Morning
JEFFREY COLON
MMs BLUE prospect, 6-1 RHP Jeffrey Colon made his first Brooklyn Cyclones start this past Wednesday.
The 22-yr. old speedballer was signed as an International UDFA and began his Mets stateside career last season for the FCL Mets.
An impressive stat line:
9-G, 1-ST 2-1, 1.93, 18.2-IP, 27-K
This season for St. Lucie:
14-G, 3-0, 3.04/1.07, 47.1-IP, 57-K
Final for Wednesday night:
2.2-IP, 5-H, 1-ER, 1-K, 1-BB, 1.59
BABIP
Yeah, I know we all know what this is and what end result number is a good or bad one, but are we just faking here and trying to look kewl?
Well, there is a new feature article on Prospect Live that tells you the three factors needed to get a better BABIP and examples of players and their exit number.
Entitled: BABIP Is A Skill
KEVIN HERGET
This is one of those great examples that, well,, ya just never know.
We talk all the time about first round picks that never make it to the majors. Well, what about the guys like Mike Piazza that drafted in the millionth round.
31 year old RHP Kevin Herget was drafted in the 39th round of the 2013 draft, out of mighty Kean University in New Jersey.
So, the Cards draft him and he plays eight minor league seasons, ending this year with a stint with Tampa Bay.
Guess what?
He was called to the majors by the Ray's as a possible spot starter.
God. I love this game.
DIVISIONAL THOUGHTS
Hell of a division, ain't it?
Going forward, I just don't see the Phillies being a problem. We seem to match up well against them while, at the same time, put out a better mound presence.
As for the Braves, we need more partying followed by DUI checks in that town.
No, seriously, right now, they are playing better ball than even Baltimore (boy, this sentence would have been a real nothing burger last year).
The best way to deal with this is to play .750 ball for the rest of the season. .700 just may not be good enough.
MORE BATY
This has got to be the easiest person to like since David Wright.
If I was the Mets right now, I would be conservative regarding the healing and return of Eduardo Escobar. Even to the point that his return would only be just prior to the playoffs. However, I would welcome back Luis Guillorme as my UT-IF-1.
Baty's highest exit velocities were both hit against a lefthander proving no platooning is necessary here.
No, the closest this kid will ever see Syracuse again is as a flyover on the way to Montreal with his fam for vacation.
Nice on Colon. Just put on 80 pounds and a multi-decade career is guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteI need BABIPuates to read articles like that.
Her get is 5 years older than my current “old guy favorite” Bryce MDO.
Read this -pretty sickening…The Dodgers already had what was quite arguably the best starting rotation in baseball this year.
Dustin May’s electric 2022 debut on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium -- 476 days since his last Major League start -- proved that even the best can get better.
In his return from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in May 2021, May baffled Marlins hitters over five scoreless innings of L.A.’s 7-0 victory. May struck out nine -- one shy of his career high -- while limiting Miami to a walk and one hit, all of which came in the first inning.
Baty needs his buddies with him…start with the U.S.S Destoyer Vientos. Launches bobs.
Would sure like to see more Baty hits today.
DeleteBombs Thanks, auto-incorrect.
