Speaker 1: to do our first prospect report of the season. If

00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to do a first prospect before of

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: the season. This is the first year that we've been

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: like comfortable in the podcasting space now that we're with

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: Foul Territory where we can actually talk about prospects, the

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: mess and allows talk about prospects, and we have so

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: many notes right here, and we're so excited again to

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: talk about maybe outpours of thirty different players ranging Syracuse, Binghamton, Brooklyn,

24
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: Port Saint Lucy. It's really it's really amazing. I can't

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: wait to get it startled. But Mark, where do you want.

26
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: To get this one started? Yeah?

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I also want to preface to that, I

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: think you guys are gonna see a lot more of

29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 3: this on the podcast too. It's not going to be

30
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: like every week we're doing prospect reports aready out of control,

31
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: but I think yeah, maybe like once or twice a

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 3: month when there's big news.

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: Obviously we're gonna mention this stuff.

34
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 3: But it's cool now that we can do just simply

35
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: prospect episodes as well.

36
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: You guys used to love that stuff when.

37
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: We were able to do it that the prospect reports,

38
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: so we're definitely bringing them back and they get to

39
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: be their own video too. Just in case you're not

40
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: interested in that content, you can just stick with the

41
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: regular New York Mets, but these are gonna be guys

42
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: that are on the team, and especially when we're starting

43
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: in Syracuse, it's pitching. It's pitching as the name of

44
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: the game in Syracuse. There's not many actual prospects on

45
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: the hitting side in Syracuse right now. In Triple A,

46
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: there's some guys that are doing some interesting things, like

47
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: you mentioned to me Rowdy Jordan hit a ball one twelve,

48
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: Like that's cool, it's cool, hit them all really hard.

49
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, we're talking about pitching,

50
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: and of course it has to start with Brandon spro

51
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: And the positive is that we've seen a little bit

52
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 3: more at Triple A. They've been playing longer, so we

53
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: have more info and more data on these guys, and

54
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: Brandon sprote way better in a second start after his first.

55
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about his first start that was against

56
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: the Wusocks Woocechester Wusax. I think they are the Wooster

57
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: Wusas Wooster Wousox where he had struggles with some really

58
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: good hitters in that lineup like Romananthy Marcelo Meyer. But

59
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: in his second start that came last week, through four innings,

60
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: only gave up one hit, one run, but two walks

61
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: and then only two strikeouts. He's still not exactly missing

62
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: tons of bats they're only seven swings and misses by

63
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: Spro in that game. He's especially not that good right

64
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: now putting a hitter is away with two strikes, like

65
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: he was getting ahead in this one more so than

66
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: he was in the past. With something else that's crazy

67
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: with Sprot, something I can't even conceive if I guess

68
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: the triple as kind of happens that he is getting

69
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: platooned against, where he's facing these minor league lineups that

70
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: are getting stacked and stacked and stacked with lefties, and

71
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: we know that's going through something that Spro's going to

72
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: deal with, especially when he gets up to the major

73
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: league level at some point, hopefully this season, because he

74
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: has become really just more of a sinker slyder guy,

75
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: and that's a recipe for success against right handed batteries,

76
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: but one that he has struggled with it, but against

77
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: left handed batters. We heard last month on the podcast

78
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: Nick Pollock, Pittureless comped him to Brandon fot because Brandon

79
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: fought now for a couple of years in the majors,

80
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: has struggled with that with a really good sweeper, really

81
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: good two seamer sinker, but nothing against the lefties. But

82
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: something cool that Sproke did in this start. This was

83
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: against the rail Riders, which is the Yankees Triple A team,

84
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: So we probably did face two of the four best

85
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: lineups and all of Triple A baseball in his first

86
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: two starts, which is, you don't take that Yankee long.

87
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: It's still pretty good that Yankee triple.

88
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: You you've always had this like weird like hard on

89
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: for the Yankees minor leagues, and they think I'm tired

90
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: of the Yankees minor league has been great.

91
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: They don't produce anybody enough of this. I mean, Ben

92
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: Rerisce looks pretty good right now talking about Yankeees not

93
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: producing anybody same. But Austin Wells it is not really

94
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: hitting that well past that first cheap over run he got.

95
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: But something cool from Sprote. He was much more comfortable

96
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 1: in this star against the heavy left handed lineup with

97
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: changeups and four seamers. Also before we do even go on,

98
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: but we're talking about the Triple A lineup. These are

99
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: not off a very good lineups. These are a lot

100
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: of quadrupule types of holder hire. So the fact that

101
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: again the Red Slix think got by far the best.

102
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: Same with the Norfolk tides, the oral serials. Besides that,

103
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of just a lot of slop and garbage,

104
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: but a lot of guys who can take a professional

105
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: at that, which is kind of why this is a

106
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: fun spot for Spro to be kind of fine tuning

107
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: his stuff. But again, a lot more change ups. He

108
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: threw forty five pitches to lefties in this start, which

109
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: was almost two thirds of all his pitches stacklighted against lefties,

110
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: really annoying. Ten of those forty five pitches were change ups.

111
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: The command on it was still spotty. He threw some

112
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: in the zone. I don't know if he was intending

113
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: to throw the ones in the zone that he actually

114
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: did because some of them wands up middle and middle.

115
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: But it got fifty percent whists, It got some chases.

116
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: He needs to get that change up. That was the

117
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: pitch that was supposed to kind of be an output

118
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: for him as he came through Florida and through the

119
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: lower miners. He's kind of gone away from it now

120
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: over the last year. He's kind of lost the feel

121
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: for a little bit more as he's progressed. But that

122
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: if he wants to get lefties out the next level,

123
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: that's the pitch. I know what the Mets are looking at.

124
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: I want to see develop him. Also, his fastball shape

125
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: isn't very good, but he was much more willing to

126
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: throw this one in this start at high in the

127
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: zone against left handed bathers. Still got ups in ninety

128
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: six ninety seven in the cold second start of the year,

129
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: So hopefully that works up to ninety eight and ninety

130
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: nine by the time it warms up and he warms up.

131
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: But it's a nice This was a really nice step

132
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: in the right direction for spro, someone that we need

133
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: to take some steps in the right directions from going

134
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: to the edm at the major league level of this season.

135
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, luckily the Mets pitching so far has

136
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: been pretty solid this year, so there's not as much

137
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 3: urgency as maybe some people thought coming out of spring

138
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: training for a guy like Brandon sprot to be up

139
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: at the major league level just yet. But yeah, I mean,

140
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: like it's it's very difficult at times to judge because,

141
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: like you said, these lineups are annoying and scrappy, But

142
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: maybe that's also such a really good test for a

143
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: guy like Brandon Ssbroke, who had dominated every single level

144
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: and we have seen. Triple A has been a little

145
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: bit of a learning curve for him, so it's good

146
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: that he's figuring it out, trying to understand what's going

147
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 3: on there. Like you said, that change up is so

148
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: vital to a guy like Brandon Sproke, because if you

149
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: can't get left handed hitters out, it just completely nukes

150
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: the ceiling of a guy like Brandon Sproke, who has

151
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: been so good against right hand and batter. So I

152
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 3: think that's something that the Mets probably are going to

153
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: wait and see him and develop him, make sure there's

154
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: no rush right now at all to get him to

155
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: the major league level, and he will eventually be on

156
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: this maybe even again in that kind of Max Cranicky

157
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 3: role to start the year, maybe not as a starter,

158
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: but maybe out in the bullpen getting a couple innings

159
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: at a time, Max Crancose budo type roles that we've

160
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 3: seen with guys.

161
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: In the past.

