AAA four seam zone rate: 50.4% FSL four seam zone rate: 48.6% In terms of his age, I would say his control is around average though. Sweeper is his best swing-and-miss pitch and he's able to zone it as well, so the high usage makes sense. I'm sure the usage will tone down as he climbs through levels.

A friend of mine is kind enough to give me access to Lance Brodzowski's minor league pitcher's note. Highly recommend all the pitching nerd out there pay his substack a visit, as the free articles are also well written as well.

Baseball America: Owens is a 6-foot, 228-pound righthander who played a key role in UTSA’s first-ever super regional run as a do-it-all arm in 2025. He posted a 4.47 ERA with 100 strikeouts and 40 walks over 90.2 innings across 21 appearances, including 14 starts. Owens sits 91–93 mph with his fastball, touching 96, and generates solid carry up in the zone. His best secondary is a mid-80s slider, while his changeup and curveball are used sparingly, each under 8% of the time. Owens will need to refine his command at the next level and likely profiles as a professional reliever. (Tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to develop him as a starter.) Prospect Live: While Perry’s ERA rose by nearly a point from 2024 to 2025, his strikeout and walk numbers improved by a significant margin. He improved his strikeout rate from 18% to 23.1% and cut his walk rate from 13.% to 8.5%. Each of these improvements was sustained in the MLB Draft League, where he walked 3 and struck out 13 in 11 innings while putting up a much-improved 1.64 ERA. Perry’s got a good variety of pitches with a low 90s fastball, mid-80s cutter, low 80s change-up, and high 70s curveball. The curveball especially looks to be the best of the bunch, with excellent tunnelling paired with the fastball and a nasty late drop. He’s got elite extension as well at a little over 7 feet despite being just 6‘2. Like Niksch, his secondaries all possess good movement, but his rotation and overall potential heavily depend on the improvement of his fastball. Prospect Live Bonet is yet another guy who flashed his potential during the summer collegiate rounds. Although he posted a 6.08 ERA, Bonet struck out 19 batters in 13.1 innings, good for a 30.2% K rate. At San Jacinto as well, he showed his ability to get strikeouts, but immensely struggled with command, both at San Jacinto and at the MLB Draft League. His delivery is aggressive, and he may need refinement for fluidity in motion. He has a fastball that sits mid 90s with flashes of upper 90s with some tail as well. In the opposite direction, he also has a cutter that has some nice late movement and a low 80s slider. His breaking pitch will need more development to see sustained success, and his command will need vast improvement but his fastballs show the ability to be a reliable pitch from the bullpen.

From McCalvy's article, it seems like the area scout in Taiwan is staying with them to provide translation. I'll see if I can get Tzu-Chun's word in the offseason. His family stop by the Mandarin fanpage I'm running occasionally.

Possibly because of different ball from draft league, fastball ride is slightly less impressive in his 11 innings of work.

Sure move on from Ortiz and turn to a guy with worse underlying numbers both offense and defense wise.

IKF is just a luckier version of Joey Ortiz, but with a worse glove. Tbh I'll be extremely disappointed if that's the trade deadline acqusition. Also not sure why we're still using road numbers to evaluate Rockies' player performance, despite the hangover effect being mentioned time and time again as the ball move differently. McMahon didn't get moved in previous seasons because he specifically told GM he wanted to stay in Denver because of his daughter and wife.

Much appreciate for the recap! "twitchy" is an often seen term but I'm not entirely sure that meant. Is it ...hand quickness?

Latest farm ranking from BA 11. Jadher Areinamo 12. Brock Wilken 13. Marco Dinges 14. Braylon Payne 15. Eric Bitonti I wonder where our newest pick, Andrew Fischer, will slot in. My guessing is between Payne and Bitonti? Though I think he might have the highest offensive ceiling amongst them. Also I'm browsing through unsigned draft eligible players' name with -rowski just for fun. Then I found Ryland Zaborowski, who has the second highest ISO out of SEC behind only Fischer. Though he's on the older side of the class and there's some hole in his swings.

It's actually less fly ball to center as it is blue.

Andrew Vaughn's batted ball profile for the past few years. 2022 2023 2024 His batted ball profile is part of the reason why he always underperforms his expected stats. Since joining Nashville you can spot the approach difference. (Launch angle is not there yet though or ...maybe it's by design?)

Hardin is one whiff away from doing something funny today.

Since 5/11 Tate Kuehner is actually quite underrated, if he's able to limit the control issue from time to time, he's gonna be a contributor in the big leagues😉 👇Below is the qualified AA LHP in the same time span.

Latest eight start for Brett Wichrowski. Control is a lot better lately, and he is better than average in terms of generating whiffs(Whiff%/Swstr%). But the strikeouts are low because he struggles to put hitters away. 👇AA League RHP

Curves average over 3000 RPMs and 72% of them end up in called strike or whiffs, that'll play!

Not sure if it's being mentioned by others before, but it seems like Seigler occasionally switch to left hand side when facing LHP lately. But at 06/11, 06/17 he still batted from right hand side, I wonder if he's still experimenting to see if he will eventually ditch switch-hitting.

Same guy that tweeted this🤔

Full "X" thread at the tweet shown here, including video and some brief data - Remember when I said there were Brewers' scouts seen in Taiwan about a week ago? Two players signed with Brewers today, which would be the first time ever in franchise history that they signed Taiwanese players. The last time a Taiwanese player ever played for Brewers was Wei-Chung Wang from 2014-2017(Oops that one didn't end well...)

Additionally, here's some plot for visualization. Hayden Robinson As there's no release point or spin axis data to confirm it, not sure if the inconsistent shape is deliberate or not. Griffin Tobias Pitch tagging is a hot mess in this one, but he's likely in the three fastballs mold as well.

From three ACL games with statcast, ranked by age. It is nice to see that there's already a handful of kids(or specifically Handelful?) with gaudy max exit velo for their age.

A random news a week ago for y'all. So basically Brewers scouts were seen in high school baseball tournaments in Taiwan, my hometown. A little surprising to me cause Latin America was the main focus in international signings for the past few years. The last time they sign Asian talents traced back to 2018.
