We had a bunch of 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:46.960 other things going on. 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.479 The draft of course too, still have the draft recap 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.080 coming up in the next few days. But men, it 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.360 has been overdue to catch up with the minor leaguers 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.720 that have been performing less of a break too than 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.400 the big leaguers. We've got minor league games kind of 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.640 more quickly on both ends of the break, So a 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.480 lot of games to catch up on here, and a 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.920 lot of new names that we're going to be talking 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:09.040 about in today's episode. 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:10.800 Yeah, we got a fun group today. We got we 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.520 have a tongue going on in the JB world. You'll 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.440 hear about them more later and into this week. We 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.200 have like six different new fun ventures we're working on 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.760 right now, which is keeping us both busy but the 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:20.760 minor league side of things. 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:21.480 There is so much. 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.679 I angled this heat sheet basically all of July because 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:26.480 we had two weeks prior to the break, we had 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.000 the All Star Break, and then we've had you know, 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.200 five games since then, so our four to three games 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.960 since then, So combination kind of, like you said, a 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.000 little bit overdue here, but a variety of like some 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.720 top prospects, some names that we've definitely never talked about, 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.880 some names, one name that I just heard of earlier 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.679 today because you mentioned it to me. So it is 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.680 a really fun group here. I think that the start 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.320 of it is a little bit more some bigger end names. 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.400 And we'll kick it off here with on Hellca now 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.880 of the Guardians organization, talk about somebody that you know, 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:55.320 I know you guys are going to get into this 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:56.880 in the call at you with Jack sometime soon, but 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.080 like get out could be locking. 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:00.440 On the knocking on the door point. 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.120 And he's had a good year, but really turning it 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.720 up of late this past month for him. You see 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.680 him finding it in triple after you know, starting the 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.960 year double, getting the triple, being a little bit slower 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.760 out of the gate the past month, he's been unbelievable. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.160 Yeah, and now has just always been one of the 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.239 more talented players in the field anytime I watch it. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:18.799 And this is a guy that's in a really good 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:19.360 farm system. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:19.560 Right. 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.360 But now, even when the numbers didn't quite maybe match 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.080 some of the people that you'd see around him or 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.480 some of the prospects ranked near him, you would see 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.320 the field to hit from both sides. You could project 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.880 the power, the arm strength on the defensive side of things, 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:33.640 and it was just kind of this waiting for it 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.040 all to come together. This is definitely a guy that 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.880 has added some strength now as he has progressed into 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.600 his age twenty two ish season. He's in twenty one, 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.480 I think for more of the season too, So age 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.959 twenty one slash twenty two season. At the upper levels 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.000 as a switch hitter, you've seen the hard hit rate 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.160 jump by fifteen percent for her. Now you've seen the 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.520 bats ball exactly the same, which is great because that's 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.400 already been an asset for him, eighty eight percent in 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.080 one contact, eighty one percent overall contact. So you parlay 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.600 that with much better quality of contact. And the other 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.440 aspect that I was always waiting on for him was 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.040 the swing decisions, and he's cut his chase rate by 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.720 eight percent this year. So you take a guy that 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.640 always had good bats of ball skills from both sides 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:13.960 of the plate, and you improve the quality of contact, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.280 you improve the swing decisions, and it's not a surprise 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.000 that at age twenty one to twenty two you're seeing 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.160 Canal really settle in at the Triple A level, where 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:23.480 I'm really fascinated too. 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.600 Now is just kind of where he fits in. But 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.880 the fun part for him, and like you said, we're 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.320 going to talk about guys that could get caught up 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:30.280 sooner rather than later. 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.400 The fun part with Henw is his arm strength is 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.400 ridiculous and I think he could be a phenomenal third 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.640 basement already played ten games at Triple A at third. 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.120 I like him at short still, but obviously they've got 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:45.440 Rokio doing great things there, and obviously Ramirez is still out, 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.640 so you have a short term potential option there. Maybe 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.440 with the injury they want a DH here and there. 