Speaker 1: A switch high, understand deep to shutter field, and it's gone, Wow.
Speaker 2: His first big league swing is gonna be a grand
Speaker 2: Slam home run swing.
Speaker 1: Good time to.
Speaker 3: Look to the soup. Welcome back to The Call Up,
Speaker 3: your go to podcast on the future stars of Major
Speaker 3: League Baseball. You got arm Layton, Jack McMullen, and we're
Speaker 3: talking promotions today. We got a couple of call ups
Speaker 3: as well, which is always a lot of fun. I
Speaker 3: think we're gonna have a lot more call ups coming soon.
Speaker 3: But it's promotion season. We always see it right at
Speaker 3: the end of like right out the tail of the
Speaker 3: All Star Week, and then also just after that you
Speaker 3: get the end of the Complex League and that's when
Speaker 3: we get some the top performers there are getting bumped up.
Speaker 3: So we're going to talk about some of those guys
Speaker 3: as well, and then just get kind of get to
Speaker 3: this point of the year and it's time to get
Speaker 3: guy guys up to double A, get them up to
Speaker 3: the upper levels or maybe even triple A if they
Speaker 3: could maybe help a big league team down the stretch.
Speaker 3: A bunch of different players to talk about in that regard,
Speaker 3: and I'm excited because we're going literally all the way
Speaker 3: from those complex guys moving their way up to some
Speaker 3: under the radar big leaguers that made their debuts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, we're gonna do a big league call ups
Speaker 2: and kind of work down sequentially, so we'll end with
Speaker 2: some of the big ticket guys that are getting off
Speaker 2: the Complex and going to low A. But yeah, two
Speaker 2: notable big league call ups, and there have been some
Speaker 2: other big league call ups mixed in here over the
Speaker 2: last few weeks, but as of late, James Trianto's with
Speaker 2: the Cubs and Christian Curtis with the Pirates, and we'll
Speaker 2: start with those and then trickle down to the promotions.
Speaker 2: We'll go big league, triple A, Double A. I don't
Speaker 2: think there's any load of high A, so we'll go
Speaker 2: Complex to Lowe after that to wrap up the program.
Speaker 2: But I want to start with James Treanto's the Cubs here.
Speaker 2: James Treanto's officially a major leaguer, by the way, congratulations
Speaker 2: to him getting a base hit in his first major
Speaker 2: league get bat. James Treanto's has been in the Cub
Speaker 2: system for a while and has been a theorized trade
Speaker 2: chip for a while. Twenty three year old can kind
Speaker 2: of do it all. So far in the minor leagues
Speaker 2: this year with Triple A Iowa for the most part,
Speaker 2: and for the most part played second base and third base.
Speaker 2: But he's got nine starts in center, he's got five
Speaker 2: starts in left, and he made a start in right
Speaker 2: as well. But James Treanto's what didn't stop was hitting.
Speaker 2: In eighty eight games with Triple A Iowa, hit three
Speaker 2: zero six twenty four doubles, seven homers, also swiped eighteen bags.
Speaker 2: K rate very very low in the ops set at
Speaker 2: seven to eighty four. So James Treanto's it seems like
Speaker 2: long overdue, but a major league debut for.
Speaker 3: Him, Yeah, He's always just been in a tough situation
Speaker 3: there with the way that this Cubs infield is set
Speaker 3: up and just in general, and then you've got like
Speaker 3: Matt Shaw ahead of you, who is basically you with
Speaker 3: the sliders turned up slightly, just slightly, Because I think
Speaker 3: the most important thing about a player of this archetype
Speaker 3: is going to be the defensive value. And while Triontos
Speaker 3: has done a great job to make himself more versatile,
Speaker 3: I think there's the challenge of not really being great
Speaker 3: at a specific spot, whereas when you look at you
Speaker 3: know what you get from Matt Shaw. He's developed into
Speaker 3: a really solid defender at the hot corner and the
Speaker 3: value you didn't even get from him if he was
Speaker 3: playing second base and not really needed obviously with Nico Horner.
Speaker 3: But I think the big thing with Treantos this year
Speaker 3: is that you look at last season, I think there
Speaker 3: was some frustration offensively, and I know he's a little
Speaker 3: bit banged up, but it was a down year from
Speaker 3: in a lot of ways. He just wasn't hitting for average,
Speaker 3: and this is a guy that has to hit for average.
Speaker 3: He's never gonna walk a ton. He's aggressive, but he's
Speaker 3: that hit tool driven aggressive guy that can get to
Speaker 3: a lot of different pitches, make a lot of impressive
Speaker 3: swings on pitches and tough spots, but sometimes just gets
Speaker 3: a little bit expensive. So he's been more selective this year.
Speaker 3: But if you're a hit tool driven guy, if you
Speaker 3: can add him out per hour in the average exus
Speaker 3: velocity department, it's gonna help the batting average on balls
Speaker 3: and play because those ground balls and those line drives
Speaker 3: and even maybe the gappers they're just going to have
Speaker 3: a little bit more life. You're gonna be able to beat.
Speaker 3: He split the defenders, whether it's on the ground in
Speaker 3: the infield or in the air in the outfield just
Speaker 3: a little bit more frequently, and I think that's been
Speaker 3: the difference here. You have a mile per hour uptick
Speaker 3: for Treantos in the eggs of velocity department, and from
Speaker 3: eighty six and a half, which is starting to get
Speaker 3: towards the lower end of qualifying to eighty seven and
Speaker 3: a half, which is, you know, more than fine. He's
Speaker 3: also improved the launch angle this year on average about
Speaker 3: five degrees better, so just more line drives less on
Speaker 3: the ground. You pair that with some better swing decisions,
Speaker 3: and it just seems like he took a bad year
Speaker 3: and fixed it, you know, and really improved on things.
Speaker 3: He was twenty two years old in Triple A last year,
Speaker 3: so to come back this year make those adjustments, it's
Speaker 3: been a much improved season. It is funny that in
Speaker 3: Triple A Jack the A three to zero six three
Speaker 3: forty four four forty slash line is a ninety six
Speaker 3: WRC plus there go. But I think you just look
Speaker 3: more at the player himself and where he went from
Speaker 3: being a two fifty eight three fifteen three sixty nine
Speaker 3: slash line and say this guy is much better. He
Speaker 3: cut the strikeout right even lower. I still think the
Speaker 3: swing decisions are going to be an important thing from
Speaker 3: especially at the big league level. But I think you
Speaker 3: very clearly here have a solid utility piece that still
Speaker 3: has the upside. I think a lot of teams are
Speaker 3: going to see him as this as like a second
Speaker 3: division regular, and I still think he's a trade ship.
