Felt appropriate to give our favorite former indy baller his own thread.
Penrod's profile has interesting upside. How much longer until we see him moving up to Worcester?
If he pans out, he could potentially provide age ~27/28-32/33 seasons on a rookie scale contract. I love late bloomers for this reason and hope he joins Duran, Kutter, Houck, etc. as the next late bloomer of the bunch.

Getting up to 97.7, seems like he’s adding velocity by the start

Made the BA Hot Sheet this week. Mentioned he’s averaging 19 inches of IVB on his fastball.

If he was 23 would he be a top 100 guy with his stuff?
He's pretty exciting imo

Looks like the majority of the Ks in above video on off-speed stuff and we're talking about a nasty FB. He's legit.

The Sox have a baseball movie on their hands with Booser already. If Penrod also made it to the bigs the same season?
Someone smarter than I can write the script and bring them together in the Sox bullpen or something.

Maybe Netflix is injuring all of the team’s pitchers to get Booser and Penrod up |

I just read Alex Speier's column on him that SP linked on the home page. The thing that stuck out to me was one scout saying he was by far the best starting pitching prospect on the Portland team. It is just one scouts opinion and likely not shared by everyone, but still pretty remarkable.

Could see him getting moved up with the Perales promotion Genuinely asking… is he the best starter in the Worcester rotation right now? He's going to be an interesting test case. Last year guys moving up from Portland to Worcester struggled. Obviously the team, to some degree, felt the pitcher dev group up there was at least partially to blame given that they replaced the coaches and brought in strong defensive catchers, but we'll see how much of it is ABS and the increase in talent level. But to answer the question I still take Fitts and it isn't close. |

Now that Penrod has graduated from intriguing story to actual prospect that could for real make it, one feels the need to point out that he has not demonstrated nearly good enough control to start games against major leaguers.
