He’s actually someone I’ve seen play for a while now. Saw him in college while I was getting my masters.
Always liked how long he has his bat in the hitting zone. Allows him to cover well vs LHP and generate nice power for how short he is, and that’s a big reason he’s put up some real nice swings vs LHP so far.
But he pops on the field. Fast as hell. Covered a ton of ground in right center earlier in this game and was flying on his triple.
But man. Hentges threw a couple sliders to Daniel Murphy that gave Blue Jays players Andrew Miller ALCS flashbacks. He is filthy, everything he throws moves a ton.
I have liked what i have seen of Daniel Johnson so far!
Is it odd to you that Krieger was playing third? I didn't see anything about him playing a new position this off season? I know he has been playing the OF, but his arm strength was always a question mark hence why he was at 2nd for a long time.
Karinchak just hit 100 on a few guns
I feel him and Sandlin could get some MLB playing time this season if injuries/the bullpen struggles! How was Karinchaks control looking today?
Any chance he plays for the Tribe this year?
It's like a 10% chance in a sense. He will likely have this year between AA and AAA and next season is when he could make the roster, but injuries and/or struggling MLB players could move him up sometime this season. I agree with AZ_ that next year will likely be his shot, but seems like all the tools will be there for him to make it to the pros in the next year or two, just up to him to get it all together.
If he was right handed he would actually have had a chance to make the ball club this season since we lack RH bats in general.
