94-98 / 101 I was too low on Meyer before the draft. I saw him up to 101 mph in his first start of the year when he threw a lot of well-located sliders in the 89-92 mph range and struck out several Oregon Ducks. But his stuff and command waned later in the outing, which gave me relief-risk concern, though I should have realized the context for the look (it was his first outing of the season) was likely at play. He proceeded to dismantle TCU (10 K in 5.2 IP), North Carolina (CG, 1 BB, 14 K), and Utah (8 IP, 15 K) in the following three weeks before the shutdown, mostly with the fastball/slider...

share-square-748398 There’s long been a desire to attract more athletes to the sport of baseball, and for good reason. Watching those with premium athleticism roam the outfield or the basepaths can be exciting, and many of the top stars in Major League Baseball today would fit on a list of elite athletes. Athleticism doesn’t just mean pure running speed, though that’s a big part of it, but can also include other tools on the field, from bat speed at the plate to arm strength in the field. You’ll see a lot of them playing up-the-middle premium positions, which is why so many of the top...

March 17, 2021 Below is an analysis of the prospects in the farm system of the Detroit Tigers. Scouting reports were compiled with information provided by industry sources as well as our own observations. As there was no minor league season in 2020, there are some instances where no new information was gleaned about a player. Players whose write-ups have not been meaningfully altered begin by telling you so. Each blurb ends with an indication of where the player played in 2020, which in turn likely informed the changes to their report if there were any. As always, we’ve leaned more heavily ...

50 The Giants’ dusty, tightly-confined backfields abut a gym with the sort of athleisure-wearing clientele you’d expect in Scottsdale. In January of 2019, when most baseball facilities across the country were dark, just feet away from oblivious Peloton riders and tennis-playing retirees, a few lucky scouts and media folks had a religious experience watching the sweetest-swinging teenager on Earth absolutely roast balls fed to his barrel by a high-speed pitching machine. Because of how close you can sit next to the field there, you can feel the sonic force of bat-to-ball impact radiate int...

share-square-1833036 GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Last week, outfield prospect Heliot Ramos made it clear that he felt he was ready for the Majors. “I wish I could play in the big leagues in April,” Ramos said. Ramos, who is the No. 3 prospect in the Giants’ system per MLB Pipeline, backed up that belief on Sunday, launching his first two home runs of the spring to help power the Giants to a 9-4 win over the Reds at Goodyear Ballpark. The 21-year-old from Puerto Rico is still likely to open the season at Double-A Richmond, but he flashed the tools that suggest that he could be in the big leagues ...