Speaker 3: The reason why he's up the big league team is
Speaker 3: he was already in the forty so you didn't have
Speaker 3: to make it right a forty man move, and he
Speaker 3: could plug in for you. And you know, I think
Speaker 3: swim relative to most guys just needing to plug in
Speaker 3: and make their debut. But I still think Triantos is
Speaker 3: a trade chip for this team.
Speaker 2: It seems like it. They have plenty of guys that
Speaker 2: could be trade chips in Treonto is just the most
Speaker 2: recent example of that guy. Another guy, and it's unfortunate
Speaker 2: because to this point he's already been optioned back to
Speaker 2: Triple A and placed on the injured list, which sucks.
Speaker 2: But Christian Curtis made his debut about ten days ago
Speaker 2: with the Pittsburgh Pirates and it went really well. He
Speaker 2: threw five scoreless innings. He cared four in his major
Speaker 2: league debut. Curtis was a guy that I think not
Speaker 2: many were anticipating getting up to the major leagues this year.
Speaker 2: Fifty three innings at a four to seventy LRA with
Speaker 2: al Tuna, goes up to Indianapolis by an era output
Speaker 2: struggled and also walked more guys there in twenty four
Speaker 2: and two thirds he walked seventeen. But Pittsburgh was running
Speaker 2: into a situation where they had innings to fill, and
Speaker 2: he comes up and goes five innings, a two hit
Speaker 2: shutout baseball in a long relief out. But he goes
Speaker 2: back to tripa A. He's placed on the injured list.
Speaker 2: Unfortunate for Christian Curtis. But this is a guy that
Speaker 2: seems like he is part of the Pittsburgh pitching plans
Speaker 2: moving forward.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they said side discomfort, that's like a hockey
Speaker 3: injury to descripture there, I would.
Speaker 2: Assume side his code word for obleakue.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I would assume so as well, and as
Speaker 3: long as it's not the arm, right, Because Curtis, I
Speaker 3: would say that if there's one person that did really
Speaker 3: bank on Curtis debuting this year. It's our guy Ja
Speaker 3: staff It does a great job on the call up socials,
Speaker 3: but specifically with the Pirate system. He made his debut
Speaker 3: obviously on our Pirates Stop Prospect List episode on here
Speaker 3: and crushed it. And I love Curtis, but Jay loves
Speaker 3: Curtis even more. And it's easy to understand why the
Speaker 3: fastball is lively. I mean, he's getting nineteen and changed
Speaker 3: vert from above average extension and it's just high spin
Speaker 3: gets on you quick your pair of that with the
Speaker 3: assortment of secondaries that he has, and I think this
Speaker 3: is a guy that at worst is going to be
Speaker 3: a really useful kind of Swiss Army knife for a
Speaker 3: big league team. I look at I know Tyler Phillips
Speaker 3: for the Marlins has had to end up becoming more
Speaker 3: of a starter, but I look at a guy in
Speaker 3: that role where it's like you could throw him in
Speaker 3: the seventh in the stuffle ward, you could stretch him
Speaker 3: out as a starter, and like this is what he
Speaker 3: ended up doing as the extra man in a double
Speaker 3: header and gave you five innings. I think I'm piggyback,
Speaker 3: but I think the command is the big thing to
Speaker 3: monitor here, and I think that's where it could be
Speaker 3: holding him back from his upside of being like a
Speaker 3: strong number four starter, which is really what I think
Speaker 3: Curtis can be. But if he's walking you know, nearly
Speaker 3: five per nine, which he's done, you know, roughly this year,
Speaker 3: it might be more of a hey, we're gonna have
Speaker 3: to deploy him in these you know, piggyback, maybe your
Speaker 3: multi ending relief or still I think that stuff can
Speaker 3: play at leverage, so it it's a Swiss army knife,
Speaker 3: but also kind of at the same part you're trying
Speaker 3: to figure out what's best for him. But at the
Speaker 3: end of the day, this is a big league role.
Speaker 3: And I always mentioned Curtis because he's one of the
Speaker 3: more unique medical situations ever. This is why I reached
Speaker 3: out to your fiance because I'm like, I've never heard
Speaker 3: of this before. She's gonna be an orthopedic surgeon. I'm like,
Speaker 3: how does this happen? We talked about this in the past,
Speaker 3: but like he has Tommy John surgery, keeps having weird
Speaker 3: sensations and almost like a burning feeling when he's throwing,
Speaker 3: to the point where it was debilitating. They take they
Speaker 3: look at it turns out there's still stitches in his
Speaker 3: arm from the surgery that were pushing up against the nerve.
Speaker 3: There was nerve damage. They were concerned that he may
Speaker 3: never be able to throw a baseball again. He comes back,
Speaker 3: he's able to throw, he still gets drafted. He has
Speaker 3: the success that he has you know, had and has
Speaker 3: just gotten better and better the further he's been removed
Speaker 3: from that surgery. And it's just it's incredible. So I've
Speaker 3: never heard of that. Apparently it's not as absurdly uncommon
Speaker 3: like it's it's it's a mistake, but like sometimes it
Speaker 3: just happens. Apparently the information I received, but I just
Speaker 3: feel like for a picture, it's like that can't happen. Regardless,
Speaker 3: it's a really amazing story and he's got a root
Speaker 3: for and just I don't want to do it again.
Speaker 3: But like also could be trade bait because they have
Speaker 3: so many freaking arms. But I think this is a
Speaker 3: guy that they should be looking at once he's healthy
Speaker 3: as a guy that can actually help their bullpen, which
Speaker 3: isn't great.
Speaker 2: Know their bullpen is not good at all, And obviously
Speaker 2: you have to look at external additions for them coming
Speaker 2: up in the next week or so, and you have
Speaker 2: to think the Pirates are going to be active on
Speaker 2: the reliever market at the deadline. But if they can
Speaker 2: have an internal ad and a guy like Christian Curtis,
Speaker 2: that can be a heck of an ad. And they've
Speaker 2: got some guys sitting down there in Indianapolis that are
Speaker 2: throwing a hundred like Antoine Kelly was a guy that
Speaker 2: was came up pumping one hundred and one miles an hour,
Speaker 2: went down to Indianapolis and was just hanging out there
Speaker 2: for a while. So they've got plenty of guys internally
Speaker 2: that could be a jolt, but what they have right
Speaker 2: now at the major league level in the bullpen is
Speaker 2: probably just not good enough. But those are the two
Speaker 2: major league call ups that we wanted to hit on here,
Speaker 2: and now we get to the minor league promotions, and
Speaker 2: none bigger than franklin Arius, the top five prospect in
Speaker 2: baseball according to you at just baseball dot com, franklin
Speaker 2: Arius gets the bump up to triple A WORCESTA. Franklin
Speaker 2: Arius has been one of the best players in all
Speaker 2: of minor league baseball this year. He is absolutely a
Speaker 2: candidate fort Minor League Player of the Year and just
Speaker 2: baseball at season's end. But he's twenty years old. He's
Speaker 2: twenty years old for the rest of the season. And
Speaker 2: Arius has already played two games in Worcester. Hasn't gone well.
