No thread yet to discuss what for me is the best (healthy) pitching prospect in the system.
For 2024 he's striking out 38.7% of batters and walking a mere 8.4%, for an xFIP of 2.95. Scouting reports seem to be glowing as well, both by this site's staff and the industry writers.
He's giving up a lot of homers though, so not sure if there's a flaw in either pitch shape, command or just plain bad luck.
Think he'll be moving up in the next promotion chain, even with a relatively low 29.1 innings in A+ so far.

Those K-rates usually are indicative of staying power |

This is probably a dumb take but here goes: while I love that Sandlin can throw that hard I kinda think he should intentionally dial it back if at all possible until reaching the majors
The extra velo can’t help his elbow

29 walks in 104.1 minor league innings - or close to 2.5 BB/9 - while throwing 100 🥰

I was genuinely upset that he was ranked over my guy Yorke but now that Nick is history I'm going to put my love for Nick in David 😆. Let's Go!!!!

Petition to change the thread title to "Enter Sandlin" instead of "Enter the Sandlin" 😄

Fwiw, in numbers I've seen, Hoppe and Perales hit 99. Also Zeferjahn is on the list and while I'm not sure if the 100.9 was in this org, he hit 100 pre-trade. |

If that were true in Abner's day, the mound would be greater than 60'6" from home plate. Pitchers were smaller as a group then too so the extension was less as well. Team batting averages have declined and strikeouts increased likely in part to pitcher velo gains. MLB batting averages in 2000 were .270 and strikeouts 6.45 per nine. This year the average was .243 and strikeouts at .848. Should consideration be given to moving the mound back a bit? |
