter
    • And here is the coverage map to determine if Fox is airing out game where you live:  https://506sports.com/mlb.php
    • We probably need to consider who we want facing Soto out of the pen. We need a Soto stopper. https://stathead.com/baseball/versus-finder.cgi?player_id1=soto--003jua&utm_medium=sr_xsite&utm_source=br&utm_campaign=2023_01_player_innernav_stathead&__hstc=107817757.2f3f33a24b44870ec4a577029c49e44b.1699920000170.1699920000171.1699920000172.1&__hssc=107817757.1.1699920000173&__hsfp=966217318 Those are his career stats versus all pitchers. He tunes mostly everyone up pretty good. Some lefties stand out though. More as SP though. Just something to think about for what it seems is an inevitable playoff showdown. 
    • So I’ve spent a bunch of time of Suarez’ BBref page and it’s fascinating.  17 seasons of baseball all over the world in an a ton of leagues (APPY, NYPL, MIDW, GULF, FLOR, VEWL, SOUL, TL, NL, PCL, CALL, ARZ, JPEL, JPCL, KBO, IL, AL) The thing I’ve noticed is that he is incredibly consistent.  In all those 17 seasons: 1. His total era in all 17 years is 3.60 (3.81 MLB, 3.71MiLB, 3.45 Foreign) 2. His total H9 is is 9.0 (8.4MLB, 8.9MiLB, 9.1 Foreign) 3. His total HR9 is 0.7 (.9MLB, .8MiLB, .5 Foreign) 4. His total BB9 is 2.7 (3.0MLB, 2.5MiLB, 2.8 Foreign) 5. His total k9 is 7.0 (6.8 MLB, 6.7 MiLB, 7.7 Foreign) He’s done that pitching  quite a few innings (175MLB, 636MiLB, 676 Foreign) For comparison sake this year he is 2.43era, 7.9H9, 0.2HR9, 3.3BB9, & 6.8K9.  His H9 & HR9 are down a good bit resulting in the lower era.  The BB9 is up slightly and the k9 is right at his career average.  I see some regression  in his future as the HR9 returns closer to career avg. but I don’t see him completely falling off a cliff.   Hes not going to over power you but you know what your going to get.  I find it pretty incredible how he’s maintained a very consistent output of performance throughout his 17 years.  Not a lot of peaks and values.  That has a ton of value.  Glad to see him have some success in the later part of his career.  Easy guy to root for.   
    • Cowser has shown his defense is good in center too.  Robert strikes out more than Cowser and I don’t see wasting resources on him.  I can’t image the orioles would want him.
    • Definitely a potential up/down righty on righty option behind Tate. Definite 40 man add this off-season if he keeps it up.
    • Ah yes the good old days of tickets printed on paper product.