Speaker 2: He's zero for eight, has driven in a rundown. But
Speaker 2: in seventy five games with Double A Portland A nine
Speaker 2: to ninety three ops, he had nineteen homers, hit three
Speaker 2: eighteen with an OVP over four hundred.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is an interesting one where it's like you're
Speaker 3: gonna be looking at when could this guy potentially get
Speaker 3: caught up here? Because by the way, do you know
Speaker 3: who started at shortstop for the Boston Red Sox over
Speaker 3: the last five games Monasterio?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was Sung chey Chang For a minute,
Speaker 2: I think now you.
Speaker 3: Know what happened, A Sun chan Chang.
Speaker 2: They optioned him when Mead got acquired the option Chang.
Speaker 3: This saw enough. I thought he was playing all right.
Speaker 2: He was playing all right.
Speaker 3: Mance Area has actually been playing alright too, But I
Speaker 3: don't know. This is one where everyone was kind of wondering,
Speaker 3: why is it taken so long to get him up
Speaker 3: to Triple A? Also Arius. So this is a fascinating
Speaker 3: conversation because Arius has clearly added a ton of thump
Speaker 3: this year, and we've talked about that ad nauseum on
Speaker 3: the show, right, I mean, we're talking about a guy
Speaker 3: that had never hit more than nine home runs in
Speaker 3: a minor league season and has nineteen already this year
Speaker 3: and then reached that number, you know, the the nine
Speaker 3: plateau like it. I think it felt like a month
Speaker 3: into the season. So clearly there's an uptick in power.
Speaker 3: But the interesting thing is that the ball was flying
Speaker 3: in the minor leagues more than ever. So I've noticed,
Speaker 3: like when I put that out, some people like went
Speaker 3: straight to Arius and were like, well, no, no, Like,
Speaker 3: does this mean we take Arius his power uptick with
Speaker 3: the grain AsSalt, Like, No, I don't think so, because
Speaker 3: he's clearly made improvements. He's a little bit more physical. Uh,
Speaker 3: there's some swing adjustments that have allowed him to get
Speaker 3: into a little bit more thump and uses over half better.
Speaker 3: And I think he's just not nineteen now, he's twenty,
Speaker 3: and like that makes a big difference for you physically,
Speaker 3: as will probably twenty one and twenty two. So he's
Speaker 3: going to keep growing but I do think there's something
Speaker 3: to be said, like maybe that power breakout would have
Speaker 3: looked like fourteen home runs at this point in stead
Speaker 3: in nineteen. What I am interested to see is like,
Speaker 3: what will the batted ball data look like for him
Speaker 3: at Triple A, because just to like put it into context,
Speaker 3: as of the twenty first I tweeted this a week ago,
Speaker 3: but Hi A slug was three point fifty eight last year,
Speaker 3: it's four fourteen this year. Double A slug three sixty
Speaker 3: last year, four twelve this year, and then Triple A
Speaker 3: is the same because they use the big league ball
Speaker 3: four twenty one to four twenty four. I have to
Speaker 3: like compare these minor league balls. I would love to
Speaker 3: like hire a fyssystem and have them look at it.
Speaker 3: My guess is that the seams are just we're way
Speaker 3: too high on these Double A and High A balls.
Speaker 3: And I think teams were saying, like, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Our pitchers are getting up to Triple A and throwing
Speaker 3: with a pool queue instead of you know, the official
Speaker 3: league balls basically that they were using in Double A.
Speaker 3: You remember the old ones in the Little League, And
Speaker 3: so I'm guessing that they tried to maybe bridge that
Speaker 3: gap a little bit, but in doing so and flattening
Speaker 3: those seams, I think we have a huge different That's
Speaker 3: my theory. I got to compare the balls, but regardless
Speaker 3: that's going to contribute some I still think Arius is clearly, clearly,
Speaker 3: clearly generated this uptick in power. What I'm just curious
Speaker 3: on is why did the Red Sox wait so long
Speaker 3: to bring this guy up to triple A? Is did
Speaker 3: they feel like you really needed to continue to just
Speaker 3: dominate and be one of the best hitters in the
Speaker 3: minor leagues double A. I understand he's twenty years old,
Speaker 3: but they've been so aggressive pushing him the last few years.
Speaker 3: He got a taste of double A at the end
Speaker 3: of the season last year for ten games. I thought
Speaker 3: that was interesting. But I'm excited to see just what
Speaker 3: the bad of ball data looks like. I think there's
Speaker 3: a clear uptick and power that is tangible and will translate.
Speaker 3: But does it translate one hundred percent in triple A
Speaker 3: or is it, you know, eighty eight percent of what
Speaker 3: we've seen so far. That's why I'm curious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what I will say is, like Roman, I'm
Speaker 2: looking at other top prospects for the Red Sox in
Speaker 2: recent memory, and like Roman played what ninety four games
Speaker 2: in Portland and then played ninety three games in Worcester,
Speaker 2: so it was pretty even. And those were over the
Speaker 2: course of two years. With a guy like Marcelo Meyer,
Speaker 2: I'm curious how he did it as well. I'm pulling
Speaker 2: him up at the moment. Meyer in twenty four played
Speaker 2: the whole year in Portland, so that was seventy seven games.
Speaker 2: Meyer played one hundred and twenty games in Portland in
Speaker 2: forty three games in Worcester. Now, obviously this is like
Speaker 2: injury dependent and situationally dependent, but I wonder if they
Speaker 2: kind of like their top prospects hanging out in Double
Speaker 2: A just because of the competition and the level of
Speaker 2: competition there. Double A like.
Speaker 3: It's stuff you're pitching.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, the stuff is just better in Double A
Speaker 2: than in Triple A. But in Triple A guys know
Speaker 2: how to pitch and they throw eighty nine.
Speaker 3: It's a good point. And when you're ris in you
Speaker 3: have such good bats to ball. He could almost like
Speaker 3: his eyes could almost get like a little bit laster on.
