Speaker 1: ten minutes or less, and Marlons fans, on this episode

7
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: of Big Fish Small Pod, I will be discussing the

8
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: first four picks from a few months ago twenty twenty

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: three draft and seeing how those first four picks are

10
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: performing now to the beginning of their pro careers. Nobel Meyer,

11
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: Thomas White, Kemp Alderman, and Brock Vrandenburgh. So we're gonna

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: go each of these guys see how they're doing now

13
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: starting off their pro careers. Starting off tenth overall pick.

14
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with Nobel Meyer, eighteen year old pitcher

15
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: now with the single ad Jupiter Hammerheads so far four

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: point one point five ERA and only four games started,

17
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: eight point two innings, twelve strikeouts, one point three eight

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: whip Looking at it, he can really just go more

19
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: into a Jupiter starts going against different competition. His best

20
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: start August nineteens he went three innings long as his

21
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: young pro career. Two hits, zero earned runs, zero walks,

22
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: four strikeouts. Really are really great performance seeing from Noble

23
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 1: Mayer and really gives Miami hope and what he could

24
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: become long term. Three innings again, two hits, thirty nine

25
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: pitches top that ninety seven down in seventy seven. In

26
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: terms of his other pitches, you know, ninety six on

27
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: his sinker, go anywhere from ninety two to ninety six.

28
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: His slider in the mid eighties, curveball could go down

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: to the seventies and the low eighties. Really great to

30
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: see from Noble Meyer. There to two pitch and he

31
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: throws the change up that strikes out De los Santos.

32
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Again eighteen years old. It's still developed thing, but he's

33
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: giving up these performances in single age. Really great to

34
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: see again. His last one August twenty six, not as great.

35
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: One point two innings, two and runs, two hits, three walks,

36
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: excuse me, not three walks. Three walks are entire August

37
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: one walk excuse me on August twenty six with two strikeouts.

38
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: So again it's a man at teeter tottering. You have

39
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: one really great start and then you have another one

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: that might be a little more left to be desired,

41
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: but you can just give up young career just getting

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: everything started. So overall with nobel Meyer four point one

43
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: to five, the ra four games started eight point two

44
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: innings and next one. Because relatively almost this gloss over,

45
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: just because there's really nothing to go about there, Martins

46
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: select the thirty thirty fifth pick Thomas White one game,

47
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: point two innings pitch, so to go this. It was

48
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: in the FCL against the Astros. He gave up four

49
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: runs zero on earn, So just a really wacky game

50
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: there between the Astros and errors and everything pitches going haywire.

51
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: But with there with Thomas White, two walks, two strikeouts,

52
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: the strikeouts reelected to see the walks can be whatever

53
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: for Thomas White, but again maybe not really nothing to

54
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: go there. You can't really talk about his pro career

55
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: where he hasn't even pitched a full inning he had

56
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: in the major or in the minors. So we're gonna

57
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: go ahead from that and go to Kemp Alderman, who's

58
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: relatively played already twenty three games close to one hundred

59
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: at bats so far. With Jupiter looking at seventy seven

60
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: at bats thirteen hits, no home runs yet seven RBIs,

61
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: four walks to close to thirty strikeouts. Kemp Alderman has

62
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: been struggling a lot at the plate for Jupiter. One

63
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: to sixty nine average ops A five h four, slugging

64
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: to two thirty four. This is not what Miami really

65
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: hoped for from Camp. He had one of the highest

66
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: power grades coming out of the draft, and I was

67
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: there looking at him in DP when he was introduced

68
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: by the Marlins and every ball was flying out of

69
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: Loan Depot Park. But again, you can't really judge a

70
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: player at all. Still in single A twenty three games,

71
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: not even one hundred at bats to his name, but

72
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: it's still Rusty's maybe because they rust or just really

73
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: getting used to the competition and the minors now and

74
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: you're going away from college and now in your pro career.

75
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: But if with Camp, I do have high hope for

76
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: I do believe that he could produce ext actually exponentially

77
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: well for the Marlins organization. If you just go by

78
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: him and you kind of look at his August again,

79
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: slightly better. One ninety seven is walking a bit more

80
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: in terms of his entire August, but again the hits

81
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: are just coming relatively low. It's a lot of maybe

82
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: one hit games, one for four, one for three. You

83
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: might have one two hit game just mixed in there.

