Way Under The Radar

Recommended Posts

I like the 6'11 155 Kevin Velasco doing this in the DSL. 2.0 BB9 in 49.2 career innings is interesting. No HR's allowed so far this season. I'd like to know what kind of velocity he's working with, but I guess he'll gain some more as weight gets added.

Every time I see  a great performance by Van loon I go watch the game and can't figure out why he's suddenly K'ing guys. I just don't see it. 

I don’t care what he looks like.  I just want to have a pitcher named Van Loon.

Certainly an intriguing guy due to his size and stats he's putting up of late. In he last four appearances, here's what he's done.

He does have a great name for sure. I hope he does get a AAA promotion soon so I can see his stat cast info.

Yeah, we need Melewski to check in on the exact height he is. The 155 has to be outdated if he is really  6'11. I cant find any video of him online, but I didnt exactly look very hard.

I agree because the secondary benefit is to have a Van Loon working with the Tides. The Audubon Society could sponsor a give away on the night he pitches!

Manute Bol was 7'7" and 201.  

I saw him in an airport once.  Looked like a giant praying mantis when he ducked to go through the metal detector.  He was on my plane and had to sit diagonally across an entire row of seats.

Peter Van Loon.   25 yo RHP taken in the 16th round in 2019.   Started the year on the IL and didn’t start pitching until June 4.   Made his way back to Bowie.  He’s pitched 4.1, 4, 4 innings in 2 starts and relief.   That’s 12.1 IP, 5 H, 3 BB, 1 HB, 17 K (0 runs).   He’s getting into the “interesting” conversation.

I just noticed his stats this morning. He is on a roll with three straight scoreless starts of four innings each. Get him up to AA.

    • Suarez?  I would have been guessing between Kremer and Grayson if I didn't know the result was incredible. 🙂
    • Data point:  Sunset Wednesday in Baltimore is 6:46 PM, about 2 hours and 10 minutes after the scheduled start of the Orioles game.
    • Thanks, I figured the easiest way to address the question was just to see if he has done it in the past, and it looks as if he had. I'd be shocked if it would be an issue now when it wasn't last season.
    • First pitch was at 1:36. 
    • It's a 48 hour event spanning three days from sunset to sunset two days later. The two evenings, particularly the first one, are typically the most significant. Since last Sep 17th was the third day, it's possible he was more willing to pitch that day than on one of the prior two evenings. It's also possible Dean just changed his perspective and pitching on the holiday is not an issue for him.  In any event, if pitching on the holiday is an issue, it might be relevant for both Wednesday and Thursday, since the holiday begins at sundown Wednesday. 
    • 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.