Speaker 3: I know he's over for right to start, but it
Speaker 3: is a good point there, and I think it's something
Speaker 3: worth noting. Regardless they make the move to get him
Speaker 3: up to triple A. You know, here at the end
Speaker 3: of July and you look at this Red Sox team
Speaker 3: that is very much in it now five games over
Speaker 3: five hundred, which is just ridiculous, and they acquire Curtis
Speaker 3: Meade huge, so glad he dodged the bullet. They're getting
Speaker 3: hit on the hand or on the wrist. But you
Speaker 3: look at Arius and say, this is a pretty clear
Speaker 3: easy way to potentially upgrade your shortstop position if Monasterio
Speaker 3: is struggling or whoever you plug in is struggling. And
Speaker 3: I'm not even saying, you know, you expect this guy
Speaker 3: to be Arius to be a one twenty WRC plus
Speaker 3: out of the gate. But he's gonna give you some thump.
Speaker 3: He's going to defend, and he's gonna give you, I think,
Speaker 3: pretty good at bats. You put all that you can
Speaker 3: be in the nine hole, and he's gonna be valuable
Speaker 3: to you. So I'm looking at Arius as a guy
Speaker 3: that if this team's competitive, could really help them down
Speaker 3: the stretch.
Speaker 2: I think there's going to be an external addition here
Speaker 2: that might mitigate that. So yeah, stay tuned to the
Speaker 2: Just Baseball Show on a Tuesday afternoon to maybe get
Speaker 2: in the way of Franklin Arius getting up and playing
Speaker 2: shortstop for the Boston Wells this year.
Speaker 3: Last thing I'll say on that, because I know what
Speaker 3: we'll talk about on the JB Show is how untouchable
Speaker 3: is Franklin Arius to this front office to where like,
Speaker 3: if you're able to get a zach Netto or it's
Speaker 3: a good question, then all of a sudden, are you
Speaker 3: willing to do it? I know this prospect show, so
Speaker 3: people are probably like, oh, no, no, no, no, but
Speaker 3: right or right, I could see Craig Breswell, a guy
Speaker 3: who really wants to prove the I mean, a playoff
Speaker 3: run gives him so much job security. Oh for what
Speaker 3: turbulent year this has been setting himself up with a shortstop.
Speaker 3: The thing is is Arius is a better defender than
Speaker 3: Netto right now by a good bit. So it's a
Speaker 3: fun conversation I'm looking forward to having on the JB Show.
Speaker 2: But if I told you that you got three and
Speaker 2: a half years of zach Netto and he could roll
Speaker 2: out of bed and go thirty thirty at Fenway par
Speaker 2: you're thinking, you're thinking two, three, four times over about this.
Speaker 2: So again, it's a JB Show conversation that we will
Speaker 2: have shortly. Jonathan Santucci pitcher in the New York Mets organization.
Speaker 2: He is up from Double A to Triple A. Santucci
Speaker 2: has been a bright spot in an underwhelming season at
Speaker 2: the major league. In minor league level for the New
Speaker 2: York Mets. Twenty three year old lefty at A Duke
Speaker 2: Santucci this year ninety and two thirds innings with Double
Speaker 2: A Binghamton at A three five seven ERA. He's punching
Speaker 2: out twelve hitters per nine innings, one hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: k's in ninety and two thirds innings he has faced
Speaker 2: three hundred and seventy five batters and four have taken
Speaker 2: him deep. That's hard to wrap your brain around. But
Speaker 2: Santucci deserved call up to Triple A Syracuse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the big test because seems like all
Speaker 3: of these Mets pitching prospects gets the Triple aqs and
Speaker 3: just just can't throw the way that they were thrown before.
Speaker 3: And that's the Triple A ball thing in general that
Speaker 3: we've talked about. But I don't know, it's just been
Speaker 3: on a different level when you get to Syracuse, for
Speaker 3: like Tong and Whenninger and Sproute, you remember how shaky
Speaker 3: he was when he got up there, and it's mostly
Speaker 3: a triple A thing, But it's just it's been very
Speaker 3: tangible with Syracuse in particular, slow start for Santucci and
Speaker 3: then he's just snapped into it. If you remember he
Speaker 3: had a great second half last year. But Santucci, if
Speaker 3: you go from May eighth onwards, so you're really just
Speaker 3: eliminating five starts. The first five starts, he's striking out
Speaker 3: thirty one percent of batters walking nine point eight, so
Speaker 3: slightly elevated. But if you're a ten percent with his
Speaker 3: stuff as a left like that's palatable. The concern is
Speaker 3: you get to triple a all of a sudden, that ten
Speaker 3: percent turns into twelve thirteen real quick. So that's just
Speaker 3: something a monitor. But it's better because he was walking
Speaker 3: a lot of guys in the beginning. The ability to
Speaker 3: strike guys out that you alluded to from the left
Speaker 3: side is just what draws you here, and the fact
Speaker 3: that the command has been better as the years progressed
Speaker 3: overall is really exciting when we had him on the
Speaker 3: show earlier this year. Such an easy guy to bet on,
Speaker 3: it's easy to forget that it wasn't really focused on
Speaker 3: pitching until a little bit later in his collegiate career.
Speaker 3: So this is a guy that, yeah, he's twenty three
Speaker 3: years old, but I think is a little bit more
Speaker 3: raw the pitcher than your typical collegiate twenty three year
Speaker 3: old guy. So, you know, I think people might be
Speaker 3: looking at him next year at twenty four years old,
Speaker 3: is getting ready for his big league debut. I doubt they, Adam,
Speaker 3: you know, they have him debut this year for you know,
Speaker 3: some of the things that we talked about actually off
Speaker 3: the year. It's like, if you don't have to add
Speaker 3: a guy to the forty with the potential lockout, why
Speaker 3: would you, you know, for the sake of two or
Speaker 3: three starts at the end of the year, now, eliminate
Speaker 3: yourself from being able to communicate with your prospect when
Speaker 3: it's locked out. Wouldn't make sense sense. So people might
Speaker 3: look at Santucci next year and say, ah, he's twenty four,
Speaker 3: it's time to go. But I don't think i'd look
Speaker 3: at him as the same as like another college twenty
Speaker 3: four year old arm it will be time to go
Speaker 3: and it will be time for him to debut and
Speaker 3: potentially impact the team there. But I'd still look at
Speaker 3: it and say like, hey, this is a guy from
Speaker 3: like pitching age that would be more like twenty one
Speaker 3: twenty two to me. So I still think there's a
Speaker 3: lot of here to continue to be had. He's still
Speaker 3: finding that third pitch more consistently, but I think he's
Speaker 3: made strides in that regard, and I think he's gonna
Speaker 3: be a really volatile, like not really valid. I think
Speaker 3: he's gonna be a volatile four starter where you see
Speaker 3: flashes of this like high end three French two when
Speaker 3: he's on, and then you're gonna have some of those
Speaker 3: frustrating addings where he can't get you out of the
Speaker 3: fourth and as he progresses, hopefully you know, he skews
Speaker 3: more towards the uh the sixth inning starts.