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.320 You could play hen now at a little bit of 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.120 second base, but you've got Bizana, so now it becomes 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.920 this complex situation there. I'm interested to see how they 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.120 figure it out. But at least now gives himself a 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:01.880 little bit more of an opportunity by being able to 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.560 play all three infield spots. And the one thing that 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.240 will answer all of those questions, or at least force 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.040 the Guardians to find an answer, is if now hits, 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.120 they need offense, they need power, and even all of 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:14.960 a sudden, he's starting to add a little bit more 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.320 of that. With the ten homers this year, They'll find 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:18.760 a spot for him, one way or another. 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.159 His approach has also been ridiculous the past month of 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:26.440 games for now fifteen walks, three strikeouts, and he's hitting 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.600 over four hundred in that spin in his last twenty 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.200 games of play, So he's got to get on base 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.320 at a five hundred clip. He's not striking out at 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.520 all lately, and he's walking at a crazy high clip too. 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.320 So like he just I think for a team like 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.160 Cleveland right where like you look at it and you're 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.240 just like without Jay Ram, like you need to find 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.359 any way to get more offensive juice in that lineup. 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.880 Yeah he's twenty two, and yeah he's kind of still 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.120 mixing around positionally, but like that guy, it would be 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.000 an improvement to their lineup. And you know, they're pushing 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:54.320 for a division right now, they're in a really tight 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.440 race with the Docks at the top, and like he's 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.120 going to help that lineup one way or another at 0:04:58.120 --> 0:04:59.080 some point, I feel. 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.560 Like and I'm excited to see how they try to 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.200 find that, because the follow up on that is, like, 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.120 the two things that I would be most concerned about 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.280 for now at the big league level would be like, hey, 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.080 the quality context isn't good enough, so it's gona put 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:11.920 a lot more pressure on the hit tool and finding 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.880 the gaps, which he's closed that eighty seven miles prior 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.240 average xuvosity in ninety. The other is, hey, he's a 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.360 little bit over zealous. Pitchers may pick on that he's 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.080 improved that as well. So I know they have this 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.520 love affair with Gabriel Arius, but there may be a 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.280 point where they can't pal with the forty three percent 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:32.040 strikeout right and they make an adjustment there. Before you know, 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.480 you get Jose Ramirez back. But if not, it's gonna 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.520 be tough to figure out where exactly good play Bizana. 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.400 It's tough because his fun as he is offensively is 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.640 not a good hitter. Excuse he's not a good defender, 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.400 excuse me. So he's just not good at second base, 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.160 you would presumably be upgrading there, but I don't think 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.400 they're gonna want to take Bazana off a second. I'm 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.600 I'm interested to see how the Guardians figure it out. 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.320 But they have another guy knocking on out the door 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.480 on Triple A that can swing the bat a little bit. 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.880 Yeah, I think they're gonna make that push, and he's 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.640 another guy that will be right in the mix for 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.920 them going forward. Going over to our second player up here, 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.600 Peyton Graham of the Tigers organization. Not someone I think 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.000 we've talked about on the call up so far, but 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.440 the numbers are just dotty for this guy, so I 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:15.080 had to mention it. He's you know, he's twenty five 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.400 years old and was a second rounder in twenty twenty two. 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:22.040 But it's been definitely a slower development track generally speaking 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.440 for Graham, who really hasn't had you know, a plus 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:26.200 minor league season. 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:27.080 He helps injuries. 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.400 Last year he was good in an HIA and this 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.120 year has been even better at Double A. So yeah, 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.280 he's a little bit old for the level, but fifty 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.159 stolen bases through through seventy four games so far this season, 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.360 it's getting on base in an over four to thirty clip, 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.960 particularly of late Peyton Graham has just been awesome and 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.280 has really looked like someone that the Tiger is like. 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.279 I don't know if it's this year, but like going 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.680 from a former second round pick who kind of didn't 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.000 have a ton of energy around him, dealing with injuries 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.880 a slower track, last year started to look like something, 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:55.680 and this year really looks like something. 