162
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: The guy that I obviously love, love for a while

163
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 3: is Blade Tidwell. He's had two rough starts. The command

164
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: is kind of all over place after that first amazing start.

165
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: This is the guy that I don't know why. I

166
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: have no reason outside of my pure bias from loving

167
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: him during the draft and loving him at University of Tennessee,

168
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 3: where I just think at some point it's gonna weirdly

169
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: click for him.

170
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: Maybe it's gonna take a little while.

171
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: The stuff in college was obviously very good, and we've

172
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: seen at times and stuff has been very good in

173
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: the minor league levels, but he just has a really,

174
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: really really hard time consistently giving good outings at the

175
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 3: Triple A level, consistently giving good outings at the Double

176
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 3: A level where the command is all over the place.

177
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: So maybe again, I think at the major league level

178
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 3: he might be better than we think. I'm still believing

179
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 3: in my boy Blade Tidwell, but the consistency and the

180
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: command issues are the thing that are really holding him

181
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 3: back right now.

182
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this, I think right now, well

183
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: this stuff is as good as this literally ever looks like.

184
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: Since he's been inside the miss organization, I think he's

185
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: had some struggles with where he's going to find his

186
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: arm slot, like what pitches he's going to use when,

187
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: like kind of what he the pitcher he wants to be.

188
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: But right now, to these first three starts to Triple A,

189
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: like the stuff like he's positive stuff grades and all

190
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: five of his pitches, like the fastball's popping upper nineties

191
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: seventeen nineteen inches of inver induced vertical break, which is

192
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: kind of that like rising action. You get the top

193
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: of his own And.

194
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: We know that's big too, because Lance Brosdowski for end

195
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: of the podcast just put out a big video how

196
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: the ball in the shapes of fastballs changed drastically as

197
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 3: you get up by level by level because they do

198
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: use different baseballs and different seams basing stuff like that,

199
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: which is nuts. Why are we not using the same

200
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: baseball everywhere? It doesn't make any sense. But usually there

201
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: is a huge drop off from guys going from double

202
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: A to triple A. So for Blade to have these

203
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: good numbers now at triple A very encouraging.

204
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: I think that's crazy with Blade too, is that he

205
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: is such a big guy, and we've talked about the

206
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: past that he releases the ball very high. He's releasing

207
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: the ball about six and a half feet above the

208
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: ground and he's a huge guy too. The fact that

209
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: he's getting those IVB numbers from that high of a

210
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: release point and he's missing bats. Now focusing on that

211
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: fastball more than he ever had in the past at

212
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: the top of the zone. It could become one of

213
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: these really unique power fastballs in the league. Also, his

214
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: sweeper is amazing. It's mid eighties, got fifteen inches of

215
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: horizontal break across his own with some lift, which is

216
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: kind of in the same mold as the Max Chranic

217
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: sweeper that's kind of swept through the mess this year,

218
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: and we're seeing like people be like, oh my god,

219
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: that sweeper looks like a disgusting pitch. So it's it's crazy.

220
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: And he has a tight slider that has way more

221
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: drop or depth than that sweeper that's also sitting in

222
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: the mid eighties eighty for eighty six up to eighty eight.

223
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: At times he still has the sinker, he still has

224
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: a change up. He's working on less consistent with a

225
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: good pitch, like he just needs to really wrangle this

226
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: stuff in. Like I'm thinking about Blade Tidwell right now

227
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: is like an old Western like rodeo guy, where like

228
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: he has a bucking bronco like he's got a crazy horse.

229
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: But I know if he can ever get that thing together,

230
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: he's going to be the fastest cowboy in all the land.

231
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: Where he kind of has the ceilings for blay Tidwell,

232
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: I've really oscillated over the years and where I think

233
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: that ceiling is like right now, seeing the movement profile

234
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: on these pitches at the Triple A level, like I

235
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: bet especially also seeing the immaculinning in spring training against

236
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: Major leaue headers, like seeing him being able to put

237
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: major league headers down in that way. Like I'm incredibly

238
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: encouraged by what his major league ceiling looks like now

239
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: compared to a year or to even two years ago. Yeah.

240
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: No, I again, like his stuff and college are so electric,

241
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: and we saw him loser at times, but it's nice

242
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: to see that stuff is jumping back up again at.

243
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: The Triple A level. Again.

244
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: I just I had a good feeling about Blade when

245
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 3: he gets to the major leagues at some point. And

246
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 3: I do think out of all the pictures of the miners,

247
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 3: I think he gets the first shot still.

248
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: I think so, I mean, well, it really depends like

249
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: next five stars who's.

250
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah between Yeah, that's just my take.

251
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we could see that because I mean they

252
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: neither of them have really gotten great results. But it

253
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: looks like he's more he's closer to getting the consistency

254
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: that you can actually get like through three four innings

255
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: of the major league level, I think more so than Blade,

256
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: but I mean it really could be anybody at this point.

257
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: It really just depends, might depend like who's who's fifth

258
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: day is the one that lines up with whoever next

259
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: met picture, let's get injured. Last guy I want to

260
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: talk about from Syracuse, like in a deep ways, Dom Hamill.

261
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: He's been in the system forever. He's six months older

262
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: than one so though, which is crazy I think about.

263
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: But he's old, yeah, six months older, twenty six years old.

264
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: But they had a nice little start is first starting

265
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: Triple A and April second. Then he got put on

266
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: the minor league l which is frustrating, but five innings,

267
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: two hits, no walks, which is big for Haimel works

268
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: really hard the last few years to improve that command,

269
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: and he is like a true sex pitch mix now

270
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: with even possibly a seven pitch mix. I think he

271
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: might have thrown a sinker or two that were mismarked

272
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: on Savat, but the fastball still has a nasty slide there.

273
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: He has also a nasty sweeper that's a different shap

274
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: than that slide there. Curveball color changeup. He's got some

275
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: stuff like he can probably junk his way through like

276
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: a couple of Major league innings here and there when

277
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: he needs to ft FAM.

278
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 4: You gotta check out what Harry's brings to the table.

279
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 4: And I hope that if you're listening to this, you

280
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 4: check out the video version of this conversation at some point,

281
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: because that razor aer Kratz looks like it stands out

282
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 4: for multiple reasons.

283
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 5: I mean, I'll take the cover off all these blades,

284
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 5: each one of them ridiculously sharp for a nice smoothness here.

285
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 4: End up there, German engineered blades made in their own factory.

286
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 4: They sharp longer. Okay, you've got customizable delivery options. Harry

287
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 4: stands out for the sharpness, for the pricing, for the variety,

288
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 4: and you can get a five blade razor, a weighted handle,

289
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 4: foaming shave gel, and a travel cover for just three

290
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 4: bucks at Harry's dot com slash vall get the edge

291
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 4: on your shave with Harry's. Normally their trial sets thirteen dollars.

292
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 4: Right now, you can get it for just three dollars

293
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 4: at Harry's dot com slash foul. That's our exclusive ft

294
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,359
Speaker 4: link Harry's dot com slash foul for a three dollars trial.

295
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: Set other guys who want to shout out because I

296
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: think they will be in the major legue bullpen sooner

297
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: rather than later. Rio Garcia something I talked about in

298
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: spring training from the glob of chaos, twenty two inches

299
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: induced radical break on his fastball, which is kind of

300
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: nutty Even's only ninety four miles an hour with that shape.

301
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: It plays really well top of the zone. And Tyler

302
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: Zuber he's awesome. He's funny on Twitter. If Mets fans

303
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: have noticed him so farw er Yeah, he'll respond to you.