Speaker 2: Yep, one hundred percent. All right. We will push to
Speaker 2: other Triple A call ups in a moment, but before that,
Speaker 2: let's wish another Triple A call up to go over
Speaker 2: for you. It's Louis stal leone of the Baltimore Orioles
Speaker 2: daily OneD twenty three year old left handed pitcher Louis
Speaker 2: da Leone this year with Double A Chesapeake is a
Speaker 2: bay sock eighty one innings. He's punched out one hundred
Speaker 2: guys compared to forty two walks. He's got a four
Speaker 2: to three ERA so far in Double A. He is
Speaker 2: in a somewhat depleted oriole system. They've taken a down term.
Speaker 2: It seems like a organization health wise after so many
Speaker 2: graduations about two three years ago. But Luis de Leone
Speaker 2: is certainly one of the marquee arms in this organization.
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably a guy that we skews just slightly lower on.
Speaker 3: And then I would say some others just because I
Speaker 3: just don't have a lot of confidence in the strike
Speaker 3: throwing ability. But it's gotten better overall through stretches and
Speaker 3: as your seasons progress. But it's just loud stuff from
Speaker 3: the left side. And I think that's the biggest thing
Speaker 3: is you're just not going to stuff like this from
Speaker 3: the left side very often. This is another fun TRIPLEA test. Hey,
Speaker 3: you got stuff commands a little bit of the frustration.
Speaker 3: It's just kind of I'm trying to find the best
Speaker 3: word for it. He doesn't really stride that far down
Speaker 3: the mound. It's this upright delivery that I think almost
Speaker 3: works in his favor because it looks like the balls
Speaker 3: coming from behind him. It's very upright, doesn't stride that
Speaker 3: far down the mound and stays close and then you
Speaker 3: just get this whip around of the arm where you're
Speaker 3: getting this fastball about ninety five miles per hour. But
Speaker 3: I just look at this, the feel for the entire
Speaker 3: arsenal and the fact that, like everything is, there's not
Speaker 3: much vertical separation. It's mostly horizontal. I think that short,
Speaker 3: whippy arm action with the ball the way he had
Speaker 3: the ball like can kind of help that. But he's
Speaker 3: a difficult arm for me to project up at the
Speaker 3: big league level. I think seeing him in triple A
Speaker 3: will help a ton, But I mean, we're seeing him
Speaker 3: running up to ninety seven. We're seeing i think, some
Speaker 3: really lively stuff and a slider that just can be disgusting,
Speaker 3: that just can overwhelm hitters, and a splitter that has
Speaker 3: come along. So he's got middle rotation stuff. I just
Speaker 3: at points I'm a little bit curious of like how
Speaker 3: consistent that can be. He also wields two different change ups.
Speaker 3: It's a really fascinating arm. But I think the challenge
Speaker 3: I have is there's not and this might work in
Speaker 3: his favor, and maybe I should consider this is that
Speaker 3: there's not a lot of guys that can compare him
Speaker 3: to and say, oh, this is a reference point of
Speaker 3: a guy that's done this successfully, and I think that
Speaker 3: might work in his favor. And the respect that you
Speaker 3: got the four seamer of the sinker, I'll mix in
Speaker 3: this this change up as well. That's kind of a
Speaker 3: copycat to the sinker that I think really helps. And
Speaker 3: then also a splitter and a slider, so it's a
Speaker 3: deep mix. He's going to need to execute better. But
Speaker 3: when you've got that much to work with from the
Speaker 3: left side, I think you can be a little bit
Speaker 3: more patient on a sixty percent strike rate. The challenge
Speaker 3: is does that strike rate drop below sixty in Triple A?
Speaker 3: And if it does, then he's going to maybe be
Speaker 3: there for a little bit. That's okay, though at twenty
Speaker 3: three years old, he won't turn twenty four until after
Speaker 3: you know, Triple A opening day in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see what comes of Luis da Leone,
Speaker 2: but another oriole prospect out a notable promotion here Vehiva
Speaker 2: Aloi Aloi was what I believe, the thirty first overall pick. Yeah,
Speaker 2: thirty first overall pick. Last year out of Arkansas. Alloi
Speaker 2: won the Golden Spikes.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yes he did. And also one thing I
Speaker 3: missed on de Leon. He's riding up to Triple A
Speaker 3: on a heater twenty four and two thirds innings. He's
Speaker 3: allowed you two earned runs in that span twenty eight strikeouts,
Speaker 3: so I hope he can continue that momentum. But yeah,
Speaker 3: Aloi won the Golden Spikes, and yeah, that was a
Speaker 3: big part of the intrigue.
Speaker 2: Cool college trajectory started his college career at Sacramento State.
Speaker 2: He's from Hawaii, then obviously transferred to Arkansas for two years.
Speaker 2: At Arkansas, he was outstanding well of the Golden Spikes
Speaker 2: last year and this year his first full year of
Speaker 2: professional baseball, and in eighty four games with HIA Frederick,
Speaker 2: this guy hit an even three hundred, slugged over five hundred.
Speaker 2: It was an eight to seventy four ops. He's got
Speaker 2: fifteen homers. He's twelve for thirteen in the stolen based department.
Speaker 2: He punches out a bit, There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 2: But Aloi has been a constant shortstop with a little
Speaker 2: bit of third base time as well. And Alois seems
Speaker 2: like a really good pick at thirty one. And I
Speaker 2: remember last year, I mean, everybody and their brother was
Speaker 2: talking about the concerns about Vihiva Aloy and that's how
Speaker 2: the Golden Spike's Award winner drops to thirty first overall.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And you know what's interesting is I had
Speaker 3: some of those concerns don't do to a degree with
Speaker 3: the whiff, But I think he's just shored up so
Speaker 3: many other aspects of his game that you can start
Speaker 3: to see the at least the fallback of like, Okay,
Speaker 3: you know you're concerned that Alloi may not hit enough,
Speaker 3: and that's valid. Seventy one percent contact, right, honestly, is
Speaker 3: better than I thought it would be this year. This
Speaker 3: is going to be the big test though, Right, you
Speaker 3: get up to double a as a college bat, does
Speaker 3: that contact rate slip to sixty five? Now you're up
Speaker 3: against it a little bit. He's striking out about twenty
Speaker 3: five and a half percent of the time, but one
Speaker 3: he's getting into the power pretty pretty comfortably two. He's
Speaker 3: defending well, you know, and I think some are a
Speaker 3: little bit more bullish on the glove, but I think
Speaker 3: he looks like he can. He's definitely gonna stick on
Speaker 3: the left side of the endfield. It's just is he
Speaker 3: a solid, solid shortstop or just a guy that can
Speaker 3: kind of just play average there. We'll see. But I
Speaker 3: think he's just proven that he's capable of giving you
Speaker 3: some value on the left side of the endfield, and
Speaker 3: I think it works. He's going to crush lefties and
Speaker 3: fill a roll that way. But I think what we're
Speaker 3: seeing from him this year is that like he's been
Speaker 3: able to produce against all pitch types. I think that's
Speaker 3: probably the most encouraging part is, you know, with some
Speaker 3: of the whiff concern with the way he sets up
Speaker 3: hands high, he's closed, it's a toe tap that sometimes
Speaker 3: he's just tardy sometimes and he cheats and he gets
Speaker 3: caught in between. To have a nine oh five ops
Speaker 3: against heaters and eight eighty two ops against breaking balls
Speaker 3: in a seven to seventy ops against you know, splits
Speaker 3: and changeups tells me he's kind of found a way
Speaker 3: to not kind of catch himself in between the contact
Speaker 3: rates are identical across the board seventy one, seventy one,
Speaker 3: seventy one. So I think this is a guy that's
Speaker 3: kind of learned how to compete against all pitch types.