84
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: But again for camp I think it's just gonna need

85
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: more repetitions and just keep putting him out there more

86
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: as he gets used to this. Played in the SEC,

87
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: He's used to tough competition. Jupiter should be really nothing

88
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: for him, should be up very soon, hopefully to double

89
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: A or excuse me to hi E in Beloit. But

90
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: Camp Alderman, it's just gonna be some more repetitions, more reps,

91
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,119
Speaker 1: getting used to the pitching, and not even one hundred

92
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: at bats in his minor league career. So I still

93
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: have high hopes for camp Alderman and do believe that

94
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: he could do it again. The outfield played that in

95
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: Ole Miss played a bit of catcher also for the Rebels,

96
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: but for now the Marlins look to have him in

97
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: the outfield just to help broaden that up. And again

98
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: twenty one years old, the Marlins would like him to

99
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 1: go up and up the ladder sooner rather than later.

100
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: But don't expect this is gonna turn into a Nolan

101
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: Shannel situation like the Angels have done a hum where

102
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: a month or two after he's drafted, he's already in

103
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: the majors. This is not gonna happen with camp Baldermer

104
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: are gonna take their time with him a bit, but

105
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: not gonna take that much time. They do want him

106
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: hopefully up sooner rather than later in terms of getting

107
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: them up to the different levels in the organization. And

108
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: going from Kemp Alderman, who was with the forty seventh

109
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: pick in the second round, we're gonna go ahead, third round,

110
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: seventy eighth pick Brock Randenburg, Michigan State, another twenty one

111
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: year old, this time first baseman six seven to thirty

112
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: so big man. And here with brock Randenburg seventy eight

113
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: at bats, seventeen hits, one home run, nine RBIs, three

114
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: stolen bases, then he is performing a bit better comparacs.

115
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: When you look at Kemp Alderman two eighteen average, three

116
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: forty four on base percentage six to six ops, and

117
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: just looking at most of his stats is performing very

118
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: well in terms of when you're comparing it to the

119
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: other players that the Marnins has selected, and just looking

120
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: at someone in their first eighty at bats, you wish

121
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: the slugging could go up in terms of home runs

122
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: and the ability to get the ball in the air,

123
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: but the on base percentage is really good. I do

124
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: like that. Three forty four is a really good number

125
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: for a guy who has less than one hundred at

126
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: bats in his career. Fourteen walks to twenty six strikeouts

127
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: again even and bad, and I do like that for Brock,

128
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: And you look at his couple games before, he is

129
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: really hammering the ball. His last four games. He has

130
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: eight hits in his last four games with three two

131
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: hit games, So really great to see there from Brock.

132
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: And I do believe there's another guy that could really

133
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: ascend up the ladder because he's been really matching the

134
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: ball as of late, with a couple of two hits

135
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: two hit games. He had a four hit game August

136
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: nineteenth and Jupiter excuse me, four total bases, excuse me

137
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: one hit that was the home run that he got

138
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: on August nineteenth. But really great to see from Brock Brandenburg.

139
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna go only go higher and higher

140
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: in terms of his production and really excel in in Jupiter.

141
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: The way he's just performing. I think probably now he's

142
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: really getting the hang of it, and in terms of

143
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: what he's doing in Jupiter, getting first base and getting

144
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: all these reps, and I think this is a guy

145
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: that maybe could be maybe the surprise guy of the

146
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: draft class, maybe the guy that could be up to

147
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: the other levels of organization of the hitters. In terms

148
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: of the other one, again, you know, the Marlins haven't

149
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: really been the best in terms of developing hitting. But

150
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: it brought can continue keep ascending up the ladder, can

151
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: keep improving with his hitting, with his power work because

152
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: he can really look for the ball and get the walks.

153
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: But if he could improve in the other ways, then

154
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: I think this guy can really climb up the ladder

155
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: and maybe by next year he's in Double A something

156
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: like that. But so far, Brock Vanderburgh looks to be

157
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: out of these four looking maybe in terms of their

158
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: young pro career, who has been the best so far,

159
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: But again, these guys nothing really crazy to see right now.

160
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: Is just so so young in their careers. It's still

161
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: in the toddler stage of their pro careers. Again, both

162
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: hitters Brock and Camp don't even have eighty at bats yet.

163
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: Thomas White hasn't even thrown a full inning. And then

164
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: you look at Nobel Meyer, who who at most have

165
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: thrown three innings in one game, but I would say

166
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: probably here Noble and Brock have really been performing relatively

167
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: well to where they were drafted and how they're gonna

168
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: before the form for the Mormons hopefully in the future.

169
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: But this does it for big fish small pod as.

170
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: Always check it out Twitter, go like, share, and always

171
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: go fish
