The nerve of you wanting to see more strikes!

If he’d previously pitched for Nebraska, I wouldn’t care about the strikes.  But since he pitched for Florida State, I do care.

Pretty good effort from Baumeister tonight: 4.2 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 3 BB, 7 K’s.  43 of 72 pitches for strikes.  You’d like to see fewer walks/more strikes, but I’m glad to see 15.4 P/IP.   

I got to see a few IP.  Most (all?) of the bad stuff happened early because he he was throwing a lot strikes when I was watching.  Some good benders mixed in too.

Very similar outing to the May 22 one today.  4.2 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 2 BB, 3 K’s.  64 pitches, 38 strikes.  Honestly I dont know why they pulled him instead of letting him finish the 5th. He’s thrown 70+ pitches in all but one previous outing and he’d gotten the first two batters in the 5th.  

Anyway, that’s 6 out of 10 outings where he hasn’t allowed an earned run, including his last three outings.  His ERA is down to a tidy 1.89.  You’d like to see him throwing a few more strikes but he’s pretty tough to hit. And, he hasn’t allowed a single homer in ten outings.

Decent outing for Baumeister tonight: 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 6 K’s.   Not exactly filling up the strike zone (76 pitches, 40 strikes) but his pitch count stayed pretty low anyway.  ERA holding at 1.88.

No HR's allowed through 55.1 Innings so far in Aberdeen. Not too shabby. Would like to see him start walking less batters though.

Baumeister had a solid outing today, 4.2 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K’s.   He has a 3.11 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 11.2, 2.0 K/BB.  Gotta get the walks down significantly, but otherwise there’s a lot to like there I think.

Kinda the story of almost every decent pitching prospect in the system.  Would be nice to have one strike thrower.

Strike throwers with great stuff get picked really high. We don't pick pitchers really high, so we're left with strike throwers with less great stuff or guys with better stuff that we hope to teach how to pitch.

Wait, you mean guys with great stuff and great command aren’t around in the second round or later?

Exactly. That’s why I question our draft strategy at this point. I think we need a few high upside arms that actually know how to pitch when they get here.

Yes, do we need an 8th potential corner outfielder when the O's seem to have that covered or another catcher when the O's have the starting All Star catcher and a top 15 prospect catcher or a potential starting pitcher when pitching injuries happen so often.  The O's outfield depth is such that more outfield prospects is just lining up more prospects behind blocked prospects.  I'm just saying with an overabundance of hitting prospects, it wouldn't hurt to take a few more arms.

You got to get a surplus going so you can trade two of them for one season of a pitcher.

Well maybe somewhat in the 2nd round or maybe great stuff w/ good command, but not so much in the 10th round or later when Elias likes to draft pitchers.

He’s at 66 IP currently. He threw 69 IP last year at FSU. Aberdeen’s season ends on 9/8. I guess he’ll end up between 80-90 IP.

Today 8Ks in 4 ip.  1BB & 1HR.
