1
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: Welcome into another episode of Earning Their Stripes. My name

2
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: is Danny Martinez, and again the whole gang is here.

3
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not even gonna give you a long

4
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: introduction because quite frankly, we have so much to talk about.

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Whether it's Gallon's debut, yeah, my Moto's continued success, a

6
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: bunch of promotions, are segments, whatever the case is.

7
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: So let's just go into it, right Ethan. I'm gonna

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: let you go first.

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: One of our guys, Zach Gallen, gets the call up

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: at Saint Louis in front of his family against the

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: team that traded him away. Five innings, pitched one and

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: run five hits, struck out six. What did you like?

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: What did you see? I mean, at the end of

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: the day, it was successful debut. But talk to me

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: a little bit about your thoughts on that.

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I actually wasn't able to watch the game.

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 3: I was doing stuff that night, but I saw the

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: highlights and really what I saw was the punch outs

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 3: and that change up is pretty nasty, man. I mean,

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: he had that thing working, he got gold Schmidt with it.

21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: He looked, he looked good, like his secondary stuff looked

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 3: really good. His line is pretty clean. He gave up

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: some hits, but only two walks, and he limited damage.

24
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 3: You know, it's just the thing that we're looking for

25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 3: for a lot of these guys when they come up,

26
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 3: and you know, it's a thing that we'll talk about

27
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: with them. Amoto and his last start, but it was

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 3: just good to see him, and you know, he talked

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: about I saw like a pregame interview with him, and

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 3: he talked about how, you know, when you get drafted

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: by an organization, you expect to make your debut in

32
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: that stadium and in that uniform, and he said it.

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 3: You know, there was definitely it was on his mind

34
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: a little bit, and I think you could see that,

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: and he came out inspired and he threw a gem.

36
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: You know, you could you could are five innings of

37
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: one run ball and six k's against a good lineup

38
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: like he would pitched really well. So really exciting to

39
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,279
Speaker 3: just see these young guys come up, and Eli Ezer

40
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 3: has kept dealing and Yams had another great start that

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: we'll get too. So just exciting to see these young

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: guys at the big league level and just watch another

43
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: guy on TV that we you know, had been waiting

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: to watch for a couple of years now.

45
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was awesome. I don't think the Cardinals want

46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: to see another one of our rookie pitchers for quite

47
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: some time. Yeah, this has been a good week for

48
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 4: our rookie guys. Gallan was exciting to see pitch. He

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: looks like a guy who couldn't get anybody out when

50
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: he stands on the mound. But he comes out there

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: and throws this disgusting off speed mixed with I mean

52
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 4: his fastball was mixing around hitt ninety four, was sitting

53
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: ninety two most of the game, but the off speed

54
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: was moving like like I wasn't expecting it to and

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: it looks phenomenal. Like mc ethan said, the changeup was filthy.

56
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 4: I mean the first couple of k's he got, I

57
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: mean he had Goldsmith got Goldsmith I think in the

58
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 4: fourth ending on like a three to two change up

59
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: in the dirt, which was which was soon for nasty

60
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: and I mean falls I'd expecting that. Yeah, he was

61
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 4: getting out extremely good hitters on some filthy pitches, and

62
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 4: he looked great. It was great to see him come

63
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 4: up there in front of his family and pitch that

64
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 4: he did, and just to continued success from Yammoto and

65
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 4: Gallen has been awesome. I mean, this week in Marlin's

66
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 4: baseball has been probably the most fan excited I've seen

67
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: a really long time. So it's been fun. I mean,

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: I'm glad we're here to talk about it.

69
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's interesting.

70
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: How and we hinted at this last week and it

71
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: just continued over this week. All of a sudden that

72
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: the tide is turning a little bit. People in Miami

73
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: are okay saying that they're Marlins fans. The national media

74
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: is starting to realize that there's something happening here with

75
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: the pitching, and there's even up there some offensive marks

76
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: at the major league level that we won't get into now.

77
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: But it's exciting to see the I guess the fruits

78
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: coming up, man, I mean, Yeamamoto and we're gonna get

79
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: to him in a second Gallon. We've been seeing what

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: Sandy can do. It's nice to finally see some validation

81
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: and some fruit of the rebuild, because for a while

82
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: all we had was Brinson and that wasn't exactly going

83
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: the way of the Marlins. So it's nice to see that.

84
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: I'll add my two cents with Gallon and it's going

85
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: to be something that I'll repeat with Yamamoto as well.

86
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: You know, him coming up here and having just allowing

87
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: two walks, only two walks. It's really impressive. You see

88
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: these young guys come up and to have the control

89
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: and the composure, which was a key word with Yams,

90
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: to be able to pitch to these impressive lineups. Say

91
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: whatever you want about the Cardinals and not hitting the

92
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: way that they're supposed to, I don't care. It's still Molina,

93
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: it's still Goldschmid, it's still a Zuna, it's still Carpenter.

94
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: Them being able to have that precision with their pitches,

95
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: not allowing the anxiety to get to them, and even

96
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: when it does, like with Yamamoto and that first inning

97
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: at Philly, being able to overcome that. Yams goes to

98
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and he has a great outing again. Right in

99
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: his last two starts at Saint Louis in front of

100
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: forty thousand people and then at Philadelphia in front of

101
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: forty thousand people, twelve innings, pitch two runs, allowed four hits,

102
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: fourteen strikeouts to six walks.

103
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: Three of those.

104
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: Walks came in one inning, all right, And that's pitching

105
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: to a zero point nine to five eer, not just.

106
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: The first, not just one inning, the first three batters

107
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 3: of the game, yep.

108
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: And he ended up walking just one more the rest

109
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: of that game, and he got out of that inning

110
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: with just two runs allowed. So again, a lot of composure.

111
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: I'll let Ian go first on this one. But Yams

112
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: continues to show us exactly what we were hoping to see,

113
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: even if we were a bit surprised that he got

114
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: called up when he did. And then I'm gonna want

115
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: Ethan because you actually put out an article today on

116
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: Yams as well to talk a little bit about that.

117
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: But Ian, go ahead and give us your thoughts.

118
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. I actually missed this start. But what I

119
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 4: talked about when Yams was called up was the biggest

120
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 4: thing was working out of trouble, and after watching the

121
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 4: highlights of the Philadelphia game, it's exactly what he did.