Speaker 3: I think that really helps his case. It's stand out
Speaker 3: batspeed as well, and so I think there might be
Speaker 3: some adjustments still to be able to Like right now,
Speaker 3: I would just attack him hard inside and I think
Speaker 3: he's going to start to get more of that in
Speaker 3: double A. Just because of the way he set up
Speaker 3: where his hands are his swing, you could probably you know,
Speaker 3: tie him up a little bit. But the thing is
Speaker 3: is if you leave it over the heart like and
Speaker 3: he gets his hands extended like it's it's gone and
Speaker 3: it's to all fields. He inside outs a lot of homers.
Speaker 3: But I think that's the next thing for him is
Speaker 3: just being able to turn stuff around middle in pull
Speaker 3: them on the air a little bit more. But to
Speaker 3: have the success that Eloy has already had, given that
Speaker 3: he was a hit tool concerned guy, I think his
Speaker 3: encouraging and even if he struggles at double at the
Speaker 3: end of the year, I still think you look at
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six as a success and the big thing
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty seven, just being can he improve upon
Speaker 3: that with and double A. We'll see though, maybe he
Speaker 3: surprises us and kind of maintains the same with numbers.
Speaker 2: And tell you what, man, that clump of first round
Speaker 2: picks they had last year looks like it's paying off
Speaker 2: right now. Aloi has probably been better than many forecasted
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues. Ike Irish has been a heck
Speaker 2: of a lot better than many forecasted in the minor leagues.
Speaker 2: And then they used Bodine along with ten other pieces
Speaker 2: and a draft pick to go and get Shane Boss.
Speaker 2: So you have the trade asset that was available in Bodine,
Speaker 2: and Bodine's been amazing in the race system, So that
Speaker 2: could be in l in a certain sense there.
Speaker 3: But drafting W yeah, drafting W.
Speaker 2: But Eloie has been better than expected and Irish has
Speaker 2: certainly been better than expected.
Speaker 3: Irish has been awesome. Unfortunately it just went down with
Speaker 3: a meniscus. But to your point one thirty four WRC
Speaker 3: plus like stealing some bags sixteen homers. That was a
Speaker 3: big concern with Iris was like can he elevate the ball?
Speaker 3: This swing so flat and he's elevating more and it
Speaker 3: was a nice year for him and Hye. So you're
Speaker 3: gonna have a couple of your top guys from last
Speaker 3: year sept to start the year in double A. Irish
Speaker 3: would have been probably moving with ALOI two, which is unfortunate,
Speaker 3: but started the year in double and making their way
Speaker 3: coach to the big leagues for an Orioles team that
Speaker 3: I don't know what their direction is, but that helps
Speaker 3: no matter what.
Speaker 2: Dude, we know exactly what the Atlanta Braves direction is,
Speaker 2: and they've got a guy climbing the minor league ranks
Speaker 2: right now. In Tate the South the scene didn't realize
Speaker 2: his brother, what year older than him, ties in the
Speaker 2: Cup system as well. So Tate South A Scene here
Speaker 2: is getting the bump up to double A at nineteen
Speaker 2: years old. He doesn't turn twenty until after the minor
Speaker 2: league season ends this year, but in eighty nine games
Speaker 2: between Low and High A for the South A Scene
Speaker 2: this year, he's hitting two to eighty with a four
Speaker 2: to ten VP in an eight eighty ops. He's got
Speaker 2: twelve homers, he's got forty five stolen bases, he's walking
Speaker 2: a lot, and he just wrapped up a thirty eight
Speaker 2: game stint in high a rome where he hit two
Speaker 2: sixty with a three eighty OBP stole nine bags and
Speaker 2: it's an eight oh six ops.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been awesome to watch the fact that's still
Speaker 3: nineteen years old and doing what he's doing. He's really
Speaker 3: advanced at the play at South the Scene and when
Speaker 3: he watched just what what he's able to do with
Speaker 3: his at bats. It's hard to it's hard to strike
Speaker 3: him out, and it's hard to I feel like, I
Speaker 3: know he's punching out twenty two percent of the time,
Speaker 3: but I just I don't really know what the exact
Speaker 3: game plan would be to get him, Like I think
Speaker 3: right now, it's just a matter of sometimes he gets
Speaker 3: he gets a little bit too deep in accounts because
Speaker 3: he's patient, and then you know, maybe hole swing and miss.
Speaker 3: But overall, like you're liable to give up an extra
Speaker 3: base hit with all pitch types against South the Scene,
Speaker 3: he's more so I think how I should have phrased it,
Speaker 3: But nine to twenty one ops against fastballs, eight against
Speaker 3: breaking wells, eight oh seven against splits and changeups, and
Speaker 3: again kind of mirrored contact right seventy five percent roughly
Speaker 3: across the way the swings that he's able to get
Speaker 3: off to where you see him turn around velocity to
Speaker 3: the pull side and hammer it. You see him drive
Speaker 3: the ball backside really well and have the success there.
Speaker 3: I think the big thing with him is probably not
Speaker 3: a shortstop, and that does hurt the value a little bit.
Speaker 3: Like I think he's probably going to end up at
Speaker 3: second base, and when that happens, you know, how much
Speaker 3: power is he going to hit for is probably important.
