New Pro Jackets Progress

[FredJacket]

-Bart is batting .545 (6-for-11) through six games. [this spring]
-Bart is expected to begin the 2020 season in Triple-A Sacramento, but should make it to San Francisco for his big league debut at some point this year.
-The Giants are working with Bart this spring to improve his framing behind the plate. They want him to get under the ball when receiving pitches as he sometimes dropped catchable balls last season. His arm strength, however, is apparent.

Tristin English played at least 1 inning at third base in a big league spring training game today. He recorded an assist on a ground ball. He did not have a plate appearance though.

Tristin is a frickin baseball player. Put him anywhere.

Missed this but seems big. McCann made the A's 60 man roster and is in camp. Awesome.

Not a "new" pro... but looks like Sam Clay is grinding & maybe on verge of a MLB debut.

Kyle McCann considered Oakland A’s most promising future slugger

Kyle McCann is considered the most promising future slugger in the Oakland A's system. If he develops as hoped, he could be the A's next great power threat.

Looks like he made the most of those 25 plate appearances. Good luck to him.

Tristan English at AA Amarillo. He is a Sod Poodle. Lol (and hurt). Kyle McCann in AA Midland. He is a Rock Hound and walked twice in debut.

MLB.COM's 30 pitching prospects off to blazing starts: https://www.mlb.com/news/pitching-prospects-off-to-hot-starts-2021

Indians: Xzavion Curry, RHP (unranked on Indians Top 30)
A seventh-round pick out of Georgia Tech in 2019, Curry didn't make his pro debut until this spring because he had shoulder inflammation when he signed and the coronavirus pandemic wiped out the Minor League schedule last year. He's carving up Low-A hitters with the riding action on his 92-94 mph fastball, going 3-0 with a 1.07 ERA, .135 opponent average and 38/4 K/BB ratio in 25 1/3 innings.

Curry has been elevated to high-A and continues to dominate.

I had a habit of listening to Mets minor league affiliate games until COVID cancelled their season last year. Every once and a while, I'd hear a familiar name from Tech playing against the Mets club.

Tonight was the first time I listened to a Mets minor league game since at least 2019, maybe 2018. Caught Jon Boy pitching against Brooklyn. 4 2/3, 0 R, 4 H, 3 BB, 4 K's. No score into the 6th, so no decision. But a solid start for Hughes.

If so, I'd love to see him pitch in Cincinnati!

Yeah, my thought when the Braves took Waddell and JHM back to back was to try to get a hometown discount to be able to assign other pool money in other places. Could be wrong, but first thoughts.