122
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 4: He showed his bulldog composure on the mound like he

123
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 4: does every night, and really just dominated the mounter after

124
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 4: that shaky first inning. It's the type of stuff you'd

125
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: love to see, especially when he's at the highest level

126
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 4: you can go. Yams is showing extreme composure right now.

127
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 4: I mean he's already three starts in and I wouldn't

128
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 4: expected him to be making these three starts right now,

129
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 4: and he's looked miles miles farther ahead than I expected.

130
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 4: And seeing this offspeed mixture he's throwing to guys like

131
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 4: Bryce Harper and j. T. Vrumuto Andjuan Segera and names

132
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 4: like that is just exciting. I mean, these are some

133
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 4: of the best hitters in the game, and Yams is

134
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 4: making him look foolish. So it's very exciting to see

135
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 4: this guy pitch like this, and I'm seeing what he

136
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 4: can do going forward.

137
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I put this article out onsday, I

138
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: wrote it last night in this morning, and this has

139
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: that Pablo feel I finished the article with that, right,

140
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 3: is that this feels eerily similar to the way that

141
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: Pablo exploded onto the big lead. Seeing last year where

142
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: he came up in an emergency situation, made the start dealt.

143
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 3: We didn't know how long we would see him for,

144
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 3: and now you know, obviously he's down on the injured

145
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: list right now. But you know, I think a lot

146
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 3: of us expect Pablo to be a player in this

147
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: rotation for many years to come. And that's what I

148
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: wrote about in my article today was just that yams is,

149
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,559
Speaker 3: how are you going to send this guy down right now?

150
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: You know, he's thrown nineteen innings and I think the

151
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 3: most impressive thing, and again I said this in the

152
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: article was the strikeout numbers, because he was on here

153
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: and he told Eli and I that he doesn't really

154
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: see himself as a strikeout guy anymore. Right, he went

155
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: to Arizona and we asked him about the adjustments he made,

156
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: and he said that him and his pitching coach got

157
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: together and were just like, look like, I'm not you know,

158
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: I'm not a guy that's going to strike out thirteen

159
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 3: every night, you know, like I did last year.

160
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 5: This year, at least, I'm not really a strikeout picture.

161
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 5: The badges are getting a lot better. They just hard

162
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 5: to learn me more because they have more video on

163
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 5: me and all that stuff. But for me, it's I've

164
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 5: talked to my coordinators and as he coaches, it's more

165
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 5: I'm more of a weak contact pitcher. He's not a

166
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 5: very big strike up pitcher anymore. It's more of just hey,

167
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 5: here here's the pitch. I want you to hit, and

168
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 5: go hit it, you know, do what you can with

169
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 5: with my pitch instead of pitch, and they take and

170
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 5: they take it and they wait for their pitch, you know.

171
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 5: So now I'm trying to make them hit the pitches

172
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 5: that I wanted to hit.

173
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: He's getting guys with his off speed stuff, which has

174
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: looked great all year, and he's also ringing guys up

175
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 3: on the fastball and putting the fastball on the edges

176
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: and getting guys to swing and miss at you know,

177
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: ninety three and stuff. So he's looked filthy and he's

178
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: looked composed. And you know, we talked about in the

179
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: first episode, I think where we said what were we

180
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 3: going to look for from him? Ian just brought it up.

181
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: The composure and how he works himself out of tough situations.

182
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: We hadn't seen him get into any early trouble, uh

183
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: until yesterday in Philadelphia, and he gets into a bases

184
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: loaded situation with no outs to start the game, and

185
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 3: he only allowed a single and then strikes a guy out,

186
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: gets a pop out and a flyout and that's it,

187
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 3: you know, And the rest of the way he cruised

188
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: pretty much and his line turned out impressive. So ah, man,

189
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: it's been so good to see and like I said,

190
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: like we you know, we we talked about, well, how

191
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: long is this four? Is this a two start a

192
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: three start thing? Like he's made three starts now and

193
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: he's through nineteen innings and those numbers, you know, A

194
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 3: point ninety five e RA two point four or five

195
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: feeling independent pitching, you know, a ton of strikeouts, like

196
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: nineteen strikeouts in nineteen innings. Like, how do you send

197
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: this guy down? I don't think you can, because you know,

198
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 3: if if the you know, he's not gonna throw seven

199
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 3: scoreless every night, but if he's gonna throw something like

200
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: what he did in Philly every night, that's really good

201
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: from a middle of the rotation guy, and uh, you

202
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 3: know that's probably what we all expect MS to be.

203
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: So I don't know how you can send this guy

204
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: down right now. I think you just got to let

205
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: him keep pitching, and you know, worst case scenario, he

206
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: starts to struggle a little bit. He wasn't supposed to

207
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 3: be here anyway, you send him down for some fine

208
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: tuning and bring him right back up, kind of like

209
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: what's what happened with Sandy at the end of last year. So, ah,

210
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: this has been awesome. I mean it's just so exciting,

211
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: and he's been so good that it's just you know,

212
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: it's the future. And like you said, Danny, like it's

213
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 3: funny how a couple guys make a few really good

214
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: starts and then all of a sudden, everybody starts getting

215
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 3: back into the Marlins and now they have the third

216
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 3: best era in baseball, and everybody's like, look at what's happening.

217
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 3: Something's actually happening with this pitching in Miami. We've been

218
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: telling you guys for a long time, and now it's

219
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 3: it's happening, and it's here, and it's just it's beautiful.

220
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

221
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: And if it sounds like we're preaching, it's because, damn it,

222
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: we are preaching. Like this is a freaking, incredibly exciting

223
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: thing to see that Yama Motor number one friend of

224
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: the show, right, he's the first one that really came on.

225
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: And you know Ian and I of course Ian brother

226
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: like you and I couldn't be here to do that interview.

227
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: So Ethan is the one that was able to do

228
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: the interview with Yam, so the first one to really

229
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: be able to go out and be who we wanted

230
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: him and expected him to be. You know, we talk

231
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: now about the fact that the Marlins have the third

232
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: best starting staff ERA in baseball. I think it's top

233
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: six with fifth, So it's not like it's just all

234
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: about the defense out there. Over their last I think

235
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: thirty five games are twenty and fifteen. That's a ninety

236
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: win team. I know it sounds ridiculous, obviously, and this

237
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: isn't an MLB podcast, right, But the reason I'm saying

238
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: that is because look at whose backs it's been on.

