Putting this up here for some chatter but Folty going 7.2IP with 8ks. Nice little start to his rehab. Leave him down there for another 3-4 starts and let him build on today.

Trey Harris continues to mash. Wonder if he can help in August next season.

why not July

Shewmake 1-3, 2b
BA = .444
Ops = 1.126

Why not just move him up? A ball pitching is less than sec Friday and Saturday

Anybody have any information on Brooks Wilson? He has done well this year in limited time and was only drafted last year.

From Talking Chops review last year:

7. Brooks Wilson, RHP, Stetson

While Wilson is a senior, he’s not a traditional “senior sign” type. In fact had Wilson been a junior, his talent alone would have had me saying he should be picked around this point in the draft. The two-way player- he also played shortstop and hit .307/.418/.469 with eight steals this year, is a potential relief ace.

Wilson was actually a starting pitcher up until this year and posted ERA’s of 2.90 and 3.01 in a solid conference in 2016 and 2017. He had solid but not spectacular numbers, and was even drafted in the 24th round by the Rangers last year.


Things changed this year when he moved into the pen, and allowed his stuff to play up. The results also played up, and he became a relief weapon and closer for the Hatters. His solid fastball and above average to plus splitter are tough for hitters, and while I can’t see him closing I can see him being that guy capable of working multiple-inning stints.

Wilson could move through the minors fast and provide the Braves a versatile relief weapon.

Chance of Signing: 100%. Wilson is a lock to sign because he has no other options. Also while he won’t be a $5k senior sign, he will be an underslot guy and the Braves can’t afford to lose that money. He won’t be a quick sign as Stetson is still alive in the NCAA Tournament.

I like leaving a guy just drafted at one level the whole year. He will probably start in AA next year either way.

Neslony

Did anybody actually SEE any of Folty's start?

The boxscore looks good, but I'm more interested in his mannerisms, reactions, etc. at this point.

Or if the slider had its old bite is really what I’d rather see

Didn't see it, but followed the Gameday (which is not as thorough as the MLB Gameday). I was surprised they let him start the 8th inning, and he hit a rocky patch, but they let him go one more hitter with two guys. He got the guy out and they turned to Winkler to finish the inning and the game. Foltynewicz did throw 105 pitches, so they may be trying to air him out. But, like you say, it's difficult to discern much from two dimensions. Getting him back on track would be (prepare for gross understatement) huge.

I'm with KB/MsState, move Shewmake up. Thanks for putting up his stats.

Yeah, Rome is too light for a guy whose hit tool is as advanced as Shewmake's.
