Kenny Powers Verified Member Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 Spring games are over. I know Spring Stats don't mean much. But we all still look at them because what else is there to look at until the real games start? I found these three guys who put up impressive Spring numbers and I didn't know much about any of them: 1.) RHP - Scott Blewett: This Spring he pitched 6.1 innings with 9Ks, 2.84 ERA and 0.79 WHIP. His fastest pitch topped out at 98.1 mph. He is soon to be 28 years old. Looks like he spent most his career as starter. Could this be the next Brock Stewart? 2.) 2B - Jay Harry: This Spring he had 5 hits in 9 ABs which is good enough for a .556 Ave and 1.223 OPS. He's only 21. We drafted him last year as a SS and finished his first year (two levels) with a .339 BA and .902 OPS. Yet, he's not on any prospect lists I've seen. 3.) CF - Willie Joe Garry: This Spring he had 5 hits in 14 ABs which was good enough for a .357 BA and .795 OPS. He's soon to be 24 and a 2018 draft pick. His minor numbers are not impressive over all. But he did flash after being promoted to AA last year (.813 OPS in 106 ABs) It will be fun for me to follow these guys to see if this was false hope or possibly the start of a break out season? jorgenswest and Althebum82 2
FlyingFinn Verified Member Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 Harry - Unless he's the 2nd coming of Luis Arraez, (doesn't strike out and hits for average) he will probably follow in the footsteps of Ernie Yake (recently released) and Dalton Shuffield. They yo-yo up and down the minors at different levels, wherever needed. In the end, not enough power or speed and he's probably limited to 2B and they end of being released after a successful minor league career. Garry - if he could ever get his bat going, he's got some skills in other areas to move up. Blewitt - don't know anything about him except just his name scares me if we bring him in with a lead.
