I watched him some last night and again today on the weather delay. He looks pretty solid. Low 90's fastball I think I saw touch 94. Curveball looks like a plus pitch. Slider is inconsistent but looks like a decent future offering. I haven't had much of a chance to see the changeup unless I am mistaking his 2 seamer for a changeup(which has been coming in in the high 80's). But, he seems to know how to pitch. He also looks very young and to have some physical projection left. Could have better command, but this is just 1 game at the end of the year which means he could be a bit tired....

What did you guys think?

Was it just me or did this kid's delivery and curveball remind you of Tim Lincecum?

It had some Lincecum-ness to it, but its not as drastic as Lincecum. Lincecum repeats his delivery though, Bauer I haven't seen enough of to comment, but he still gets into good throwing position IMO.....

He has had the "Little Lincy" nickname (or something along those lines) going back to at least 2009. Sorry, I just don't remember the exact name.

I really wish I had a chance to see Jungmann and Cole pitch live so I could have a better idea of the top arms in the upcoming draft. Wouldn't mind seeing Gray either, sounds like his stuff is electric.....

Where do you live? Head down to Cary for a week during USA tryouts and you could see all of them.

Here's Bauer between innings last July against Guatemala

I live in southern VA(Newport News), about 30 minutes from VA Beach and about an HR from the NC/VA border.....Where in Carolina are they doing the try outs? It'd be awesome to get a chance to see all these guys in 1 place to watch....

Tryouts in Cary,NC would be at the USA Baseball National Training Complex at 200 Brooks Park Lane, Cary NC. Try a google search (USA Baseball Complex) and use the satellite view to see the complex. The field at far upper right is the main field for major events although all fields may be used depending on the amonunt of participants.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