239
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: It's been on the young rotation pieces that we have

240
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: been speaking about and the San dii Alcon trials that

241
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: we would have been speaking about if we had this

242
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: podcast last year. So for those that think we're excited,

243
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: damn Wright, we're excited because there's a reason for us

244
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: to have this excitement moving forward. I don't want to rant,

245
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: because I won't. All I'll say is that it's impressive

246
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: to think that even the six to Sanchez and the

247
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: Edward Cabrera and the Rogers and the Holloways, like they're

248
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: not even here yet, it is going to be such

249
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: a good problem to have it.

250
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: We got some we still got some time. That's crazy, man.

251
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 3: It's like we still have you know, two or three

252
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: years before some of these guys make their first appearances.

253
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 4: So we forget about Nick Nider too. Who'll be back. Yeah,

254
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 4: he's gonna throw. I mean he didn't do nothing but

255
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 4: throw the best in the system last year, so yeah,

256
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 4: we'll see it'll do when he's healthy, when he comes back.

257
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: Ian, I want to stick with you because you send

258
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: out like you know, you're just a magician with this

259
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: tweet a couple of weeks ago about or actually last week,

260
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: about the promotions that were going to take place right

261
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: and you hit them all on the mark. I mean,

262
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's like you actually know what you're

263
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: talking about. I always say that on this podcast. Talk

264
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: a little bit about some of the promotions that have

265
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: happened in the system as we transition from Yams and

266
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: Gallon to our minor league boys right now, because there's

267
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: been a lot of promotions and a lot of exciting

268
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: things with the GCL kicking up with Patavia kicking up

269
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: last week, Tell them a little bit about who you're

270
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on.

271
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's been exciting. I mean every level

272
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 4: you look and it seems like every day it's a guy,

273
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 4: or every two days it's a new guy on a roster,

274
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: and the three guys I really wanted to see moved

275
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 4: in the next couple of weeks where Robert, Robert Duggar,

276
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 4: Chris Vaalamont, never Cabrera, and it's all happened. Robert Dugger

277
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 4: has already made a start for New Orleans. He went

278
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 4: five innings, He had six strikeouts. I think he had

279
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 4: two earned. He had the quality start. It was a

280
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 4: good night. I think they lost after he came out,

281
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 4: I believe, but he looked good.

282
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: I mean it was his.

283
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 4: First starting triple eight. He looked great. Vallelymont I think

284
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 4: took the lost yesterday for Jupiter, but again looked well

285
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 4: in his first start. He was a fifth round pick

286
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 4: last year in the draft, our first pitcher, and he

287
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 4: came out and dominated so far to start the year

288
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 4: for Clinton. So it's exciting to see him get the

289
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 4: early promotion to Jupiter and to see what he can

290
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 4: do for the rest of the year. And my guy,

291
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 4: I mean, the guy I'm the highest on out of

292
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 4: anybody I think is ever Cabrera. I've been pushing this

293
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 4: promotion for weeks and finally he got his call to Jacksonville.

294
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: I think I believe yesterday I was even Yeah, I

295
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 4: was out in Saint Augustine and I didn't notice. It's

296
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 4: like back to my car and got super excited. So

297
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 4: I'm stoked to see him up there. I think if

298
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 4: you're making his start on Thursday or Friday this week,

299
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: so I'm excited for that, I'll be tuned in. So

300
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 4: that's the guys. I'm looking forward to the GCL start today.

301
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 3: I did.

302
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 4: I didn't make it, but we got some exciting guys

303
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 4: down there. Not seeing Tristan pompe Is back on the

304
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 4: field playing. So it's been a really exciting week man.

305
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 4: I mean, I know you guys got some guys you

306
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 4: want to talk about. Someone leave some for you. So Ethan,

307
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 4: what do you got for me?

308
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 5: Yeah?

309
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: Crazy, crazy, crazy week, man, I mean just you know,

310
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: guys flying all around. One guy I want want. Two

311
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: guys I want to talk about specifically are Burdick and Edwards,

312
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 3: two of the draft picks. I think Burdick was the

313
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: fifth rounder and Edwards was the tenth rounder. They were

314
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 3: in Batavia for no more than a week. I don't

315
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: even think Edwards was there for like three games, and

316
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: then was in Clinton immediately and then Burdick was there

317
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: maybe a week uh, and he's now gone to Clinton.

318
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 3: So that's really exciting. To get those guys up to

319
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: high a ball where I thought they should start in

320
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 3: the first place, or low a ball, excuse me, but

321
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: you know, up a level that's really good. I think

322
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: there's a good chance if they hit well there for

323
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 3: a month or so, they could see the end of

324
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: the season out in Jupiter. Jarrar, Yeah, I said Jacksonville

325
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: because I just think, you know, he dominated so so

326
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: much this year and hit for so much power in Clinton.

327
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: That's just like, you know, is there even a need

328
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 3: for him to go to Jupiter, But letting him there, yeah.

329
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: I think getting him there though, has been good because

330
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 3: the bats in Jupiter kind of woke up this weekend

331
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 3: and they had a nice week. I'll talk about some

332
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: of that a little later, but I'm really happy Girar

333
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: got moved up. It's about damn time that he got

334
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: moved up. He's another guy I think can make another jump.

335
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: He could be in Jacksonville by the end of the year.

336
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 3: Riley Mayhon moved up. He was having a great year

337
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: in Jupiter, one of the only right spots in the

338
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: Jupiter lineup this year. He went up and is hitting

339
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: really well in Jupiter or in Jacksonville. Excuse me, hit

340
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 3: a home run in his first game. And then you

341
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: talked about Valamont. He kind of disappointed in his first start,

342
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: which is fine, no big deal. It was his first

343
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: start there. But Humberto Mahia had a really nice He

344
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 3: came in in relief and pitched like four really good

345
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 3: innings in Jupiter, and so that's exciting. Both of those

346
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: guys belong in Jupiter.

347
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: And yeah, and then.

348
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: Dugar had a nice start. So a ton of guys

349
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 3: moving up, a lot of movement around the system. It's

350
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: that time of year. I think we'll see a little

351
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 3: bit more here. But I'm ready to get Bledet in here,

352
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: get him to Jupiter or something and see some of

353
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: these other guys. I'm really excited about the GCL roster.

354
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: And yeah, it was a crazy week. Man, It's so

355
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: much excitement.