304
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: He'll jill jump in the mentions. He's got eighteen inches

305
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: of horizontal move a his sweeper, which is disgusting. So

306
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: those are two guys who probably mix in this bullpen

307
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: some point this year that we should be keeping an

308
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: eye on. Yep, triple a. That covers it.

309
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 2: Let's move on over to Binghamton.

310
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: Now, the biggest things to talk about again are going

311
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: to be on the pitching side. We just have more data,

312
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: more sample size. I think here might be the hitting side.

313
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 3: Binghamton's got more exciting hitters than pitchers. Probably, I don't.

314
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: Know about that.

315
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: Here's what I'll say.

316
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: Here's what I'll say, at least for the purpose of

317
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: this episode. They're more exciting to talk about right now.

318
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: The hitters jet today. We're recording this on Friday, April eleven,

319
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: so he actually had like the best game of the

320
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 3: season so far, a couple hits, a home run.

321
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 2: He's been playing really well.

322
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: But up until then, up until Friday, he had I

323
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: think like fourteen fifteen played appearances, close to twenty striking around,

324
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: striking out around fifty percent of the time. Again, it's early.

325
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: These things stabilize a lot further on in the season.

326
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: Twenty play appearance is not good enough, but yeah, his

327
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: first one run today had a good time.

328
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 2: Ryan Clifford, same thing.

329
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: At the time of recording this, he had fourteen played appearances,

330
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: not any for any power, but you're seeing the three

331
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: walks three ks. He's a three true outcome guy. And

332
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 3: the last quick hitter I'll mention before we get going

333
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: deeper into the pitching stuff, Nick Morribido. Again, he had

334
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 3: another great game today on April eleventh, which just is

335
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: so funny for the purpose of this episode. But up

336
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 3: before them, fourteen plate appearances, ten strikeouts, so that's a

337
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 3: little concerning.

338
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: Is rhyme around this team too? Jacob Brimer is he

339
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: Brooklyn guy?

340
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 3: I think he's in Brooklyn, but he hasn't done anything

341
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: notable yet that's been worthy of, like talking about outside,

342
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: which is I think he's like got a few hits

343
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: here and there. So hitting stuff is really weird as

344
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 3: we get lower in the miners because these guys just

345
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of played appearances, don't have a

346
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 3: lot of numbers to go off of. Brooklyn has more

347
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 3: of the exciting hitting things to talk about.

348
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: And same thing with Port Saint Lucy.

349
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got one here from he He's in Single Lie,

350
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: so I guess'll talk about rhyme are also. But the

351
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: couple probably the two most exciting pitchers in the MESS

352
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: system in terms of long term ceiling are on this

353
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: Benghamton team, and that's Nolan McLean and Jonah Tongue. They've

354
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: had very different starts to their seasons. McLean has been incredible.

355
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: If you guys saw the videos of McLean's first start

356
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: on Twitter, that's sweep. I've said before, I'll say it again,

357
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: Like we talk about Planet Earth right now, every single

358
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,599
Speaker 1: pitture that throws a sweeper, top ten, top fifteen. He

359
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: could go in the major leagues right now as a

360
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: relief pitcher, just on the heels of that sweeper in

361
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: amid to high nineties fastball. I don't think he should,

362
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: or I don't think he will. Let's not be saying that.

363
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: I think the Mets should do that because he sells

364
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: a lot of development to do as a starter. Figure

365
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: out some more pitches, colored Slyther, all that stuff. But

366
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: Tyler sider than the sweeper. But eight strikeouts and four

367
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: innings with no walks and at first eleven fifteen whifts.

368
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: I've seen the number going around Twitter. But double A

369
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: we don't have any hard data, so it's much harder

370
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: to evaluate these guys compared to what we can see

371
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: for the Triple A guys. In the low A Saint

372
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: Lucy guys. Tong struggled with command in his first start.

373
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: He walks five and struck out five and four innings,

374
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: but still he's He's twenty one years old and pitching

375
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: at double A, which is completely outrageous, and still got feeling.

376
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: It feels like he is the trade guy. I feel

377
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: like if the Mets want to make a big move

378
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: this year and acquire an ace. The deadline, Tong is

379
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: the one because the helium is crazy. He's weirdly close

380
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: to the majors at twenty one years old because he's

381
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: in Double A, but here's still like a long pathroom

382
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: developmentally figure out some other pitches besides that fastball, curveball.

383
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: It's just he's so interesting. He's such a fascinating pitcher,

384
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: and it's fun that it's been fun watch tracking his

385
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: growth these last few years.

386
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: Tonsley, Yeah, I think a lot of these prospects that

387
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: we're going to be mentioning these there's trade candidates everywhere.

388
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily think, yeah, I don't think there's necessarily

389
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: a prospect right now in the Mets system where you're like,

390
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: you can't trade this guy. That have built a much

391
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: better farm system than they had just even a few

392
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: years ago. So they're headed in the right direction. But

393
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: we still don't have like that generational prospect yet. So

394
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 3: all these guys are also I think, very open to

395
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: being trade pieces for the right guys back.

396
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's fun that we're also getting to a

397
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: point a few years into the David Stearns regime and

398
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: Eric Gaekers running pitching development for the organization that we

399
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: are seeing these pitchers get know this by these national

400
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: publications like we've seen guys like McLean, sprote of course

401
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: Jonah Toongue sneak into these top hundred lists. Not even

402
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: sneaks im going to being high up in these top

403
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: hundred list. We've seen sprod in the top thirty and

404
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: a lot of less fangrass baseball perspectives Baseball America. Very

405
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: cool to see the respect they're getting. But one guy

406
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: who I think is a big sleeper in the system,

407
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: who I've heard some rumblings is someone the Mets are

408
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: much higher on internally. Also on is being into the

409
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: staff is Jack Wendinger. We mentioned how talented McLean and

410
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: Jonahtanu are, Jack Wendinger actually got opening they starts for

411
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: this bing Eton team. Binghamton team a little bit older.

412
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: Came as a college pitcher at University of Illinois, so

413
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: older than Tongue, more starting experience than McLean, who just

414
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: stopped being a two way player last year, but through

415
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: two starts his ten in sixteen strikeouts, three walks, one run,

416
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: four hits, like, that's something that's really really good so

417
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: far results wise, and the Binghamton level double A the

418
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: Eastern Link that has some pretty good hitter scattered across

419
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: that league, some that are also college hitters with experience,

420
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: we're on the path to being very good major league players.

421
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: And we've highlighted Wenger in the past as being a

422
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: bit more of a wilde arsenal guy. He's a change

423
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: up primary guy, not change a primary guy, but that's

424
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: his best off speed secondary pitch. As a righty, if

425
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: your change ups your best secondary pitch is not usually

426
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: the best thing. But he has done some work with

427
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: a Slyther and he's someone who's really flattened his approach

428
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: angle with that fastball and got more life on that

429
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: pitch shitting at the top of the zone. He's definitely

430
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: got to watch this year, someone who probably also gets

431
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: a major League shop for tongue or McLean because he

432
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: has a little bit more developed secondary off speed stuff,

433
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: more and more weapons, gets guys from both sides of play.

434
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: So he's definitely the one that stuck out to me

435
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: when going through the research of this episode.

436
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 3: I will say it's fun when like these guys like

437
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: Jack Wenninger or even some dudes are gonna be mentioned

438
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: in Brooklyn and Port Saint Lucy, guys that we've highlighted

439
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 3: just like hey, when we do our draft episode, like

440
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: kind of cool things to watch and be like, oh

441
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 3: my goodness, like did these guys go?

442
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: Like all right?

443
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: That's like especially because you mentioned it. The David Sterens,

444
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: Eric Gagers like the whole development, even Steve Cohen pouring it.