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.640 Honestly, Yeah, this is fun. 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.320 The Tigers seem to have these guys I feel like, 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.400 almost more than other orgs where seems like they've stalled 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.960 out developmentally, like oh, maybe not as exciting as you 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.800 thought when you drafted him a little bit earlier, and 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.520 then all of a sudden in year three or four, 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.480 something seems to click and Graham seems like another one. 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.680 And we saw Valencia make his big LEIG debut for 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:22.640 them and hit that homer. This is fun because Graham 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:27.360 is also really versatile, and this is another team that 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.560 I think they're going to be interested to plug in 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.440 certain guys of different spots, even if it's not this 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.800 year when they're trying to project things out for next year. 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.880 Graham has played, you know, and I think you can 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.960 play a solid shortstop. But he's also because I think 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:41.640 they want him to be the super utility type. He's 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.440 played some center field, a little bit all of a sudden, 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.440 he's played a little bit of left field obviously, plenty 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.640 of reps at second base as well. You mentioned the 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.040 speed and that wrinkle to his game. The fact that 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.040 it's fifty one on fifty four tries is crazy. So 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.200 it's not just high volume guy that's just exposing you know, 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.520 bad catch and throw with catchers or just pitchers that 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.000 don't hold anybody. On his average ex of voss, he's 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:03.680 up two and a half miles per hour this year. 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:06.280 He's elevating more consistently. 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.760 And again the contact rates are holding serve exactly so 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.400 when you see another player chase rate cut down by 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.920 ten percent, so in decisions better hitting the ball harder 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.240 and maximizing the other aspects of your game. I don't 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.320 think it's a surprise that Graham is starting to put 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.920 this together here. And yeah, he's twenty five years old, 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.520 but I don't think it matters when you see the 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.200 peripherals change that much, and again you see him make 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.240 these changes in terms of being an asset on the 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:33.000 base pats. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:34.400 And it's also. 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.719 Not like it's a he's repeating high A for the 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.440 third year. He made the jump to double A and 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.880 is having this breakout. So this is a fun player 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.319 to monitor that I think could be a really fun 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.680 utility piece for the Tigers. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:48.600 Yeah, it's easy to look at these types of players 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.000 and say, oh, a twenty five year old who was 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:51.920 drafted out of college four years ago and just kind 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.000 of write them off, right, But it's cool when you 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.760 see these guys take a step and it's like, Okay, 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.520 there was clearly some very noticeable development now for the 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.599 past year and a half for Graham, and yeah, he 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.840 might not be a high end prospect at any point 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.800 just given his age and his status, but like it's 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.640 having an incredible season and then one of the best 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:08.439 in the Tiger system. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.120 So it's worth at least, you know, keeping a close 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:10.800 eye on what he's. 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:11.200 Doing right now. 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.760 And they'll, again, I need the right handed bats that 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.520 they have making their way up. I think are going 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:17.720 to get a decent look at some point. 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.680 They love balltooning, so that's how they roll, honestly. So 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:22.760 the next one is I went a little bit out 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.400 of order actually, because this guy didn't just get bumped 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:28.480 to Triple A. But Cam Canerella of the Miami Marlins organization. 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:29.160 Dude, I know. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.280 You've you've talked about Canarella. We've had him, you know, 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.040 highlighted him a couple of times of late. It has 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.520 been nuts so far for Canarella his first pro season. 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.079 He is just destroying minor league baseball. His numbers and 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.440 his you know, he played thirty four games in Double A, 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.600 finished that span with a one seventy eight w RC 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.920 plus hitting three forty four and now he makes his 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.320 way to trips and he just made his you know, 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.640 three games so far and trips obviously, but like his 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.960 numbers in high and Double A are off the charts 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:57.920 for for the you know, CBA pick from. 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:58.560 Last year's draft. 