356
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this won't be the end of it. I mean,

357
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot more promotions before the end

358
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: of the year. You know, Tristan Pumpey's down there because

359
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: he was hurt. I would assume that him being the

360
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: GCL is more about him getting his timing back and

361
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: rid them back, and then he'll eventually be back up

362
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: to wherever they place him, maybe even to Jupiter.

363
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: You know, you're looking at.

364
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: A guy like Edwards who can possibly he's at short

365
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: season right now, possibly get moved up. I agree with

366
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: head add in Carnassio and already probably should have been,

367
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: you know, promoted higher than he was. So that'll be

368
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see and follow.

369
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 2: The rest of the year. We already touched a little bit.

370
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: Actually, remind me, did we touch a little bit on

371
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: six oh Sanchas We did not yet know, but because

372
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: that was our conversation beforehand, I mean six O Sanchez

373
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: is someone who could get promoted as well. I'll let

374
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: y'all you talk about it now, because yeah, that was

375
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: right before we started recording six those Sanchez has been

376
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: looking good and six O Sanchez is likely someone who,

377
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: for as crazy as it sounds, might actually be someone

378
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: we see in September at the Major League Ball Club.

379
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: But I'll let Ian talk about that for a second.

380
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm a guy who I think so

381
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 4: neat as much time as anybody did be the picture

382
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 4: the best picture he can be, but I was able

383
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 4: to see him throws for the first start I was

384
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 4: able to see him throw this year live was a Saturday,

385
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 4: and he looked electric. I mean, the instant comparison I

386
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 4: made watching him on the mountain was a Johnny Quada

387
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 4: with more velocity.

388
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 3: Love that.

389
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 4: I mean, the kid just dominated dominated the quality lineup.

390
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 4: I mean as Killer Roff was in, was in the

391
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 4: two hole, Lewin Diaz was in the wasn't and cleaned up.

392
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 5: It was.

393
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: It was a good line up to his face.

394
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 4: And this week in pensyl from Pensacola, and he came

395
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 4: out there and through I think seven endings, struck out eight,

396
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 4: got the win, two earned. He had a couple of

397
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: hard hit balls the center, but there were two doubles

398
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 4: that really limited the damage on. I mean, the kids

399
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 4: got electric stuff. The fastball as effort lifts. The change

400
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 4: up is sometimes somewhere in the mid eighties every time,

401
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 4: and it's it's keeping him, excuse me, somewhere in the

402
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 4: low nineties every time, and he keeps hitters off with

403
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 4: that plus plus basketball, he's a guy. I think it's

404
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 4: gonna maybe make one more start in Jacksonville. He went

405
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 4: seven innings this past weekend. I think he makes another

406
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 4: start like that, he'll be promoted, and I really don't

407
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 4: know where at this point, with how the promotions are

408
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 4: moving into Marlins right now. Yeah, I think his innings

409
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 4: will be limited. So if there's gonna be a start

410
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 4: where there's maybe a spot start, he could be added

411
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 4: to a forty man down the road. But that's just

412
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 4: extreme speculation. I don't think they're going to rush this

413
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 4: guy at all. I think I'll end up in pitching

414
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 4: three to five starts in New Orleans, however you shake it.

415
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 4: I don't think if he sees a major league grocer

416
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 4: it will be more than one start. But yeah, this

417
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 4: kid is really, really, really good. I know everybody's talked

418
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 4: about him and he's high on prospect lists, but I

419
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 4: had never seen him live, and I wanted to talk

420
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 4: about him since I've finally seen him live and he's

421
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: only twenty, so man, man, I know people have called

422
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 4: him the baby pager before, and that's the high ceiling,

423
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 4: so I'm not gonna call him that yet. But if

424
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 4: we can get Johnny Quato out of him, I'm even

425
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 4: excited about that.

426
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: And I'll say one thing with six to zero really quickly.

427
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: When we're having the conversation about him possibly be coming

428
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: up in September, None of us here on the podcast

429
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: are actually saying that, you know, we're we're welcoming that

430
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: with full arms, or that we need him to be

431
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: up here in September. But he has pitched to the

432
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: point that now it could be a part of the

433
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: conversation of options. I think that's where at least I

434
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: would present that, you know where before we were talking

435
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: about we're going to limit innings, which is something that'll

436
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: probably still happen, and I don't really want to see

437
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: him in September this year, but he has somewhat shown

438
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: us that he could at least be an option.

439
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 2: Do you agree with that, Ethan?

440
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I personally don't think the Marlins should throw him

441
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: past August, just because you got to be careful with

442
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 3: this guy. He's only twenty and you just saw, like

443
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 3: Jordan Hicks just went down today with an elbow injury.

444
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: You don't, you know, he had elbow troubles last year.

445
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: You don't want to risk that too much. So you know,

446
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 3: it seems like he threw like eighty seven pitches, so

447
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: it seems like the Marlins have been capping him around ninety,

448
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: which I think is good. You know, he's pitching so well,

449
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 3: and like we you know, we talked about just last week,

450
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 3: we talked about how he's been good, but we haven't

451
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 3: seen that seven innings you know of one run ball

452
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 3: or whatever, you know, with high strikeouts. Well, damn it,

453
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 3: it happened, guys like this. It finally happened his line, yes,

454
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: yesterday or the day before, whenever it was. It was Saturday, Saturday. Yeah,

455
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 3: seven innings, seven hits, two runs, no walks, nine k's there.

456
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 3: It is like, there's your start. Right. If you were

457
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 3: worried about him, be worried no more, because that was

458
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: the start we've all been looking for for so long.

459
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: You know, two runs, didn't walk anybody in control. Nine

460
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 3: strikeouts he threw like I think it was seventy one

461
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: strikes on eighty seven pitches, which is just ridiculous, Like

462
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 3: that's just unheard of.

463
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 4: In high nineties degree weather. Just yeah, pounding.

464
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 3: It's hot out there man in Jacksonville. And he and

465
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 3: if you look at his numbers, like forty five innings

466
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: in Jacksonville now and he's got it rolling. Man. I mean,

467
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 3: his numbers look really really good after that start three

468
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 3: three era on the dot. His f IP is even

469
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: lower at two three nine. His case per nine is

470
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 3: up to eight point eight zero. Let's look at some

471
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 3: of these other numbers. Not giving up a ton of

472
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 3: home runs. His strikeout rate is about twenty three percent,

473
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 3: his walk rate is below four percent. He's just been

474
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: really good and getting better with every start, and it's

475
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 3: kind of like pinnacled into this this last start. And

476
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 3: you know, I didn't really think that New Orleans or

477
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 3: the MLB was a possibility this year until we were

478
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 3: talking before the show, Ian and you mentioned that. But

479
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 3: if he makes one more start like that, I mean,

480
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 3: there's no reason not to move him up. You know,

481
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: if he's going to dominate this kind of competition, let

482
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: him get some more competition. But I think it's okay

483
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 3: to keep him in double A and let him just

484
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: like you know, we always talk about marinating, and let

485
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 3: him sit in double A and keep pitching really well

486
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: and get more of these types of starts out of him.