445
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: He pours a lot of money into this pharm system.

446
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: He's talked about it before. These are the best investments

447
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 3: he makes every single year as an owner of a

448
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 3: major league baseball team. The return on investment is crazy

449
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 3: with these guys, and you're starting to see a payoff.

450
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: Like Jack Weninger was drafted in what round? Do you

451
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 3: remember what round went injure was but he was a

452
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 3: later pick, wasn't he?

453
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: I think he was like eighth or ninth. But again now

454
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: at University of Illinois, the big ten's not exactly a

455
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: baseball hockey.

456
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: He was a sixth round pick.

457
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: Yes, so like being able to get value out of

458
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 3: like sixth round picks, fifth round picks, like anything passed,

459
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: like those top two hundred picks in a draft like,

460
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 3: oh my goodness, Okay, you're starting to really have some

461
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 3: serious development.

462
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: Go on and think about what was the sinker ball

463
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: er Tyler Stewart we traded last year at the Devil,

464
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: Yeah for Jess Sweeker, Like that's a possible major league

465
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: back in starter, but Jesse Winker was incredible for us

466
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: in a playoff. Rount Like, we don't go as far

467
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: as we do if we're not able to get Jesse Winker.

468
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: So it's amazing seeing these guys get developed, Amazing seeing

469
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: that they actually have put themselves in position to be

470
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: major league pitchers at some point, but also coolers knowing

471
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: that having its organizational depth, we're going to see this

472
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: Mets farm system now with the amazing depth, and we're

473
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: going to show you guys about depth because we have

474
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: a lot of notes on Brooklyn Saint Lucy's specifically probably

475
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: the BFST sections we have in this episode. I'm excited

476
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: to share them. But knowing that we have these guys

477
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: coming through the lower miners, like you can make those

478
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: depth trays like that to plug a hole to major

479
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: league level and not really feel bad about losing a

480
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: guy that you're going to be missing because there's four

481
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: of them to replace the next level level below them

482
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: that will be up there, up a level above by

483
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: the next year, even if not lay there in the

484
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: season we're playing.

485
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think the Mets are doing a lot

486
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 3: of really good things at the minor league level.

487
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about Brooklyn.

488
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: Because this is where bats down there.

489
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 3: This is where we got some bats down here, and

490
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 3: we've got some stuff on them. So we've talked about

491
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: this guy before on the podcast. Chris Swerro mentioned him,

492
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 3: I think last year during one of the prospect reports

493
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: in a very small stample. Yet like a crazy hot week,

494
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: he's off to a great start again. He's out in Brooklyn.

495
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 3: He's twenty one years old. He's a catcher, infield or outfielder.

496
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: They're trying to find a place because the bat seems

497
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 3: to be pretty legit for a guy like Chris Suero.

498
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 3: So far'm twenty two played appearances, hitting three eighty one,

499
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: two homers, four doubles, eight RBIs, striking out a ton

500
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: nine strikeouts in only one walk. He's a guy that

501
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: definitely goes up there and takes warhacks. He's from New York.

502
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: He's a kid from the Bronx, which is also really cool.

503
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 3: I think one thing that stuck out to me just

504
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 3: as like a random fact and something that like to

505
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 3: see from the outside perspective too. Sometimes he played in

506
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 3: the Lee Dom this past winner. He was the fifth

507
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 3: pick by the Aguilas de Sens in the Lee Dom

508
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 3: in the rookie draft. That feels like a pretty big

509
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: deal for a guy who's not really a highly touted prospect.

510
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 3: In like the National Circle is like a team, and

511
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: the Dominicans like this Chris Suero kid, We're gonna have him.

512
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 3: He was by far the youngest player on his team,

513
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 3: the youngest hitter. He was the youngest hitter on that

514
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: roster by about two years. And he also just funny fact,

515
00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 3: played with Juan Lagaris, Jonathan VR and Alex Canario this season. Gias,

516
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 3: I think when you see these guys getting picked in

517
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: the lead on, when you see these guys hitting as

518
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 3: well as there is, there's just there's something there that

519
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 3: at least makes me think this.

520
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 2: Guy's a baseball player and someone you want to keep

521
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: an eye out.

522
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: For, especially when someone again is getting that kind of

523
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: appeal that you're talking about in those winter leagues and

524
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: it's just also nice that it's just more baseball to

525
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: be played, like the fact that these guys are getting

526
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: more reps, more and more at bats against because there

527
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: are some professional pitchers I'll make it to that league

528
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: if not guys that have been retired for only.

529
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 2: A year or too.

530
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: So it's cool to see people contributing at that level.

531
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: That's fun on us. Swear at will, they will. Their

532
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: head's been die down. There should be excited about.

533
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 4: Ft fam Arena Club is the modern way to collect

534
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,600

Speaker 3: We got Eli Serrano the third which that's the lot.

560
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 2: He's the guy.

561
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 3: He's twenty two years old, came out of NC State

562
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 3: two years ago. I believe the Mets drafted him out

563
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: of the draft or.

564
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: Was it last year? Two years ago? He also played

565
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: high school balls Ryan Clifford right, Yes.

566
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: Yes, so, I mean he's he's a good ballplayer out

567
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 3: of NC say it's a powerhouse for baseball. He sitting three,

568
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 3: eighty one and twenty eight played appearances this year and

569
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 3: my notes, but this dude might actually have some sauce.

570
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: I mean, like he was a guy who in the

571
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 2: a lot of.

572
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: People were like that was a really good pick where

573
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: the Mets got a guy like Eli Serano. He's a

574
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 3: great athlete, has a really nice left handed swing. He's

575
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: already hit yeah, big, big, strong dude. He plays the outfield.

576
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 3: He's athletic, he's already hit two home runs in a double,

577
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 3: three stolen bases. Has walked to strikeout ratio is about

578
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: one to one, and it's not a small amount. It's

579
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 3: seven walks to eight strikeouts. He seems like a player

580
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 3: that's just like someone where it's like this could be

581
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 3: a very capable major leaguer if the development continues moving forward.

582
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 3: Someone who played big time college baseball, someone who played

583
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 3: big time high school baseball, like you said with Ryan

584
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 3: Clifford at a powerhouse at down South, playing baseball, Like

585
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: these are things that I liked that the Mets were targeting,

586
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: because again, the athleticism, the swing, everything you see from

587
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 3: a guy like Eli Serano, who we also saw a

588
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: little bit of in spring training.

589
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: He's he's got some sauce. I think for sure he's.

590
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: Someone that I know the Mets were kind of in

591
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: on the tools they saw in the draft. It was

592
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,479
Speaker 1: kind of a situation where I think it was get

593
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: some lyft and get some pull out of him. I've

594
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: lost on that swing. And we've also we've talked about

595
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: a lot in the past, especially with Ryan Clifford, about

596
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: how different cult of this for left handed hitters to

597
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: play in Brooklyn because that stadium is on the beach.

598
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: Right field, you can see the sand and the wind

599
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: is whipping in from there all the time. We saw

600
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: Joe Domeo talk about that too. During the Prospect breakout

601
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: game this past spring. You guys Toronto Atliast already hit

602
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: two home runs pull home runs out of out put

603
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: two right field in Brooklyn, which is a and one

604
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: of them things one of.

605
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: Them was technically pulled because it was on the right

606
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: half of the field. But he hits like right center

607
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 3: field where you're like, WHOA, Like that's that's legit pop

608
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 3: out there.

609
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: So I mean, again we know that how difficult it is.

