FRIDAY MINORS FINAL 6/28/19; ANDERSON ANCHORS NO-HITTER!

[Enscheff]

14 Ks in 7 IPs is certainly attention grabbing.

Anderson is the one guy I most want to see real statcast data.

[Enscheff]

Yeah, but the scouting community hasn't soured on Anderson at all. So if that was the reason for concern with Allard, we shouldn't have that same concern here, no?

There has been 2nd hand statcast data revealed about Anderson that is less than stellar. It is fair to question how good the stuff is. Allard has terrible stuff and was able to get good results in AAA that fooled a lot of people, and once we saw MLB statcast data on him it was blatantly obvious he wasn’t good enough to succeed.

I need to see 80+ pitches of MLB data for Anderson and then I’ll have a very good idea of the type of pitcher he profiles to become.

[Enscheff]

Anderson might be a similar case to Fried in that his off speed pitches will make him who he is, not the fastball...

The 2nd hand statcast data suggests the breaking ball isn’t great. Take it with a grain of salt until we see data ourselves though.

I've read where some say his changeup has passed his curve these days. I'm with you, I want to see the data.

I projected him as a number 3 when we drafted him. I still think that's pretty reasonable.