487
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm not going to argue against the Marlins

488
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: moving him along quickly. I just the one thing I

489
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: would be careful of is rushing him to the Bigs

490
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 3: because you know, right now, like there's not really a

491
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 3: need for him, because eventually, like Caleb's going to have

492
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 3: to come back, and you know what, what are we

493
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: going to do with that? And then Pablo is going

494
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: to have to come back, and what are we going

495
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: to do with that? So with the way this staff

496
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 3: is pitching right now, I don't see a need for

497
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 3: six Toe. But I'm not going to complain if I

498
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 3: get to go see him at Marlins Park this year,

499
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 3: Like why why the hell would I complain about that?

500
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 3: Based off of what Iam was saying yesterday, you know,

501
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 3: or just now about how he's ready and he looks

502
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 3: amazing and he's Johnny you know, he looks like Johnny Cuato.

503
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I love watching Johnny Cquato pitch. So I

504
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 3: would love to see him up at the BIGGS this year.

505
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: But even right now, with the even the way he

506
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: pitched last night, I'd say that's kind of a pipe dream.

507
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 5: Still.

508
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, similar to six O Sanchez, someone who you're going

509
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: to see quite often on the top of the prospect

510
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: list is Monte Harrison, and last week we spoke about

511
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: the fact that he might have been dealing with some

512
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: hamstring issues. He was being kept out of the lineup,

513
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: but he was supposedly healthy. They were just being safe

514
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: with him. Well over his last fifteen plate appearances or so,

515
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: he's slugging almost seven hundred.

516
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 2: He has two homers in the week.

517
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: Lewis Brinson's another person that I'm gonna want y'all to

518
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: kind of update. And quite frankly, it's the emails that

519
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: I keep getting are about that. For all the hate

520
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: that is on Twitter about Louis Princeton, people that apparently

521
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: listen to us actually want us to update on what

522
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: we're seeing with Princeton. So when you're talking about that

523
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: combo down in New Orleans, Louis Brinson and Monte Harrison,

524
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: is there anything that sticks out for you guys? I

525
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: know we just spoke about Brnson last week, but Ian,

526
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: I'll let you go first. Anything that you're looking at,

527
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: anything that you're excited about this week.

528
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 4: This week, I mean the continued approach. I mean he's

529
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 4: still hitting the ball extremely hard. I mean he's got

530
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 4: he's got his OBP is still in the mid mid

531
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 4: three seventies.

532
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: You know, his numbers look good down in triple a

533
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 3: and you know, he's just doing his thing, man, and

534
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 3: if he's hitting, I'm happy, you know, So that's good.

535
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: And really, what I'll highlight there again is it's nice

536
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: to see Monte healthy, and it's nice to see him

537
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: hitting for some amount of power as soon as he

538
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: came back, you know, no fears of lingering concern.

539
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 2: There with the leg or whatever the case may be.

540
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: So happy to have Monte back, happy to have him healthy,

541
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: happy to have him swinging hard. To some trending position players.

542
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: And I'm going to go with one that'll get some

543
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: eye rolls as well. But Victor Victor Masa right, something

544
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: we're going to continue to talk about because he's one

545
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: of our top prospects, but also because he's somewhat disappointed.

546
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: Right over the last ten days. His slash is three

547
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: twenty three point fifty seven three twenty. That tells you

548
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: two things. Number One, he's going to continue to make

549
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: contacts because that's what he does. He actually is getting

550
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: somewhat on base at the moment, at least this week.

551
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: But there's just zero power. I mean, there's just nothing.

552
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: There's no extra base hits. No, there's nothing.

553
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: Right.

554
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing, and the other part of that,

555
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: because that's the concern, is that he's not hitting for power.

556
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: It was never supposed to really be a part of

557
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: his game, but goodness, you want to see something. You

558
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: want to see some level of iso, some level of

559
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: isolated power. The other part of his game, though, is

560
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: that A little fun fact with him is he has

561
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: the lowest K percentage amongst all qualified Marlins players in

562
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: the entire system from the beginning to the end, so

563
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: from the major League to the lowest ranks that you

564
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: can get, he is striking out less than everybody else,

565
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: which means that his tools continue to be shown. He

566
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: still has a lead speed, He's doing perfectly fine on

567
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: the defense from all the metrics we can see with

568
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: the glove, and he is making solid bat to ball contact,

569
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: but there's just no power there. It's something we're going

570
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: to want to continue seeing. It's something that quite frankly,

571
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: I believe for the year he has one double and

572
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: I think three triples actually.

573
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: So something that we want to see.

574
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure that you guys can echo that even though

575
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: he has a low K percentage and he has high

576
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: contact rate, you need to see a little bit more

577
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: power from him to be a really bona fide prospect.

578
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. But the good thing is that the thing

579
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 3: I want to see him do more is just get

580
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 3: on base, because he can use his speed so well.

581
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 3: I mean, he's used his speed all year when he

582
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 3: has the chance to get on base, you know, so

583
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 3: he's been I think he's been walking a little more recently,

584
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: and like you said, Danny, like he's just not striking

585
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 3: out at all, which is you know, has all year

586
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: has been the one bright spot for him. But yeah,

587
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 3: come on, put the ball to the warning track, kid, Like,

588
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 3: stop landing it in front. You know, just getting these

589
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 3: like bloop singles and stuff, you know that are landing

590
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 3: in front of guys. But twelve point five percent k rate,

591
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 3: you know, if he can hit a little more. His

592
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 3: OBP is fifty points higher than his average, and he's

593
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 3: gotten the average up a little more with a couple

594
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 3: of nice games this week. Like, just start putting something

595
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: together and like I think eventually, like he has such

596
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 3: like they've talked about, his swing is good and he's

597
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 3: such a good hitter that eventually he'll get some kind

598
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 3: of power, you know, with maybe some you know, a

599
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 3: couple doubles. Yeah, he's got one double and three triples,

600
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 3: so if he can just get some kind of power.