610
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: The one guy who was really able to cut through,

611
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: who's able to cut through the like the right field

612
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn was Michael Knford though, and then he kind

613
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: of went nuclear as a prospect after that and was

614
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: fantastic when he got to the majors. Of course, Michael

615
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 1: Ford had a very nice run with the Mets, having

616
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: a nest run with the Dodgers right now, so being

617
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: able to see the left handed power hitters still show

618
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: the power down there, because even his high school teamate

619
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: Ryan Clifford had trouble showing the power down there. And

620
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: this power is nutty, Like we've seen his power for

621
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: the last couple of years developing. It's very very cool

622
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: to see him be able to do that early. And

623
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: that's someone that I said, I'd almost say if you

624
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: pull anything out of this episode for a Hayter speaks

625
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: side about to change your mind on not even change

626
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: your mind, just be aware of know this. It's Eli Sorono.

627
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: I picked him up in my first Nasty League at

628
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: this past week. I saw that home run nice.

629
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 2: I like that. Yes, I mean outfield depths is definitely weak.

630
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: So he's a guy who could also move up to

631
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 3: Double A I think quickly if he plays well at

632
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 3: High A Brooklyn this year. Other two guys have mentioned quickly.

633
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: Boston Barrow got his first summer on the season. The

634
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 3: other day, and I'm not gonna really focus on his

635
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 3: power numbers too much out in Brooklyn because he has

636
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 3: another left handed hitter. The thing that's hit home rising

637
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 3: to me though, yes, I said that, you hurt me.

638
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: Ten strikeouts twenty nine played appearances, so that's kind of

639
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 3: crazy because he's not a guy who I see as

640
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 3: a strikeout type hitter. But something's going on where he's

641
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 3: striking out a lot. And then Carson Bench is well

642
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 3: five walks, four k's the seventeen played appearances. Found it

643
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 3: interesting He's got way less played appearances than some of

644
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 3: the other outfielders, so that was confusing to me.

645
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: He maybe he missed a day with an injury too,

646
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: something that Because the min league injury report thing is scarce,

647
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: you really will never know anything that's actually going on

648
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: down there with those guys' health. But it's cool to

649
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: see that they have benj Borrow and Sorono because I

650
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: think they probably are the three most exciting hitting prospects

651
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: along on hayesus Bias when he actually gets back to

652
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: health and gets back up with them or Binghamton very soon.

653
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: So it's cool to see them all together. We talk

654
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: about a lot the idea of like these minor leaguers

655
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: growing up together, spending a lot of time together, like

656
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: we even see it to the major G level right now,

657
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: Like how close. I know it hasn't been great at times,

658
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: but like how close guys like Fianto's baby and Franciscualvaz

659
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: are because how long they've been playing together and how

660
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: well they know each other. Like going through those trials

661
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: and tribulations together as young men in these systems is

662
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: cool for the camaraderie at the major league level. Two

663
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: pitchers I really want to highlight at Brooklyn too. One

664
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: is very notable. One one is someone that paying attention

665
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: to know Thising First, Jonathan Santucci, second round pick last

666
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: year in the draft, someone that the day that loved

667
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: out of Duke or guy Lance Bristowski liked him. Saw

668
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: a lot of very sharp people being fans of this

669
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: pick by the Mets. Brooklyn debut went really well, four innings,

670
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: five strikeouts, no walks, no walks. Really really cool for

671
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: Santucci because he really struggled with walks and command in

672
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: his career at Duke. Over fourteen percent walk garry last

673
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: season as junior, which is very high for any pitcher

674
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: that came with almost a forty percent strikeout rate. Also

675
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: really cool with Santucci the Mets seeing how advanced he

676
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: is as a pitcher. Just totally skipping Saint Lucy straight

677
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: to Brooklyn out of the draft. That's a very good sign.

678
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: I think it's developed mentally for the Mets to kind

679
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: of throw him into that fire. Some really nasty slider

680
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: videos made it to Twitter, a lot of depth on those.

681
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: He was throwing this right as n lefties. He's another

682
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: guy as a lefty needs to find that change up.

683
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: He had it. It's flashed in the past, but to

684
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: get right handed about his out. And someone that was

685
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: put on my radar by Pitching Savant. We talked about

686
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: on this podcast a lot. Isaac Groffman. You guys might

687
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: see him on Worthys YouTube channel. He's just a freak

688
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Incredible pitching knowledge. He's going to work for

689
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: a team someday. Noah Hall, he struck out eight batthers

690
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: in four and two thirds innings and to start last Thursday,

691
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: and he struck out the last five batters he faced,

692
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: And Isaac was telling me that Hall is a pronator,

693
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: which means that we talk about supernators and pronator. Sometimes

694
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: Pronator's release on the inside of the ball, which means

695
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: they get a lot of armside movement. I think the

696
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: most notable pronator who's been really really successful to major

697
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: league levels of uist Castillo, just with crazy two seamer

698
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: changeup movement getting the side run there. So he's gonna

699
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: need to figure out some more offspeed pitches, but already

700
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: having a two seamer end of change up that are

701
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: nasty down there, so gonna need develop more to really

702
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: get on the radar. Also doesn't throw especially hard as

703
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: the low nineties guy, but again someone's to pay attention

704
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: to it. The Mets are definitely working with and helping

705
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 1: develop quickly, which is nice.

706
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also shout out our goat, Ryan Lambert, our

707
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: boy friend of the podcast. Sitting ninety eight for strikeouts,

708
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 3: two hitnings, no walks, no hits so far love Ryan Lambert.

709
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: How many eggs? How many eggs? That's all I want

710
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 2: to know.

711
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: Thirty and we're gonna he's another guy that might move

712
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: quickly because he's just gassing up ninety eight as a

713
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: reliever in the Myers. Like if we see Ryan Lambert

714
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: the Majors, we made that deal six ry eggs apiece.

715
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna somehow get those eggs into city field.

716
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how that's gonna happen. Maybe I get

717
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: my media credential by them, but we're gonna try to

718
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: figure out how to get eighteen eggs into the city field.

719
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: What his debut?

720
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about the last level here. Port

721
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: Saint Lucy a ball demons, A lot of hitters, a

722
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 3: lot of hitters on this a ball squad. So I'm

723
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 3: gonna just start it off with the hitting here. Aj

724
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 3: Ewing is the one that I feel like a lot

725
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 3: of people are talking about on Twitter right now. He's

726
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 3: been all to a scalding hot start. He had a

727
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 3: four hit game the other day. He's hitting four to

728
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 3: twenty nine in about thirty plate appearances this year, two doubles,

729
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 3: a triple, seven RBIs, He's walked walking a bunch of

730
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 3: five walks, stealing bases as well. Seems like just a

731
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 3: very pesky utility ish player. He plays a bunch of

732
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 3: different positions. The eggs a vils we have there. I

733
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: think he got up to one oh six. You were

734
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 3: telling me before, so you want to see a little

735
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,719
Speaker 3: bit hard, but again he's a twenty year old in PSL,

736
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: like they're still a room for growth for high eggs

737
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 3: of eels. But the fact that he's hitting the ball hard,

738
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 3: hitting it consistently, getting on base, doing all these things

739
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 3: a great sign moving forward for a guy like aj Ewing, who.

740
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: I believe was a draft pick that the Mets kind of.

741
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 3: Gave overslot value because he was a high schooler and

742
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 3: they took him away from a major I believe SEC school.

743
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 3: So that's cool to see from aj Ewing. Another one,

744
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: this is a really exciting one too. Davidson Gutierrez, nineteen

745
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 3: year old former international prospect send three seventy five and

746
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 3: seventeen plate appearances. They're all singles, but he's starting to

747
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 3: get on catching people's radar in the baseball prospect world.