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.520 Yeah, a little bit of a late start to being 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.400 banged up and or just so not having the same 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:04.959 body of work, I should say so. I think he 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.640 got hurt early in the season and has quickly made 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.120 up for lost time and is climbing so quickly. I 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.680 think the quick push to Triple A says a lot 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.800 and get probably another player that'll be nestled into the 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:21.319 potential big league call up episode because the glove has 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:25.160 not quite been as advertised in college. You see the 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:29.000 finishing ability, the speed and the hand eye to be 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.959 able to make these acrobatic and difficult catches and lay 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.600 out and whatever it may be. The jumps are not 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.840 great and the reads, like the routes are still just inefficient. 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:40.599 So I think that's gonna be a big focus for 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.600 him in Triple A because I think the Marlins are 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.480 looking at a team right now that yeah, they've dropped 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.600 seven in rows for recording this, but Jacob Marcy has 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.280 been struggling a lot in center field. If they can 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.600 get an upgrade and center and a guy that can 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.160 give them a little bit more offensively, I think if 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.319 Canarellas mashed his way through Triple A and the reads 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.480 and routes look better, I don't know if you can 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.800 rule that out because of what he's been doing offensively, 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.280 the guys hitting three to fifty on the season with 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.240 an ops over one thousand. Now, I have some questions 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.360 about how it's going to translate, just because he doesn't 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.439 really pull the ball much at all, and when you'll 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.960 get the spray charts like only seven percent of his 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.880 batted balls have been to the and really none in 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.160 the outfield. He has not hit one batted ball to 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:28.800 down the line in left field it or excuse me, 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.880 down the line in right field, and then all the 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:32.840 way towards about midway through right. 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.040 Field, like that whole portion of the field. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.400 If you divvied up the field in one, two, three, four, 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.960 five sections, the one of the five sections all the 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:42.239 way in right field has. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:43.839 No badded balls in the affild. And that's a very 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:44.800 specific nitpick. 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.640 But like even the home runs are backside, the airpool's 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.200 really low and almost everything's inside out. So if he 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:55.559 gets just really busted inside on hard stuff, does that 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.720 create a little bit of a problem. That's something that great, 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.080 let's find out at the big league level. So clearly 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:02.640 it's not an issue for him in the minor leagues. 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:04.960 He still has the feel for the barrel to be 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.000 able to inside out swinging and hit the ball the 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.000 way that he has. The other aspect that's interesting is 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.320 he doesn't have the top top nd eggs velocities, but 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.520 he just finds the barrel so consistently. Whereas average ex 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.920 velocity is ninety two miles per hour this year, despite 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.320 the fact that the max air exs of velocity is 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.839 one oh nine. So this tells me this is a 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.000 guy that has a really high quality of contact floor 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.040 and if he can find a way to pull the 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:29.920 ball in the air a bit more consistently, I think 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.840 there's a lot more to be able to see translate 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:32.680 at the big league level. 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:34.720 He likes to bar that arm out kind of. 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.480 Late in his load, and I think it makes it 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.960 hard to get the barrel, you know, out in front 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.079 to be able to pull stuff more. Again, I think 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.439 that could get exposed a bit at the big league level. 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.360 But I'm talking about a guy hitting three fifty across 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.240 the three levels right now with one thousand oh ps 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.360 so from where he was going into this year, and 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.760 those two little nitpicks defensively and offensively. The fact that 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:54.600 he's brought himself to a point where we're nitpicking things 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.800 that may translate to the big league level this early 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.280 is crazy because I would have never thought he had 0:12:58.320 --> 0:12:59.560 a chance at debuting this year. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:00.520 Well, I think the. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.719 Marlins had to be really excited about where Canarella is at, 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.040 and those little adjustments could be what makes. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.000 Him a well above average every day outfielder. 