Young Pitching Prospect Watch

Recommended Posts

Since we have so many potentially successful arms in our organization, I just wanted to devote a thread to keeping an eye on their seasons, stats, and scouting reports. I've just compiled stuff for the top young starters, not any of the bullpen guys. I will update this post daily, and you can feel free to comment on any pitcher's progress or if you know anything.

 

May 30th - June 5th Updates: A lot has happened since the last update. Thompson and Taylor were on hot streaks and both imploded last week, but I think they are both pitching tonight, so maybe they can bounce back. The good news is some of the top prospects who had been perfoming badly pulled together some good starts. Gaby went 6 allowing 1, while Volstad went 6 allowing 2. Tucker continues to improve and pitch very well as of late. Vandy's pitching with the big club tonight in the double header, so that will erase his MILB start, but he has been pitching very well for most of his outings since he has been in AA. Check the lines below...

 

Gaby Hernandez, AA; 2-6, 58.0 IP, 4.81 ERA, 52 K's, 24 BB, .259 BAA

Yeah, I will add ER instead of ERA in the most recent outing, but I'll keep the season ERA.

 

Yeah Sinkbeil did get rocked yesterday, but it was against some fantastic hitters.

 

Gaby had a fantastic outing as well as Volstad. Graham continues to absolutely attack the plate.

We drafted Graham Taylor last year (2006, 10th Round) out of Miami. He's a big guy at 6'4" / 210 and I am anixous to see what happens with his good start.

 

 

where Miami???UM?? i don't remember that name associated with the Hurricanes

 

Yep. Miami of Ohio. Sorry, forgot to clarify.

 

His stats are VERY interesting. I always look at HR/9 and K/BB ratio to judge the early development of an arm, and his both are outstanding and always have been. Last year he allowed .27 HR/9 and .55 BB/9 at Jamestown in 13 starts. Plus his main category stats were impressive (2.47 ERA and 0.96 WHIP at Jamestown). I know it's Jamestown, but even in college his highest season ERA was 3.83 as a freshman at Miami-Ohio. He continues to improve as his Junior/Senior year combined ERA was 2.89.

 

I'm excited for him.

Anyone got news on Sinkbeil... he hasn't pitched since the 12th.

I sent out some emails, nothing back yet

 

It's weird. He just disappeared and nothing was said. This has happened before with the Marlins PR and it worries me. When a guy misses 3 starts, without explanation... it never turns out well.
