Ready for Turley to make a leap in this off season. Would be great if Caraway did too.

Thanks for the list.
Finn Edwards didn't pitch his senior year in HS (injury), but was used as a DH instead. In WCL summer league, he's been used sparingly (3 single-inning appearances). No longer planning on OSU - instead a midwest jr. college, I heard.
Martin Serrano is on Ridgefield (WCL) roster but his summer action seen 4 games with the NW Stars, none with Ridgefield.
DeCremer just named to WCL South All-Star Team (game will be played in Bellingham July 17)

Good stuff Busy Beavers this summer. Big question - Where is Krieg this summer? Krieg has not logged any statistic in any major Summer League program. Unless he is someplace under-the-radar, it would seem that he is either rehabbing or is working to refine some specific skillset for Fall Ball. |

Trent 7 Ks, 6BB IMHO, OBP, SLG, BABIP and BB/SO are such important metrics for both player and team success that K rate alone has become less important. As a Beaver fan, I recognize I have been spoiled by a lot of high OBP and low SO success - we all know the power of the Kwan! Btw, this post intentionally adjusted to start with as many acronyms as possible. Gotta keep people awake during these long summer days! |

In 2010, we witnessed the "Launch Angle Revolution" begin - hitters sacrificed contact for SLG. Three years later, the "Velo revolution" began with 102 mph heat and 92 mph sliders. Is it any wonder we are seeing more punch outs than ever?
In 2023, the MLB K rate was 22.7% with the Astro's pitching staff whiffing 28.9 % of opposing hitters.
The number-crunching Analytics Departments will tell you strike outs are fractionally less desirable than a ground out or fly out, but superior to a DP ball.
The game has changed.

Not for the better (IMHO). Today's players are much, much better as a whole than those of the 1960s and 70s, the era when I became a baseball fan and knew almost every player on every team. No question about that. But games of that era, with half the strikeouts, were much more fun to watch than today's, with endless strikeouts and relievers. The Mariners and their endless parade of .220 hitters who strike out 40% of the time have become unwatchable. |

The number-crunching Analytics Departments will tell you strike outs are fractionally less desirable than a ground out or fly out, but superior to a DP ball. The game has changed. I understand that a ground out is only fractionally better than a strikeout. I do NOT understand how a ground ball isn't extremely better than a strikeout. A ground ball has a reasonable chance to be either a hit, OR an out. A strikeout has an EXTREMELY minimal chance of resulting in getting on base. I can agree that an out via fly ball or ground ball isn't much worse than a strikeout, but what is league BABIP? It's between 27 and 31%. Doesn't that mean that any ball in play is 27-32% more likely to be a hit than a strikeout? Different types of outs? FO=GO=K? Agreed, not much different. Different types of batting outcomes? FB>GB>>>>>>K. The math seems to check out to me, unless we expect any K that turns into a FB or GB = .000 BABIP. |