748
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 3: He's nineteen years old, showing a lot of really good

749
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 3: back to ball skills, stuff that you like to see

750
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 3: from a young player like that.

751
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, very nice from young player like that. And get

752
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: this Saint Lucie team. This is where you guys really

753
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: will start to see the amazing depth that this Mets

754
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: organization is forming, especially because we have data on these guys,

755
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to talk about pitch moving where

756
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: you're talking about the XS Ofvloscity. It's very cool to

757
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: see a lot of the development happening down there. I

758
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: also think before we go back some hitters, I think

759
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: the biggest stories come out of Port Saint Lucy so

760
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: far this season is Matt Allen making his triumphant return

761
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: after years three or four arm surgeries to actually get

762
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: back on the mound at Saint Lucy and look legitimately

763
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: good in his debut where he only went two and

764
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: two thirsdy innings but he struck out five. He only

765
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: walked one, two hits, no arned runs. God up to

766
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: ninety seven miles now in his fastball, which after all

767
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: of the trials and tribulations that Matthew Allen has gone through,

768
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: after all of the arm surgeries, all the time off

769
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: for him to come back in his first professional appearance

770
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: in season and get to ninety seven over ninety miles

771
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: an hour in his color mix in mixing some sol

772
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: curves like it's one remarkable that he's come back and

773
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: be able to do this too, remarkable that this stuff

774
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: is actually still good and he could be someone that

775
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: mixes in possibly to get a shot to make level

776
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: at some point in his life. You ever did, that

777
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: would be a tremendous story. Long way to go, but

778
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: the fact that the stuff is trending already in the

779
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: right direction is just sensation. I'm literally just so happy

780
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: for him because they know how hard these works to

781
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: get back and rehabit all this stuff.

782
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 3: It has been over two thousand days since he made

783
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 3: his last start up for the one comprehension. The last

784
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 3: time he made a start was in twenty nineteen, which

785
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: is insane to say out loud. He had not pitched

786
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 3: in this decade, and the Mets drafted him all the

787
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 3: way back in twenty nineteen in the third round out

788
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: of high school. So yeah, a great story. Hope to

789
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 3: see a lot of good things from Matt Allen. Just

790
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: honestly incredible that one he's still stuck around that long

791
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 3: to not pitch and still wanting to.

792
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: Have it dog, absolute dog.

793
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 3: Two, the Mets clearly see there is some sort of

794
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,959
Speaker 3: value here in a guy like Matt Allen that they

795
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 3: kept him along this ride, like for this insane ride

796
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: of battling injuries because they're, like, we believe in you.

797
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 3: That's gotta feel kind of sick as a player as well,

798
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 3: being like, holy shit, I haven't thrown a pitch in

799
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 3: a game in two thousand days, and this organization is like, yeah,

800
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 3: you're not going anywhere.

801
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: We're keeping you around.

802
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm to think about this guy. He hasn't pitched in

803
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: a professional game for the Mets organization since Brodie Van

804
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: Wagnen was a general manager of this team. Like, that's

805
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: how long it's been. It was years before Steve Cohen

806
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: bought the Mets. That's how long it's been since Matt

807
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: Allen did the fact that he's stuck around through all

808
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: living college. Yeah right, Collie, had you were in college,

809
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: it was before the pandemic. We didn't even lived together yet.

810
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: This podcast didn't even exist yet before last time Matt

811
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: Alan threw a pitch at the professional level. Just to

812
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: get a sense, there's two other pitchers I definitely want

813
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: to highlight before I start to get to the Demons

814
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: the day the Demons on here. Will Watson and Nate Dome,

815
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: two of last year's draftees. This is another word from

816
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: Isaac that he says that this year Will Watson will

817
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: be the Jonah thong of the system. He'll be the riser.

818
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: He'll be the guy that kind of explodes, pops up

819
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: and gets onto the prospect list. Draft them out of

820
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: a USC Southern California and not your USC mark last year.

821
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: Really seven strikeouts, no hits, and no walks in four

822
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: innings in the season debut, which is ridiculous. Another one

823
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: of these guys with this low release point, flat the

824
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: pro changle fastball is going to live in the top

825
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: of his own even got over twenty IVB with those

826
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: fastballs in his first start. Has a two seamer with

827
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: also some lift that shuts the other way that plays off,

828
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: which is really cool. He's got a hard color with

829
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: tons of hop, again similar to the one we're seeing

830
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: from Cranic, but like Cranic's more tight Slythery, where I

831
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: think Watson is more of a true color. Also has

832
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: a hard slider that goes off that the color is

833
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: a good bridge between that slider and that fastball. He

834
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: had a sweeper out of the draft. I think the

835
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: Mets may have tightened that up, or maybe that slider

836
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: will get more sweepersh just as it goes on change

837
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: up to it to work in progress. He's someone that

838
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: has a lot of good things going for him. Just

839
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: crazy I'm not going to say his physical tools because

840
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: he's not a really big imposing guy, but just incredible

841
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: pitch specs from someone that Mess seemingly kind of stole

842
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: in the draft in the mid rounds that they really

843
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: just like the data and they're really coaxing a lot

844
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: of good stuff out of him.

845
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and watching his mechanics.

846
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 3: Two on the videos from Twitter, I like that the

847
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 3: metster he has very simple wind up delivery, Like he

848
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 3: doesn't even do the wind up. He kind of does

849
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 3: like what you see now, which is the abbreviated wind

850
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 3: up out of the stretch. He just kind of grabs

851
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 3: the ball and his arm flies flies. It's a whip

852
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,239
Speaker 3: with everyone, which is something that we know is like

853
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 3: super You can get some crazy shit when your arm

854
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 3: star twipping like that through the zone. So I'd love

855
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: to see that from Reial Watson. Again, the Mets have

856
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 3: some demons down here, and I know that Nathan Domes

857
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 3: a guy that you've had circled for a while, So

858
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 3: tell the people a little bit about him too.

859
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: Super excited for him at the draft last year. Also,

860
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: he filled the Mets Mississippi State Bulldogs coiler because Mets

861
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: have to draft a player fro Missippi State every year.

862
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: Shot at Chank Mangum finally get a shop playing well

863
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: in the Rays, but not the best couple of starts

864
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: results wise for Dome. But this is also the first

865
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: time he's going back to the rotation full time because

866
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: he was a reliever for most of college. A lot

867
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: of times he's got with some injuries, and he was

868
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: able to get near one hundred miles an hour pitching

869
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: out of the bullpen. So again, I think for him

870
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: right now, it's about finding the consistency with his delivery,

871
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: with his velocity, his arm strength, where everything's going to be.

872
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: Because also he was hurt the end last year, went

873
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: to twenty nine innings for Missipi State before the Mets

874
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: drafted him, and the command is still iffy, another reason

875
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: he was pitching out of relief in college. But I

876
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: think this is something that Mets really just see a

877
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: white arsenal guy with big stuff and they want to

878
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: make him a starther It might take a little while,

879
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: might take a little longer than a guy like Santucci again,

880
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: who was a little bit closer not to a finished product,

881
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: but to a major league pitcher, which is why Dome

882
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: is down here in Saint Lucie and Santoogi's up there

883
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. The advancement of his stuff, but crazy solid

884
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: fastball shape with IV eighteen nineteen inches, getting the over

885
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: twenty inches with almost seven feet of extension. Kind of

886
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: been getting hip to how important extension is, talking to

887
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: Nick Pollock a lot recently where six and a half

888
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: feet is averaged. So Nate Dome being someone that has

889
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: touched ninety nine miles an hour again as reliever, so

890
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: it's going to be back down the mid nineties, but

891
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: getting with that with seven feet of extensions crazy. I

892
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: think he doesn't really understand though, where his physical limitations are,

893
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: because he's had some crazy velocity oscillations again third time

894
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: going from relief to start their full time this year.