Speaker 3: But he has been really impactful in the base pats
Speaker 3: A plus runners forty five you know, bags on fifty
Speaker 3: five tries, and I think there's reason to believe that
Speaker 3: Satzee's going to be able to get into two more
Speaker 3: power as he develops, given that he's nineteen and he
Speaker 3: has this feel to elevate that's there. The evenings don't
Speaker 3: jump off the page, but the quality of contact floor
Speaker 3: is really high fifty percent hard hit rate. He just
Speaker 3: finds the barrel consistently jagsabastie of ninety miles per hour,
Speaker 3: So it's hard to craft a game plan. I've seen
Speaker 3: some people talk about like high fastballs as a way
Speaker 3: to get him, but I've also seen him turn around
Speaker 3: high fastballs pretty well. I mean he doesn't chase above
Speaker 3: the top and if you tug it down, it's also
Speaker 3: going to be hammered, So hanging breaking balls are gone.
Speaker 3: He doesn't chase them as well. So he does a
Speaker 3: really good job of shrinking the zone and dominating within
Speaker 3: it and having success against all pitch types. Think the
Speaker 3: airpole side will be an area to just get a
Speaker 3: little bit more consistent with. But South a scene. I
Speaker 3: think there's a reason why the Braves are moving fast
Speaker 3: with this kid. It was thirty eight games in high
Speaker 3: A and you know, I think what we're already seeing
Speaker 3: him get up to double Hartman isn't even getting that
Speaker 3: kind of treatment, and I think it says something about
Speaker 3: what they feel about the hitting ability of South the scene.
Speaker 2: Hey, you know what, sometimes it's Mateios, sometimes it's Jim Jarvis,
Speaker 2: sometimes it's toss on Kim. Maybe they do the vond
Speaker 2: grisome thing with South the scene and he's just up
Speaker 2: for the home stretch.
Speaker 3: You never know what this team did.
Speaker 2: I mean, they have tried to piecemeal short stuff together
Speaker 2: and I don't think they want Nick Allen back. But
Speaker 2: Nick Allen could be kind of welcomed in terms of
Speaker 2: just stability for them at the moment. All right, A
Speaker 2: couple more that we got to go over here. Next
Speaker 2: one a double A call up is Marco Dingis in
Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Brewers organization. Dingis was awesome in High A,
Speaker 2: gotten up to Biloxi over the course of the weekend.
Speaker 2: Dingis was one for nine in his first weekend a
Speaker 2: double a baseball butt hit two seventy with a three
Speaker 2: to ninety OBP. It was an eight sixty OPS with
Speaker 2: the Wisconsin timber Rattlers at the High A level hit
Speaker 2: eleven homers, drove in forty one and sixty one ball
Speaker 2: games here. Dingis was already good in High A last
Speaker 2: year for fifty one games, so now we're talking about
Speaker 2: an one hundred and twelve games sample in High AH
Speaker 2: had an eight to fifty OPS with twenty one jacks
Speaker 2: and fewer than one hundred punch outs. So impressive stuff
Speaker 2: from Marco Dingis. And he joins a loaded, loaded, loaded
Speaker 2: Biloxi Shucker lineup.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and it just gets even more loaded. It's
Speaker 3: a shame that I think he just he's dealing with
Speaker 3: an injury again. I think I'm gonna guess it's arm
Speaker 3: related because he's hitting obviously, but he's just thaching a
Speaker 3: ton and it's something that plagued him last year. He
Speaker 3: was off to a great start defensively this year, and
Speaker 3: I think that's a big thing with Dingers that you
Speaker 3: want to see develop, is like, if this guy can
Speaker 3: be even close to an average catcher with the tools
Speaker 3: that he has, like this could be a really fun player.
Speaker 3: He has huge offensive upside and you've thrown out thirty
Speaker 3: percent of base dealers through his first six to sixteen
Speaker 3: starts a catcher this year, and then we've just seen
Speaker 3: him dhing pretty much since then, which I'd assume is
Speaker 3: something related to the arm. But he's been getting his
Speaker 3: ab still and has been very productive. And I think
Speaker 3: this is still one of the more underrated guys in
Speaker 3: a system that it's like very easy to get under.
Speaker 3: It become underrated in because there's eight thousand guys like
Speaker 3: Blake Burke is Homer ten times in the last like
Speaker 3: two weeks, it feels like, and no one cares because
Speaker 3: he's like an after thoughts somehow in that lineup. Dings
Speaker 3: it's another guy with some of the best batspeed in
Speaker 3: the Brewers organization. There's with and that's for sure, and
Speaker 3: I think that's where the width becomes more palatable if
Speaker 3: he's a catcher versus like a first basement DH, so
Speaker 3: it's really important for him developed there, but he hammers secondaries.
Speaker 3: What's fascinating is the bat speed is so good, yet
Speaker 3: fastballs have been a little bit of the of the
Speaker 3: challenge versus the slug he's had against breaking ball. So
Speaker 3: to me, a guy that's probably a little bit in
Speaker 3: between us. He's playing with different things mechanically, and he's
Speaker 3: a guy that definitely likes to tinker. But Tims is
Speaker 3: just one of those players that I look at and
Speaker 3: I say he could he could be that guy that
Speaker 3: just explodes you know, this year, next year or whatever,
Speaker 3: and people are like, where did he come from? But
Speaker 3: it's always been there. I don't think anybody in the
Speaker 3: Brewers Worg would be surprised. But the biggest thing for
Speaker 3: me is I just I wish we could see you
Speaker 3: know him catch. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: twenty two years old, consistently been solid at the lower levels.
Speaker 3: Now gets a good challenge in double A.
Speaker 2: Yep, no doubt about that, all right. A couple of
Speaker 2: low A call ups so guys that are coming off
Speaker 2: the complex. We're going to clump a couple of San
Speaker 2: Francisco Giants here together. Jessuar Gonzalez is a top one
Speaker 2: hundred prospect in Major League Baseball. Luis Hernandez also is
Speaker 2: getting the bump up to Lowe. I believe the San
Speaker 2: Jose Giants there, but jos War Gonzalez obviously the big
Speaker 2: ticket guy that is making the move to Loway in
Speaker 2: the Giant organization. He's eighteen years old and in thirty
Speaker 2: games of the complex he had a nine to seventy ops.
Speaker 2: He walked twenty times in thirty games, drove in twenty
Speaker 2: four and hit three forty three.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, when you look at what Josh Wark
Speaker 3: can possibly be here in terms of the skill set,
Speaker 3: the defensive ability, the power upside is the fun part too,
Speaker 3: because he didn't really get into that in the complex.
Speaker 3: Was thirty one games at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: but you know, only two homers there. But I just
Speaker 3: wonder how much he was really challenged, Like he was patient.
Speaker 3: He didn't see a ton of strikes and when he
Speaker 3: did he found his hits. He walked a lot, and
Speaker 3: it's really hard to assess players at the complex. That's
Speaker 3: one where you just got to like go and see them.