601
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 3: But for now, it's just let's get that average up

602
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 3: because we're expecting him to hit, you know, up around

603
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 3: three hundred. So for now, I'm just hoping he can

604
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 3: shrink some hits together.

605
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: And the thing with Victor Victor Mace, at least in

606
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: my eyes, is again, this is a kid who came

607
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: over from Cuba and he defected, and whatever the case

608
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: may be, he hasn't seen live pitching in two years.

609
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: We know all of the reasons why we're not necessarily

610
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: panicking that this is happening with me.

611
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: It's are you coachable? Number one? Are two? Can you

612
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: put on some amount of weight?

613
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: He's not the smallest guy in the world, but clearly

614
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: it's not translating to either his bat path or whatever

615
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: angle he's hitting at. It's just ground ball after ground

616
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: ball after ground ball. And like Ethan said, even the

617
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: hits that you get film on are the blue pits

618
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: that fall right behind the infielder but right in front

619
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: of the outfielder. So we're not getting much gap to

620
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: gap power here. Is he culturable? We don't know that right,

621
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: We are not going to pretend to know that. Can

622
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: he change his mechanics a bit to add some loft,

623
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: not lengthening his swing, but add some loft to his swing?

624
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: And is there anything there that can unplug a little

625
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: bit more power because he has to have something. We

626
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: can't have a zero isolated power. It's not You're not

627
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: going to be a major league hitter like that. Is

628
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: there anything that you've seen or anything you want to see?

629
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 4: I mean, from since spring training, the swing I'm seen

630
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 4: from Victor vigor Mesa is not one that's going to

631
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 4: lend to power. His bat speed is lacking that I

632
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 4: think it leads to the most problems with his power

633
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: is he controls zone, but he cannot get the barrel

634
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 4: of the zone at a speed or any velocity that

635
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 4: he needs to. He hasn't had an extra base it

636
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 4: now since June third. It's like except sixteen games or something.

637
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 4: It's rough to see. I mean, his batpath is extremely straight,

638
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 4: there's not lunch loft to it, and it's flow, so

639
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 4: he's getting a barrel on the ball, and it's he's

640
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 4: got so much foot speed and so much quickness that

641
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 4: he's beaten ground balls out and he's squeaking him past,

642
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 4: squeaking him past third basements and first base.

643
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: So his extra base hits so far this year have.

644
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 4: Been have even been worrisome to some, and that I

645
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 4: think is his biggest problem so far, is the speed

646
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 4: of the game is really just not there for him yet.

647
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 4: He's got such an advanced approach and he can control

648
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 4: the zone so well that he's getting hits, but the

649
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 4: bat speed is just not there yet, and I think

650
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 4: it's gonna come with time. It's definitely worrisome to see.

651
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 4: And with his age being twenty two almost twenty three

652
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 4: years old, we're gonna have to start seeing some progression

653
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 4: and if he is culchable, like you said, Danny is

654
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 4: a big question mark as well. But going forward, the

655
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 4: strikeouts or are non existent, but the walking still needs

656
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,959
Speaker 4: to go up, and hitting for power just has to happen,

657
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 4: and I think I think he'd be there. I think

658
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 4: he's gonna have a chance to be a decent prospect

659
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 4: on forward, and I'm excited to see what we can

660
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 4: see for the rest of this year. I mean, seeing

661
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 4: this past week, i think he's got five RBIs in

662
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 4: the past three games, which is nice, but the power,

663
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 4: Just give me some power.

664
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

665
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: One quick thing I want to touch on Danny is

666
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: like the thing that's been worrisome all year has been

667
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: the ground ball rate. But actually there's a bit of

668
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: a positive there right now his ground it's crazy to

669
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 3: say with his ground ball rates still being fifty seven

670
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: point one, but it was up above sixty not too

671
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 3: long ago. It was like sixty two, I think, not

672
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: too long ago. So yeah, he's still putting the ball

673
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 3: on the ground fifty seven percent of the time. But

674
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 3: if he can cut that down more and more and

675
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 3: start hitting some line drives like, that'll be good. And

676
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 3: he's cut it down five percent, you know, recently, so

677
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 3: he can just start putting the ball in the air

678
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 3: more like, that'll be good. But yeah, it might take

679
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: an off season for him to you know, get some

680
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: more batspeed and put some weight on and you know,

681
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 3: switch up the swing a little bit to get some

682
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,239
Speaker 3: more loft. So we'll have to see. But you know,

683
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 3: like you said, Danny, like no panic. We've talked about

684
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 3: all year that there's just no reason to panic. But yeah,

685
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: like next year is probably the make or break year

686
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: for him because there won't be that excuse of, well,

687
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 3: he hasn't seen pitching in two years, because now he

688
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: has and we'll see, we'll see how he keeps going

689
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 3: this year.

690
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

691
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: Something that sticks out with me with Victor Victor Mesa

692
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: is craigmish of swings and mishesh had Gary Dembo on

693
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: his podcast and Denbo said something to the extent of,

694
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: when we get a new player here, we let we

695
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: don't tinker and mess with their swing for X amount

696
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: of months because we let the player do what they've done,

697
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,719
Speaker 1: and then we will tink. Right, So that could very

698
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: much be a case with Victor Victor Masa where we

699
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: see aiming completely different swing or mechanics at the plate

700
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: by the time that we're in the off season.

701
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: Because this is kind of what.

702
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 3: Happened with Mante, right. Monte talked to us about it,

703
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 3: like he, you know, last year he still had the

704
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 3: highlight kick and wasn't doing you know, the things we've

705
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 3: seen him now, and then all of a sudden he

706
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 3: went to Arizona and sat down with the big wigs

707
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 3: and look at what he's doing now, you.

708
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: Know, which is, by the way, a fantastic player developmentally,

709
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean a fantastic developmental player theory. When I when

710
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: I heard him say that this is why he was

711
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: one of the architects of the great Yankees. I mean,

712
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna change your swing. I'm not going to

713
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: tell you what to do from day one, because I'm

714
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: no one to tell you what to do. I'm going

715
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: to make my assessment over what was it ian.

716
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 4: Six months, I believe.

717
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 2: Over six months.

718
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,479
Speaker 1: I'm going to be thoughtful and mindful and insightful on it,

719
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: and then we're going to sit down and change things.