895
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: Like he's had some ninety one s, he's had some

896
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: ninety fives and everything in between. So I think it's

897
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: just about learning about where his body can be pushed

898
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: to as a starting pitcher. That's going to come with time.

899
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: It's also getting kind of a blend of his color

900
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: and his slyther. He had a really nasty slider in college.

901
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: I think is being referred to as a curve ball

902
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: right now by Baseball savon with some just freaky two

903
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: plane movement where it's like a lot of side to

904
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: side and a lot of drop on it. But again,

905
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: it's like kind of a situation right now where it

906
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: seems like he's just not getting very good consistency of

907
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: movement in these pitches, because I think this is the

908
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: hardest he's pushed himself in years, as he's been a

909
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: reliever for most of his college time. So I'm really

910
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: looking for consistency. I'm really looking to see where those

911
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: pitch shapes wind up. But even though the results are poor,

912
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: definitely encouraged by Nate Dome as he started his precional

913
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: career at the Mets.

914
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 2: Now's the time to talk about one of the demons here.

915
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he goes to the rest of the hitter

916
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: is then we'll do some demons, Okay, okay, okay, I'll.

917
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 3: Go through the rest of the hitters here, Jeremy Rodriguez

918
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 3: and Marko Vargas playing really well. Rodriguez is still eighteen

919
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 3: years old at the time of that. Tommy fam shout

920
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 3: out Tommy fam. Shout out Billyeppler. Great trade for Billy Eppler.

921
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 3: I know a guy gets a lot of crap and

922
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 3: it's fair, I understand it. But shout out Billyuppler for

923
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 3: this one. Because Jeremy Rodriguez hitting three hundred at Port

924
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 3: Saint Lucy, he's walking a ton like, he's looking really good.

925
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 3: I think he had a one o eight he hit

926
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: a ball the other day, which is really awesome for

927
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 3: a guy who's a little bit smaller as well, like

928
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 3: Jeremy Rodriguez and Marco Varguson in four seventeen. Shout out

929
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 3: Billy Uppler for that one too. Was that David Robertson?

930
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: That was David Roberson. Yeah, so Tomy fan and David Roberson, guys,

931
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: these two little demons. I still down there Port Saint

932
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: Lucy young tons of potential.

933
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, Drew Gilbert soon is rehab nicely down there. He's

934
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 3: playing pretty good. I think he's a guy you're gonna

935
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 3: se a triple a very soon once he's done with

936
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 3: his rehab assignments. And Colin Hawk, we haven't talked about

937
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 3: him a lot. He'd been a first round pick that

938
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 3: had been very disappointing. For this team. He still is

939
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 3: striking out a ton, but he is making better contact

940
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: with the ball right now in the small sample size

941
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 3: that we've seen this far, a few doubles early on

942
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 3: the season. It's a big, strong dude, but the swinging

943
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 3: miss stuff is scary. So it's something to keep an

944
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 3: eye out for as we move forward on in the season.

945
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, that's also fair, like these are kids, so

946
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: they're going to struggle. These are literally children. Half them

947
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: that we're talking about, and not all of them, but

948
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: good a few of them. But so it's important to

949
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: take to go with the bat also because I know

950
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: we might get yelled at for this if anyone out

951
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: there is friendly with Nick Roselli. He is playing with Brooklyn.

952
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: Hasn't been a hot week, but I still like Nick

953
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: Rosselli las a player. I know he's a local kid,

954
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: went to Binghamton, so I'm sure Nicks. Yeah, possibly some

955
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: family listens to this podcast, So we're not gonna not

956
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: mentioned Nick Roselli. Shout Nick Roselli. Now we hasn't pitching

957
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: team is down Sangley, who I definitely want to shout out.

958
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: A couple of these got put on my railre by

959
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: Isaac again shout him out. I saw him on Twitter,

960
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: Isaac Grofman. He's a pitching savant. First one I got

961
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: talk about is someone I texted you about the other

962
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: day because I saw this stuff and I was like,

963
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk about this guy and look

964
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: more deeply into him. Raymond Gomes a twenty three year old,

965
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: which is a bit old down in Saint Lucy, but

966
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: he was reliever, became a star other. We signed him

967
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one with basically no bonus out of Venezuela.

968
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: He was in the DSL for a while, was coming

969
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: to start full time at twenty twenty three. Got Tommy

970
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: John surgery. Almost missed two entire seasons because I was

971
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: the beginning of twenty twenty three season, didn't pitch it

972
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: all on twenty four. He's back right now and he's

973
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: throwing one hundred miles an hour. He touched one hundred two.

974
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: He's sitting ninety eight. That's what's almost seven feet of extension.

975
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: So the one hundred feels probably like one hundred and

976
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: four hundred five to these hitters. In terms of arm

977
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 1: talent in the Mets system, he might have the most.

978
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 1: He's got a nasty eighty eight mile an hour slider

979
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: that works off that fastball, which is just crazy velocity

980
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: for a pitch that moves that much. Definitely doesn't know

981
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: where that slide is going half the time. But again,

982
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: he's kind of seemly kind of learning how it all works. Again,

983
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: if you're not pitching for two years and getting Tommy

984
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 1: John surgery has shown a change of in the past,

985
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: hasn't shown it yet this season at Poor Saint Lucy,

986
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: but seems like the Mets are gung ho to develop

987
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: him as a star ether And it's it's funny that

988
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: he's already been in Brooklyn but now he's back in PSL.

989
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: But I just think they want it's almost like kind

990
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: of like a rehab assignment for him. I think that

991
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: he's someone that if things click, he could get to

992
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: double a by mid season. And he is he's the

993
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: stuff demon that comes out of the mess pitching lab

994
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: this season.

995
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jacob Resnick actually talked about him back in twenty

996
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 3: twenty two. I have a tweets out Jacob Resnik Mets

997
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 3: prospect legend of course, and it was a video of

998
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 3: him blowing by ninety eight against Jason Dominguez when he

999
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 3: was twenty years old. Raymon Gomez, so it's he has

1000
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 3: electric stuff. And apparently he touched one of the three

1001
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 3: in spring training. I mean with an arm like that extension. Yeah,

1002
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 3: that's it's legitimately unfair. And I've seen some videos of

1003
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 3: him just throwing bullpens and stuff like that too. The

1004
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 3: ball zips out of his hands. It's like, oh my god,

1005
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: that's fast. Like he's he's a big dude too, So

1006
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 3: like these are all really cool things to be seeing.

1007
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 3: And for Raymon Gomez, it's really nice to also have

1008
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 3: him port Saint Lucy for this episode because we get

1009
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 3: to get these numbers on this guy, because like this,

1010
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 3: there might be demons honestly at double A, and you know,

1011
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 3: we don't know about it just yet because we can't

1012
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 3: see those numbers, but a guy like Raymon and Gomez,

1013
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 3: we won't miss them when we got the numbers. Like

1014
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 3: this again, you touch at one oh two and you

1015
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 3: got that nasty slider, We're gonna talk about you totally.

1016
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: And it's really fun. It's fun to prep for this

1017
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: and set up a Savant leaderboard where I can go

1018
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: pitch by pitch for every single pitcher in the Mets system,

1019
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 1: and see their horizontal movement, see their induced vertical break,

1020
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: see how hard they're throwing, see their release points, see

1021
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: their extension. The Mets have a dude, Chandler March down

1022
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 1: there in Saint Lucy who's releasing the ball over six

1023
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: and a half feet Yeah, really over six and a

1024
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: filtf feet above his head with just a bowling ball sinker.

