Could someone please post some of the details on the Schaum story for those like me who don't have access to Instagram?

Adamczewski 107 off the bat, 388 feet to right center

Not comparing on stuff or pitches, just overall K/BB/HR profiles. All younger reliever types who have shown the ability to get strikeouts and not walk too many people in the minor leagues. I agree that Kerkering has shown a lot more promise in the majors than Yoho at this point.

The Southern League HR/PA last year was 0.018. This year, it is 0.03, about 1.75 times easier to hit a home run. ISO is up about 1.5x this year. Burke is a good example since he was in the league both years. His 0.07 HR/PA last year was 4x league average and ISO 2.5x league average. This year his home run rate is only 2.5x league average and ISO 2x league average. Fischer and Ragsdale are both about the same (though not accounting for sample size which is fairly low for both of them).

Nate Lavender (Mets), Welinton Herrera (Rockies), Andrew Nardi, Josh Ekness (Marlins), Franco Aleman (Guardians), Mason Fluharty, Javen Coleman (Blue Jays), Jose Fermin (Angels), Anthony Nunez (Orioles), Marc Church (Rangers), Orion Kerkering (Phillies), Jordan Leasure (White Sox)

Agreed, well said.

This will probably be the last update about the site, but I've given it an official URL and will be updating it as time allows. https://www.prospectwavelength.com/ I'm quite proud of the visualization designs, especially the Positional Chromatogram, which is meant to mimic a paper chromatography experiment. I've also included a Teams section and reverse lookup and have more ideas moving forward. Hopefully someone out there gets as much fun out of it as I have had looking up current and former players. I've also submitted a Firefox add-in where it is possible to highlight a player's name and look them up on the website.

Thanks! I imagine I'll bump up against the new one eventually too, but maybe at that point I can delete some old ones. Is there a way to embed an image by only linking to it, so that it shows inline? None of them are on any social media posts.

Is this a hard requirement? I've hit my full quota of attachments for life which seems pretty restrictive at 125 MB. You can now buy flash drives that barely protrude out of the USB slot that are 1000x that capacity.

Honestly his strikeouts aren't too concerning at this point, since he's so young for the level and the Midwest League average strikeout rate is already over 23%. Adjusted for age and sample size, he's actually right around league average. But if he keeps a 30% strikeout rate into the Majors, he's probably going to struggle. A couple of players to compare: Chad Hermansen vs. Danny Tartabull to see the range of possibilities if K-rate stays too high in the majors. Also Cody Bellinger struck out 28% of the time in A+ as a 19-year-old. https://www.prospectwavelength.com/player?dataset=hitter&id=815520 As for Adams, Bitonti, Burke, Fischer, Adams holds up as the only RHB and has the best strikeout rate/OBP, and is performing already at AAA. Burke seems a tick ahead Bitonti on both K and BB rate with similar power. Fischer's power is so impressive he feels like someone you have to hold onto.

The pitch went right off of his glove side forearm as he was reaching for a wide pitch.

Detmers should have been a Brewer 3 years ago, but the Angels franchise seems to be operating with different motivation than much of the rest of the league.

I think there was an awesome diving catch by Adamczewski in the bottom of the 9th in the left-center gap, but the TV announcer said it was made by the right fielder, so I guess that's not what I saw.

I can't tell if the Chattanooga broadcaster is endearing or enraging. Doesn't know right vs left field, how many strikes a batter has, how to say any of the player names of even the players on his own team.
