Did your buddy Luna get slighted?

He would have been a solid choice.  22.1 IP, 2.01 ERA, 1.164 WHIP, 9.3 K/9, 1.9 K/BB.  Similar numbers to Tejada and he’s almost a full two years younger.   But I’d have gone with Morfe.

16-year old Stiven Martinez is making a move lately.  Today he went 3 for 4 with a triple and 2 RBI, raising his slash line to .305/.431/.451.   So far in July he’s at .366/.481/.512.  Martinez doesn’t turn 17 until August 8.  

Three run bomb for Martinez today, OPS to .911.

Latest stats on our three all stars:

Elvin Garcia .333/.470/.567, 1 HR, 20 RBI in 29 games

Jordan Sanchez .340/.449/.631, 5 HR, 30 RBI in 30 games 

Henry Tejada 18.0 IP, 2.00 ERA, 1.111 WHIP, 8.0 K/9, 2.0 K/BB

Can’t really argue with the two position players, but if we were going to send one pitcher I’d have chosen Keeler Morfe (16.0 IP, 1.69 ERA, 0.813 WHIP, 16.3 K/9, 5.8 K/BB).

They seem to be babying Morfe a bit. The command must not be very good with the 5.8 BB/9, but he's clearly got some stuff or velocity to work with due to the K/9. I agree though, Morfe is the best pitching prospects down there and his numbers were better.

Morfe’s K/BB is 5.8 but his BB/9 is 2.81.

My man Luna with 4 shutout innings today, 2 hits, 2 walks, 6 K’s.  His ERA is now 1.71 in 26.1 IP.

Luna, Estaban Mejia are both 17.  Morfe (crossed fingers) hasn’t pitched since the 6th is 18.   A few other interesting arms.  I’d say this is the best group, on paper, of pitching prospects we’ve had down there.

Add in a bunch of 16-18 yo hitters and this is the deepest group we’ve had and the records reflect that.

That is what I get for looking at Frobby's weird combination of stats by putting K/BB after K/9 instead of the commonly used BB/9. :D

Of course, as always, take these stats with a giant grain of salt. we've seen guys put up good stats in the DSL only to absolutely crap the bed in the states in the FCL or usually, in Delmarva where you really can start determining who the prospects are out of the group.

They are fine to follow, and the good ones will be in the 75 list because a prospect with no true evaluation marks and good stats is always better than a guy you've evaluated at higher levels and know they are not going to be anything but an up/down guy at best.

I will say that it's nice to see Stiven Martinez doing well. The Orioles have not had a great record of their high bonus guys getting off to good starts. Martinez though has the frame to drool over at 16-years old, so if he can pick up spin at higher levels, I think that power has a chance to develop as he gets older.

@Frobby some notes on your boy

Love the 12-6 type curve over the sweeper.  Looks good.   Hopefully, the 89-92 becomes 92-95, or better, as he gets experience and stronger.

So we have Luna, Mejia, and Espinosa, all 17, starting and doing well.

Some interesting 18-19 like Morfe, Belasco, and Rasquin.

And apparently some projects that have good arms and no control.

At least there are interesting names to follow. Morao and Palacios were te two highlighted to watch this year in the FCL and they both have disappointed to an extent. Both had steep increases of BB/9 in the FCL from their DSL numbers. Not saying to discount them yet, but it would have been nice to see them take a step forward in the FCL and challenge for Delmarva time.

Sure, there’s a lot of patience required because a lot of these DSL guys are frustrating, making that jump to FCL, and then Delmarva with great difficulty.

I do like the FB and CB.  Not convinced on the sweeper.  

Thanks @Conway12for sharing.  first time I've seen video on him i think.

    • If you’d rather have Trumbo under any circumstances, well then. God only knows how many extra runs scored because he let a ball fall in front of him, but it was a lot. An out at the plate is only an out, and it may or may not come with RISP, but a missed catch in the OF gives the offense another chance, extends the inning, puts more pressure on the pitcher.  Mullins saved a lot of runs with his defense and speed even when he wasn’t hitting. im not talking about errors, nor am I talking about routine fly balls, but about the extra inches a good defender gets that make the difference between a catch and a non- catch, and that’s important. And no one knows before the game what will be required of the defender. nine guys come to the plate, and if one of them is in the lineup not for his offense, but for what he offers with the glove, that’s fine. The other eight should cover for him. Thats why Kevin Pillar had a successful career.
    • Not sure why you bothered to quote me. I was helping another poster figure out how not important a left fielder is when it comes to defense in the modern game. You don't start a left fielder for defense.
    • Were we on Sunday Night Baseball that Sunday 9/17?    My Google of Rosh Hashanah 2023 said it ended at sundown the Sunday. I'm not Jewish either but I am baseball, and in childhood the Sandy Koufax stories I remembered most were about Yom Kippur. The Google also reminded me Kremer's turn as Texas finished the sweep was just 2 days after October 7th. Let's get a sweep, guys.
    • I don’t care what Slater did before he came to us this season. Just like I didn’t care what Hicks did before he came to us last year.  Since we acquired Slater he has a .707 OPS vs LHP and Cowser has a .500 OPS vs LHP.  It’s a coin flip. If we stick to what we’ve done, then it will be Slater. He hasn’t not started versus a LH SP since we acquired him.  I’m good with him or Cowser. Mullins is a lock. If I had to bet I’d think the lineup will be, 1. Gunnar SS L 2. Westburg 2B R 3. Santa RF S 4. Mounty 1B R 5. Adley DH S 6. Slater LF R 7. Urias 3B R 8. Mullins CF L 9. McCann C R
    • So he pitched on it last season?
    • Without Looking - Do you know who was second in Innings Pitched?  Pretty incredible.
    • Looks like it began on Friday, Sep 15 and ended on Sunday, Sep 17.