Speaker 3: The old eye test is probably going to help you
Speaker 3: a little bit more in the complex league extend and
Speaker 3: you know, anything you're going to get from a data perspective,
Speaker 3: But just seeing this kid defend and seeing what he
Speaker 3: could possibly be in that regard to is really fun
Speaker 3: and just was consistent pretty much all thirty plus of
Speaker 3: the games. It felt like he's at least getting on
Speaker 3: base one to two times, usually two to three and
Speaker 3: a lot of times for a game there. So seeing
Speaker 3: some more pitches in the zone being challenged a little
Speaker 3: bit more is going to be a fun challenge for Gonzales,
Speaker 3: and I think if he responds well to low A,
Speaker 3: you're going to see this guy skyrocket across He's already
Speaker 3: ranked really highly, but skyrocket across the industry. And remember
Speaker 3: it's dealt with a little bit of a hamstring thing
Speaker 3: at the start of the year, so you know, maybe
Speaker 3: that hampered him a little bit in terms of getting
Speaker 3: the most out of all of his tools. Again, this
Speaker 3: is a guy that has one of the top shortstop
Speaker 3: prospect in baseball, upside as a switch hitter with the defense,
Speaker 3: with the speed with the power potential. If it all
Speaker 3: comes together and I think starting to show it at
Speaker 3: low A, we'll probably start to I think kick the
Speaker 3: hype machine into overdrive a little here. But one other
Speaker 3: note with him, like average exavositi eighty nine point five
Speaker 3: miles per hour fre Gonzalz, like so that the raws
Speaker 3: in there, it's just a matter of, you know, just
Speaker 3: elevating more consistently, because he can get a little bit
Speaker 3: slacky with the swing and a lot ends up kind
Speaker 3: of getting hit into the ground. Louis Hernandez is a
Speaker 3: child essentially, he's seventeen years old. They've pushed him super
Speaker 3: aggressively after signing him for five million dollars. Remember he
Speaker 3: was playing like professional ball in Venezuela. I'm like, he's
Speaker 3: one of the most experienced. He was one of the
Speaker 3: most experienced sixteen year old's entering pro Bawl kind of
Speaker 3: rivaling like the Solad type of experience where it's just
Speaker 3: he's so ahead of his years. But at the same time,
Speaker 3: there was some a little bit more turbulence with Hernandez,
Speaker 3: but he finished the season really strong at the Complex
Speaker 3: and I think final twenty games one twenty three WRC
Speaker 3: plus nine oh four ohps walked more than he struck out,
Speaker 3: And I think sending that momentum for Hernandez into Low
Speaker 3: A is going to be really exciting because it's a
Speaker 3: compact guy, you know, but he's able to have that
Speaker 3: kind of outslug, the frame type of bat speed, and
Speaker 3: he just has this natural field to elevate the baseball
Speaker 3: and backspin into all fields. The question is going to
Speaker 3: be defensively, he doesn't provide nearly the value. I think
Speaker 3: he ultimately ends up at second base, but you have
Speaker 3: an offensive driven second baseman who can hit for average
Speaker 3: and slug. Potentially, I think you could have a really
Speaker 3: fun type of player here that could be like, you know,
Speaker 3: a little like Assie Albi's ish if it asks, if
Speaker 3: it all comes together, and I don't even want to
Speaker 3: give a comp on a seventeen year old. He's literally
Speaker 3: a kid, So I'm just going.
Speaker 2: To he's a fun one, a fun one.
Speaker 3: If he's seventeen years old at low A, he's got
Speaker 3: all the time in the world just to kind of
Speaker 3: figure things out, but also push that ceiling higher.
Speaker 2: No doubt about that. Lastcot. We got to talk about
Speaker 2: another Brewer prospect. Braylan and Tunaz is up off the complex.
Speaker 2: He gets to low A here and Tuna is still
Speaker 2: eighteen years old. He doesn't turn nineteen until the end
Speaker 2: of November. This year Braylan on Tuna is fifty eight
Speaker 2: games with the Brewers the Complex, nine homers, thirteen bag
Speaker 2: hit two eighty two with an eight ninety ohps. The
Speaker 2: other thing that jumps out he caid eighty one times
Speaker 2: in fifty eight games at the complex. But excited to
Speaker 2: see what this looks like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the fun thing with him is that
Speaker 3: the power is immense for an eighteen year old there,
Speaker 3: and we saw it ten homers in fifty nine games
Speaker 3: or fIF nine homers in fifty eight games excuse me
Speaker 3: at the complex and then he's already homered at Lowa here.
Speaker 3: We've seen this dude scorch baseballs, like absolutely scorch baseballs,
Speaker 3: I think at the Complex this year a couple north
Speaker 3: of one thirteen, one to twelve. So when you're getting
Speaker 3: that out of a eighteen year old, the power potential
Speaker 3: is is just so so exciting. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: he's also swinging missing a ton, so it's gonna be
Speaker 3: an interesting challenge for intunies to prove that, hey, I
Speaker 3: struck out thirty one percent of the time of the
Speaker 3: Complex I'm going to somehow not do that at LOWA.
Speaker 3: But I think some of the hope there with the
Speaker 3: Brewers is that honing in on the approach not having
Speaker 3: it's still going to be effective wildness at Loway, but
Speaker 3: maybe not to the same degree I think the Complex League.
Speaker 3: I'm scared for my life LOWA. I just don't really
Speaker 3: know where this guy's going to go with it if
Speaker 3: I were a hitter. But we'll see. I think that'll
Speaker 3: be a fun wrinkle. But the fact that a guy
Speaker 3: that was legitimately putrid in the DSL last year one
Speaker 3: home run in fifty five games, hit two fifteen in
Speaker 3: the DSL last year, has followed that up with nine
Speaker 3: homers in a one to twelve WRC plus at the
Speaker 3: Complex League this year.
Speaker 2: One.
Speaker 3: The fact that we've talked about this when we picked
Speaker 3: him as a breakout guy. The fact that the Brewers
Speaker 3: didn't have him repeat the DSL says that they saw
Speaker 3: something in him. The fact that he did what he
Speaker 3: did now in the DSL power wise or excuse me,
Speaker 3: in the Complex League power wise validates what they saw
Speaker 3: on him, and now I think the low A test
Speaker 3: is going to be. This is where it's Brewers player development. Man, Like,
Speaker 3: if this guy somehow gets better at LOWA to finish
Speaker 3: the year, I at tip the cap, but I think
Speaker 3: it's already a w season for him given what he
Speaker 3: did at the Complex League after legitimately being DSL repeat
Speaker 3: candidate one oh one and them not doing it got you.
Speaker 2: All right, that's what we got, man, those are all
Speaker 2: of our promotions.