720
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: And if that's what happened with Monte, which it seems

721
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: like it's the case, it can definitely be with VVM

722
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: with Mesa, And that's the first thing that came to mind.

723
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: You know, he's very much an unfinished product. I believe,

724
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: only twenty two at the moment. Let's see. Let's see

725
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: what happens when they start to turn the gears a

726
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: little bit and change some things. I'm going to give

727
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: the Florida you guys to talk about any players you

728
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: want to highlight, but I'm going to say one last

729
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: guy because I mentioned him last week. Will Stewart continues

730
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: to impress after again those two outings with those two

731
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: innings that inflated his ra and really was just a

732
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: bad outing on his part. Over the last calendar month,

733
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: thirty one innings, pitch two point zero three ERA eighteen

734
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: case to seven walks. So it's nice to see Will

735
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: Stewart again, another friend of the show, bounce back from

736
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: that early difficulty that he was having after he came

737
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: to see us. Quite frankly, I was a little scared

738
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: that no one else was going to want to come

739
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: talk to us, because like right after it was like

740
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: two three starts that were rough. So it's good to

741
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: see him get back on the horse per se. And

742
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: just one more guy, I'd bet del Guerrero, which was

743
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: my under the radar guy over the last calendar month,

744
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: thirty innings pitch two point four eight Era twenty seven

745
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: k's so some nice pitching from players that you might

746
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: not hear or see at the top of the rankings

747
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: or in the national media. I'm always going to be

748
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: the one that wants to bring out those guys, But Ian,

749
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: I'll let you highlight anyone you might want to highlight

750
00:34:58,560 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: before we get to our segments.

751
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 4: I just got one guy just we got to talk

752
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 4: about her, and we can't leave him alone. That's a

753
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 4: son Diaz. I mean, another ten days, another raking week

754
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 4: for him. It's got I think six extra or five

755
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 4: extra base hits with two homers, two doubles in a triple.

756
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 4: He's got on base percentage of four nineteen over the

757
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 4: last ten days. I mean, what more can you ask

758
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 4: from this kid? Just keeps tearing it up. I'm so

759
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 4: excited to see him here in a couple months. So

760
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 4: it's all I have to say about trending players. We're

761
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 4: gonna hill and more guys in our segments, so I'm

762
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 4: just gonna leave it at that.

763
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you have here, Evan?

764
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: I can't believe nobody's talked about this guy yet. I mean,

765
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: we talked about him in the promotion segments. But what

766
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 3: a way to go out in the What a way

767
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 3: to bow out a Jupiter for Eddie Carrera. Just a

768
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 3: tremendous outing. Five innings, four hits, one run, two walks

769
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 3: in eight strikeouts. I'm so happy he's in Jacksonville. He

770
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 3: deserves it. He's been possibly the best arm in the

771
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 3: system this year, probably the best arm in the system

772
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 3: this year. He's been outstanding and he has earned this promotion.

773
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 3: We've talked about it so much, and I don't have

774
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 3: to tweet Jacksonville a thousand times a day anymore to

775
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 3: get the marlin smoothest guy up. He's going up. I'm

776
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 3: really excited to see what he's gonna do. And all

777
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 3: credit to him, man, he earned this. I didn't think

778
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 3: he was gonna get to Jacksonville this year, but feeling

779
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 3: there is no reason to keep him in Jupiter anymore,

780
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 3: especially with the spot opening up in Jacksonville, let him

781
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 3: go to Jacksonville, let him stick down with six Stow,

782
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 3: let those guys start plotting, and let's see what happens.

783
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 5: Now.

784
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 3: I'm really excited to see him in Jacksonville soon.

785
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, just some K numbers on Caburra and on six

786
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: do Sanchez because I bolded them here because they're just impressive.

787
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: Over the last thirty days, Eddie twenty seven case to

788
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: six walks, over the last thirty days six though thirty

789
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: five ks to four walks. I mean, just ridiculous, ridiculous.

790
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: It's beautiful to see them in Jacksonville. And I'll say this,

791
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: you know a player, and especially a picture, it can

792
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: get promoted from anywhere. I mean We've seen guys get

793
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: promoted from high A all the way to the major leagues,

794
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 1: but for me, when they get to double A, that's

795
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: really where I say they're.

796
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 2: Right on the door.

797
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: You know, I don't need to see a picture get

798
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: to triple A to expect the promotion up to the

799
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: major leagues. A lot of people have that misconception, and

800
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just wrong in my opinion, but mine is

801
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: that when they get to double A, that's the real show.

802
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: And at that moment forward, we could be seeing Eddie

803
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: Cabrera and six Oos Sanchez up at the big leagues

804
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: by opening day of next year, which I know sounds

805
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: crazy because of the age, and I'm not saying that's

806
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: what I would do, but with them being in double A,

807
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: it's a big, big step for their careers and just

808
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: congratulations to them absolutely.

809
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 4: All right, Ian take us to your segment. Okay, well,

810
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 4: Hitter's and Pictures of the Week. I mean, I'm going

811
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 4: to stick with Batavia. We haven't really talked about that

812
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 4: often today, and I got a couple guys that aren't

813
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 4: being talked about too much in the regular media and

814
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 4: the prospect media, and that's Remy Reid Pitture of the Week.

815
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 4: He's kind of an older prospect at twenty four years old.

816
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 4: He's been a reliever for most of his college and

817
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 4: major league career. Her minor league career. He missed six

818
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 4: months last year after making just two relief appearances in April.

819
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 4: So he's came out this year, made two starts through

820
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 4: ten innings, had five hits, had nowhere and runs walked,

821
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 4: are struck out fifteen. He's walked one guy. He's got

822
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 4: a plus plus basketball that's hit ninety seven. He's got

823
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 4: a slider that breaks out the plate that kind of

824
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 4: resembles a plus power slider that somewhere like a Noah

825
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 4: Cinderguard throw throws. Excuse me, the kids got some nasty stuff.

826
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 4: But he just hasn't stayed healthy. His elbow just hasn't

827
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 4: held up for him. So it's a big year to

828
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 4: see what he's done in this past week. He's just

829
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 4: really looked phenomenal. I expect him to move up pretty

830
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 4: quickly if this happens. So that's a guy to keep it.