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.480 You mentioned the track there too, like like forty third 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.559 overall pick last year, and yeah, he was a college guy, 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.440 sure for like I think compared to some other guys 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.200 in that similar range of draft, I think a lot 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:16.480 of people thought he was going to be a little 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.160 bit of a longer development track for Cantarella compared to 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.400 some of his peers who were that first second round 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.640 college guys. And he's actually been one of the quickest 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.400 movers in that entire draft class, Like he could be 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.840 one of the first, you know, not the first, but 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.920 like he could be in the first batch of compin 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.640 jarms to debut from that draft class. And I don't 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.480 think anybody really expected that coming out of his draft 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:34.000 last year. 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.000 No, especially because he had a great walk here, but 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.199 power was cut in half, and I think that was 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.280 something that the Marlins really wanted to see him tap 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.920 intwo more and clearly he has. I think that the 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:46.800 ball is flying a little bit more on each of 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.600 these levels. But I still think there's there's a lot 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:50.840 to be excited about there. The swing decisions are good, 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.920 the quality contact for being where it's at, and I 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.280 still think the airpool aspect and not being able to 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.760 pull the balls consistently, could wear its head a little bit, 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.600 but the fact that again that's the nitpick is an 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:03.480 exciting development. 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:05.600 Yeah, the next step. 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.160 I've had some names written down, but I think I'm 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.680 just going to rephrase this name to the Biloxi Shuckers, 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.000 because this is just kind of the Biloxi Shuckers. There 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.000 are six hitters right now in Biloxi over the past 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.160 month with a nine to fifty or higher ops. I mean, 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.840 what are we doing here? That is absurd? So I'll 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:24.200 read the names to you and then you can choose 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:25.520 which direction you want to go with this. But like, 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:26.800 it's not it's some of the top guys. It's not 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.240 even some of the top guys too. There's some guys 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.600 that aren't necessarily as big name prospects who have had 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:35.560 really good stretches of late. Blake Burke, Matthew Wood, Josiah Ragsdale, 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:39.280 Andrew Fisher, Mike Bove and josh Adam Chevsky. Are these 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.720 six guys with a nine to fifty or better OPS 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:45.240 over their last month of play for Biloxi, obviously headlined 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.680 by you know, Fisher, Adam Chevski. Even Burke too, who 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.920 are all top fifteen prospects for us in that system. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.760 But like it's it's insane when you just look at 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.760 that line up top down, and that doesn't include his Susmandet, 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.680 who actually hasn't been as good marginally as he normally 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.640 is compared to these six guys that are all just 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:03.720 mashing right now. 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.720 For blocks, it's Josiah Ragsdale was the latest one where 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.560 I'm just like, dude, I mean, how am I supposed 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.160 to How am I supposed to keep up with you? 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.880 When you've have eight other teammates I've been locked in on, 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.680 you know, on top, Like he was a seventh round 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.280 pick in twenty twenty five out out of Boston College 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:25.000 and with Ragsdale, I mean he was in iona transfer 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.520 to Boston College and even in that draft year, like 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.400 it was good numbers. He saw five homers in his 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.320 first full pro season. This year he's got ten and 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.880 he just mashes way through hya he gets up to 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:38.840 double and he's torching the Southern League. 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.360 Like that's a perfect guy. Where you have a college 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:42.640 bat who. 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.680 Really put up some good numbers in hi A, it's 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.280 the perfect guy for me to be like, oh, he 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.040 might hit me his match a little bit in double 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.200 A like seventh round college bat later around college bat 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:54.480 who handles high end and. 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.320 Not even like it's you know, a top end school. 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.000 Right transfers into the top end school for one year. 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.560 You're like, You're like, that guy's gonna meet his match 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:05.680 in double A. No, he's been better, And that's somebody 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.520 that you look at this skill set. 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.520 Its like, of course, of course the Brewers were all over. 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:12.840 He's super twitchy. 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.600 When I watched the video, like the bat speed is there, 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:18.920 he can really move, and. 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.000 It was somebody that you look at this team and say, what's. 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.160 He gonna hit seventh's It's nuts what they've been able 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:26.960 to do here. So Raxxale is a guy I'm really 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.920 excited about to just continue to watch here because he's 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.360 patient but not too too passive. Yeah, I think there's 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.360 a good job of kind of controlling the strike zone. 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.120