1025
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: That's crazy like seeing this Raymon Gomez.

1026
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 3: By the way, Baseball America officially put them on their

1027
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 3: list of ten prospect pitchers that they're keeping an eye

1028
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 3: out for.

1029
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, that's a great thing. But it's fun to

1030
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: see the data on these guys. I hope one day

1031
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: that we get this minor league data through every player

1032
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: in the system, because then we'll just these prospect episodes

1033
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: will be two hours long. But also, before I get

1034
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: to my last three demons, I want to shout out

1035
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: we should mention the fact that Jeff McNeil and Francisco

1036
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 1: Alvas are playing with Saint Lucy this weekend. Prospects off prospects,

1037
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: prospect at ultimate prospects, but prospects none the same. We

1038
00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,959
Speaker 1: saw Alvarez get one hundred and eight mile and hour single,

1039
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: his first play the appearance and now it was first

1040
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: play appearents first game of Saint Lucy and got a

1041
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: nice little nob watch, a special knob watch for our guy,

1042
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Simpson Mets Music. Jeff Lynie's using a torpedo bat

1043
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: down there. So I think that a lot more than

1044
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: probably should has been made of the torpedo bats over

1045
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: the last week, the first week of the major league

1046
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: season probably got a little more shine than they should have.

1047
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: But the guy like Jeff who's now looking to pull

1048
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: the ball, get to get the inside pitch a little

1049
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: bit more. I love seeing that torpedo bats for and

1050
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: this would be fun.

1051
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 3: By the way, Starling Marte got torpedo bats. He posted

1052
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 3: them on Instagram today He's got torpedo bats ready for

1053
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: Sacramento clean up.

1054
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: Hire Starling Marte with the torpedo bats. We love that.

1055
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: But all right, I got three demons today. You're ready

1056
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: for some demons?

1057
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm ready for them.

1058
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 3: Hit me because I I've watched some videos on these guys,

1059
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 3: so I'm excited to see what you have to say

1060
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 3: about them.

1061
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wellington Aresana, this is probably the craziest fastball shape

1062
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: to the Mets have in the minor league right now,

1063
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: because it's a ninety mile in their fastball with natural

1064
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: cut and some rise. People talk about the cut rise

1065
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: fastball a lot. When I say cut rise fastball, that

1066
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: just means it moves a bit to the glove side.

1067
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: So it's cutting in as a right handed pitcher on

1068
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 1: left hand bathers, which is just kind of another pitch

1069
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: that they can have and pull out against those guys.

1070
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 1: Topped out over one hundred miles an hour, and he's

1071
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: picked up five or six ticks of loss season a

1072
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three season. So he's someone that when we

1073
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: talk about the pitching lab, seems like he beefed up

1074
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: Gott in that lab but kind of figured out this

1075
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: armslot and has gotten tons of more life on this pitch. Also,

1076
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: the way that he his pitches are tracked, it looks

1077
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: like that he has a ridiculous color. That gout is

1078
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: sixty grade on Fangrass, and their prospect up there for

1079
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: the Mets last season, they camped him lightly and loosely.

1080
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: Eric Longenhagen to the guys like Camilo d'vall and Emmanuel

1081
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: class A for what he's able to do with side

1082
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: to side movement and his fastball in his color. It's

1083
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: just a stuff monster. Monster needs some refinement. Has a

1084
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: big loop and curveball as well. He's going to play

1085
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 1: the whole season at twenty years old. Someone that looks

1086
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: like could be no, I'm not gonna say a household name,

1087
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,479
Speaker 1: of course, but someone that we can be talking about

1088
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: a lot over the next year. Is someone who I

1089
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to start yet, probably winds

1090
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: up More's reliever because the stuff is so crazy. I

1091
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: don't know how we ever he ever wrangles it for

1092
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: a five to six inning sample. But it's just someone

1093
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: that if you hear a smart guy like Eric Longenhagen,

1094
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: who has been the prospect game for a very long time,

1095
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: comp twenty year old reliever to Camille d Vall and

1096
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: Manuel Class, That's that's some legitimate juice right there.

1097
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 3: And while I was saying it, has another shot to

1098
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 3: Jacob Bresnik. He posted about him a couple of years

1099
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 3: ago when Mets signed him as an international free agent,

1100
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 3: and our boy TJ Stats had him as a standout

1101
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 3: stack cast like favorite so far in a ball this

1102
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 3: year for the New York Mets.

1103
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 2: All Right, give us your other demons.

1104
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: What ell she got?

1105
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: All right?

1106
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: Here's this might be the greatest one. We got Christopher

1107
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: Gomez eleven strikeouts in one walk so far in five

1108
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: innings with Saint Lucy this season, which is ridiculous. It's

1109
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: only a ninety four mile an hour fastball, but he

1110
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: is six five two twenty and he has seven and

1111
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: a core their feet of extension with legitimate lift on

1112
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: that pitch, so that ninety four probably feels like almost

1113
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour when it comes into these guys,

1114
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: and it's missing tons of bats with a huge sweeper too,

1115
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: it's also missing tons of bats. And the last guy

1116
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: just wanted to find another guys throwing one hundred miles

1117
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 1: an hour, Wilson Lopez one hundred miles an hour down

1118
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: there at Saint Lucy. Same with another sinkerballer, Juan ar No,

1119
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: who's getting up to ninety eight and ninety nine with

1120
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: a sinker but with only five and a half yet extension,

1121
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: which is a shockingly low amount of extension. But as

1122
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: a sinker baller, maybe that plays a little bit in

1123
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: four seam fastball. But again, we've got some demons at

1124
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: Port Saint Lucy this season. It's very exciting pitching staff

1125
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: down here.

1126
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 3: In case you guys didn't know, we like guys to

1127
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 3: throw hard. That's something that people don't hit velocity. Well,

1128
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 3: you throw hard, there's a very good chance you're just

1129
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 3: going to be a major leaguer at some point. So

1130
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 3: we're gonna keep bringing up these guys. They might not

1131
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 3: be able to throw strikes, they might not have anything else,

1132
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 3: but you throw one hundred miles an.

1133
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 2: Hour, you're on the Messed Up podcast radar, that's for sure.

1134
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: Yes, And what the fun Prospect Report? I love I

1135
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: love doing these And also one more five minutes for

1136
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: you guys, I'm prospects. Just got this This guy DM

1137
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: to me twice by Isaac and a friend of the podcast,

1138
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 1: Jack Bennett. Frank Ellisult who just.

1139
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 2: Had Yes, he's been mentioned before.

1140
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, just had an eighty grade fastball in his I

1141
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: think it was the first appearance of the year. Ninety

1142
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: five miles an hour with six and a half feet

1143
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: of extension and eighteen inches and very vertical break with

1144
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: the two seamer that played offense. So it looks like again,

1145
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: just lots of demons we got down there right now,

1146
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: pitching lab Eric Gaegers.

1147
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,439
Speaker 3: There's a reason we were never allowed to talk about

1148
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 3: this guy.

1149
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 2: They had to keep them under lock and key.

1150
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 3: They don't want anyone to find out about his win

1151
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 3: powers that he has along with Jeremy Hefner. So yeah,

1152
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 3: the Mets pitching stuff again. This is why they didn't

1153
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 3: trade for pitching prospects all those years ago, because it

1154
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 3: was like, a we can develop pitching like it's no problem.

1155
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 3: It seems like we will make them out of thin

1156
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 3: air hitting. That's where we needed to help. That's where

1157
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 3: our true weekness was funny enough, but this is These