831
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 4: That's a guy to keep your eyes on. Another one

832
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 4: is our twenty third round pick from this year, and

833
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 4: that's Nick Reedy. That's Randy Reedy's son. He was a

834
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 4: Jacksonville manager last year. He's an air Force Air Force

835
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 4: grad who's been raking so far for Bactavia. He's played

836
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 4: in eight games. He's got on base seven out of

837
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 4: eight games. He's sit in three thirty three, three forty

838
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 4: four and slugging six thirty three. He's got four doubles,

839
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 4: a triple, a homer. The kid's got plus power. He

840
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 4: won the college home run Derby last year. He's he's

841
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 4: got a lot of potential. And I was reading online

842
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 4: there's a waiver that Air Force grads can sign that

843
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 4: allow them played baseball if there's an Olympics coming up.

844
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 4: So if he's supposedly training to be on the Olympic team,

845
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 4: he can play baseball. So that's something to look out

846
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 4: for that he can continue his career instead of serving

847
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 4: his duty. Those are my guys this week. They're kind

848
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 4: of under the radar, but they've been really exciting to watch.

849
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really feels like an under the radar segment.

850
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: I like it. I like go ahead.

851
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 3: There's been a couple of those dominant performances from under

852
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 3: the radar guys in Batavia like that. This kid Jackson Rose.

853
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 3: He was a thirty fifth round pick last year out

854
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 3: of Minnesota, and he went five innings, five hits, no runs,

855
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 3: no walks in seven shrikeouts. Like there have been a

856
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 3: couple of those in Batavia. So it's cool to see,

857
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 3: Like some of these guys that you don't really know about,

858
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 3: don't really hear about, but in Batavia, man, like they've

859
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 3: had some really really good pitching performances.

860
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 2: I'm really excited for your things. We love to see.

861
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 2: I could see what's coming up. Yeah, I could see

862
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 2: what's go for it.

863
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 3: Let's go for it right now. Because I actually just

864
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 3: logged onto Instagram double task, and I saw in the

865
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: scene posted a story a video on his story of

866
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 3: his infield single from today, and this kid can fly,

867
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Like he got an infield single and

868
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 3: he didn't even draw a throw, gets out of the

869
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 3: box really quickly. He went three for five today with

870
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 3: three singles in the GCL, which is awesome to see him.

871
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 3: You know, not have zeros in the column for too long,

872
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 3: like in the batting average column, not have triple zeros

873
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 3: up there. See him get rid of those right away

874
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 3: and go through three for five is awesome. Another guy

875
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 3: that part of that, part of that first bullet is

876
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 3: Tristan Pompeii. Just seeing him back in the lineup is

877
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: just really good. I'm really excited about that. I love

878
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 3: that because you know, we didn't really know what was

879
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 3: going on with him, and I hope everything is okay

880
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 3: with him, and just to see him back in the lineup.

881
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: He had a nice day. He went one for three

882
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 3: with a walk and three RBIs so good. Glad the

883
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 3: gcl's going. There's a lot of exciting guys there that

884
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 3: you're gonna want to keep your eyes on. And there

885
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 3: was a nice Victor Masa drew two walks today, which

886
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 3: is awesome. So that's really good. And then the next

887
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 3: thing is Mante back at it again. You know, was

888
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 3: out for a few days and then first came back

889
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 3: hit a home run, so that's awesome for him. Just

890
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 3: keeps raking. He's back in the lineup tonight, and finally

891
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 3: they looked like they were easing him back in. He's

892
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 3: started a couple of games in a row though. And

893
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 3: then yeah, we touched on Mesa earlier. He had a

894
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 3: three hit and a four hit game this week, and

895
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 3: you know that's just good just to see him hitting

896
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 3: the ball and getting on base, because that's what we

897
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 3: need from him, is just to get on bas So

898
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 3: three hits and four hits, you know, I don't care

899
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 3: if they're all infield singles. That's always exciting. So it's

900
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 3: good to see him actually putting the ball in play

901
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 3: and getting some hits. And yeah, man, that's my things

902
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 3: we love to see this week hashtag t wlts chick.

903
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: All right, So we're gonna wrap it up with my

904
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: under the Radar and I might as well, like I

905
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: don't know, tribute this section to the pac Man.

906
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 2: That's someone on Twitter who loves you. Love that guy

907
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 2: loves Milton Smith.

908
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: The second, very fancy name my under the radar guy,

909
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,439
Speaker 1: Lefty Lefty. He's only twenty one at the moment. He's

910
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: an outfielder. He's a twenty second round pick in twenty eighteen.

911
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: Last year, he showed that he could hit the ball right,

912
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: they make contact, absolutely right, that he could get on base. Again,

913
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: we're not gonna have a lot of power, but his

914
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: slash last year three point fifty two in rookie ball,

915
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: four thirty three on base, four ten slugging, he walked

916
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 1: eleven point five percent of the time, only struck out

917
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: seventeen percent of the time. And he's just someone that's

918
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: gonna use that speed. He has a good glove in

919
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: the outfield and again back to ball contact. He hasn't

920
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: disappointed this year. Now, of course, only twenty three played

921
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: appearances so far in short season, but he's hitting four

922
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: to twenty nine, getting on base forty five percent of

923
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: the time with a slug of four twenty nine, and

924
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: again walking at a four point three percent while not

925
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 1: striking out only at a four point three percent as well.

926
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: He could also run the base paths a little bit,

927
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: has a stolen base so far this year. I mean,

928
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 1: he is someone who's not gonna have the highest ceiling

929
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: in the world, right, Like I know the pac Man

930
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: would have him number one, okay if he could, and

931
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. But yeah, not gonna have the

932
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: highest ceiling in the world, but someone who is a

933
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: fun piece to monitor going forward, because when you have speed,

934
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: when you have back to ball contact, and when you

935
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: have a knack to getting on base, you're someone that

936
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: should be highlighted.

937
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 3: Danny, you talked about his strikeout percentage, that four point

938
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 3: three percent. He's only struck out once this year in

939
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 3: seven games. That's insane, that's crazy.

940
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, the kid knows how to make contact.

941
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 3: Just hits the ball, man. I mean, you can't ask

942
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 3: for more than that, right, you can't ask for more

943
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 3: than a guy just hit the ball all the time.

944
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: And Okay, if I'm being fair, apparently I've never met

945
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: Milton Smith the second, but pac manhatts he's like a

946
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: really nice guy. I mean that's why he's his favorite prospect.

947
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,080

948
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,480
