bling, you may have missed this response in the Soto trade thread:
Walker had a low 90s fastball in high school according to his scouting report on the 2020 Cardinals top 30 prospects on MLB.com.
I think that would translate into a strong enough arm. I would also assume some degree of accuracy since he was a pitcher.
Did I miss some Delven Perez news? He is not listed as on the IL in the roster matrix but he is also not listed on the Memphis roster. (Of course they still have Dakota Hudson listed on the Memphis roster from his rehab stint.)
They also had Irving Lopez on the IL for weeks while he was playing. Nothing going on with Perez. He remains active.
One new thing, I think, is that you can now check all minor league scores by organization on one milb page. Before you had to search full season clubs, and rookie leagues.
FYI, Palm Beach is playing Bradenton this week, which has a video feed. Hence pitches tomorrow. I’ll be excited to watch him. If you have Milbtv, you can watch this.
Watching the Palm Beach game tonight. It appears this team has speed. There was 3 dribblers hit in a row, and all ended up beating out the throws. Averages aren’t great, but team speed is encouraging. Mostly first year signings.
The way things are going it’s time to watch milb. My question is, how has Leahy kept a starting job all year? His era has been a solid 6+ all year. Is his uncle Mo?
Springfield’s team ERA is 5.49, highest in the system by a lot. Not much going well except for Graceffo and McGreevy and even they are showing wear…
The St. Louis transaction page also lists that they signed a player who actually signed with Miami. The MLB dot com people are having a rough time it seems.
Watched Hences first inning. 94-97 mph fastball, with dominant life, and plenty of swing and misses, sharp slider. He has an easy delivery, and appears to be able to throw a lot of strikes. Threw 80 % fastballs.
Hence ended up pitching 3 innings. In the third inning he allowed a double and a single with a run scoring. Struck out 5. Pretty much lived up to what I have heard about him. Live stuff with good control.
First baseman Chandler Redmond’s “home run cycle” (0-on 1-on 2-on grand slam) was impressive. But more impressive was that he did it consecutive innings. (5th 6th 7th and 8th). Past incredible.
BHC –
It’s fun to check both major and minor league transactions every day. I simply google “mlb transactions” and “milb transactions”. Keeps one up to date.Looks easy to pick player and pitcher of the day. Paniaugua allows 1 hit in 6 1/3 innings for Peoria, and 18 year old catcher for the Beach birds goes 4 for 4 with 2 homers.
Looking forward to seeing Paniaugua, Willis, Davila, and Hemce as our next wave of young pitchers. Paniagua is a little further along, but the others possibly could be MLB ready in 2 to 3 years. 3 of the 4 have shown good control, and good K rates, although Willis has only 5 professional innings. but he has darn near been unhittable.
I had lost track of the question I raised a couple weeks ago about Walker’s arm strength. Thanks Forsch and others for the info.
Speaking of Walker.
My family has played such a huge role in helping get me to where I am today. Find out more about my story: https://t.co/kKy0k0KWwE pic.twitter.com/jcyHZxssc7
