The 5/0 K/BB still isn’t great, and we’ve seen him destroy Spring the past 2 years, so it’s hard to really buy back in. He went 2 for 3 on the day and now has a 1.529 OPS with 4 homers in 17 PA. I love the dingers where the outfielders barely even move because it’s so obvious. Jarred Kelenic SEA, OF, 23.9 – Kelenic hit a truly jaw dropping homer to deeeeeeeeepppppp centerfield off an elite pitcher (Devin Williams). He’s a buy coming off his decent but unspectacular rookie season. All signs are pointing towards a big year 2, especially with Detroit bringing the fences in. He also destroyed a 417 foot opposite field homer on Friday. Riley Greene DET, OF, 22.6 – Greene’s crushing the ball this spring, going 1 for 3 with a 109.5 MPH lineout off Tyler Mahle and a 106.5 MPH double off Pablo Lopez. Overall, it was an impressive first outing which clearly showed off his upside. The sweeper, cutter, and forkball were all working, and here is an overlay of the fastball/forkball combo which shows how much of a nightmare it will be to face this guy. He also struggled to find his control in the first inning. The fastball averaged 97 MPH, but it only put up a 10% whiff% on 10 swings, and got hit up with a 93 MPH EV against. Kodai Senga NYM, RHP, 30.2 – Senga made his much anticipated debut and went 2 IP with 1 hit, 1 ER, and a 2/2 K/BB. At least they seem to be rolling out the red carpet for Ezequiel Tovar (.912 OPS in 17 PA). You know what you’re getting into when you own non elite Rockies prospects. They signed the washed up vet so he can block three solid prospects in Elehuris Montero, Nolan Jones, and Michael Toglia. Mike Moustakas COL, 3B/1B, 34.6 – The Rockies went Rockies. Let’s hope this truly isn’t a window into Painter’s future, and we hear today that it is no big deal. He still has huge stuff, but after getting crushed at Triple-A in 2022, he has a lot to prove to regain his once elite pitching prospect status. He got hit up for 4 hits and 2 ER in his first 2 inning outing. It’s a gift and a curse.įorrest Whitley HOU, RHP, 25.7 – Speaking of the Ghost of Christmas Future, some of Whitley’s control problems popped back up in his 2nd spring outing, going 2 IP with 1 hit, 0 ER, 1 HB (hit batter) and a 1/1 K/BB. I grabbed Painter in a Mock First Year Player Draft last off-season for Baseball Prospectus and wrote, “My plan is to sell him when he hits his peak on prospect lists, and before he goes all Forrest Whitley on us at Triple-A.” It brings me no joy to have seen the future. You know what you’re getting into when owning a pitching prospect. This is like when lion and tiger tamers get attacked by the big cats. Painter felt elbow tenderness following his Wednesday spring debut and we are now awaiting an update.
