    MINORS FINAL 7/16: Heart Delayst Pick's Debut; Grosser 1-hitter!



    Tanner Krietemeier was one of the most experienced of the Braves' 2014 draft picks

    From MiLB.com:

    Tanner Krietemeier finished his college career and was ready to jump right into a professional opportunity after the Atlanta Braves drafted the first baseman in the 23rd round out of Oklahoma State. He arrived in southern Virginia set to play for the Danville Braves when suddenly the brakes were applied. A standard medical exam revealed an irregular heartbeat, so his physical activity was halted.

    "I really didn't know what to expect," Krietemeier said. "Not being able to do anything was pretty rough. It's very draining, especially when you want to get out there and start."

    Krietemeier, who had made college stops at Nebraska and Iowa Western Community College before landing at Oklahoma State, didn't need another roadblock. After Oklahoma State was eliminated in the NCAA Super Regionals his senior season, Krietemeier, 22, figured there would be no hesitation once he landed a professional gig. Instead, he was a spectator with the Danville club for almost two weeks before playing in his first game.

    "A lot of it was just watching and getting to know all the routines," he said. "Knowing I couldn't play wasn't too much fun. After I was cleared, I had to go through some conditioning."

    The layoff didn't appear overly troublesome in terms of production, because he began his career with a five-game hitting streak that included three doubles and five walks in his first week of action. Danville manager Randy Ingle said he knows it had to be difficult since Krietemeier was anxious to start a pro career.

    "He had a little bad luck," Ingle said. Ingle said he likes the way Krietemeier responded when he finally made it into the lineup. Not only was there offense, but he supplied a ninth-inning defensive gem -- in his first game in the field -- that allowed the Braves to keep the lead in a victory against the Burlington Royals.

    "I was just happy I got a glove on it and made a play," he said of a shot hit by second baseman D.J. Burt.

    Krietemeier had been an outfielder until becoming a first baseman as an Oklahoma State junior.

    "I'm comfortable there now," he said.

    Still a month and a half to go, but who would have thought in April that Camargo's and Victor Reyes' stats would be as close as they are.

    Nice win for Rome today. They've done some overhauling of the pitching staff and that should help things in the W/L department.

    The way these things go, next year it will be Lynchburg's turn to take it on the chin in the pitching department.

    Amen to that thought. We are awfully thin in the lower levels right now in the pitching department. When you take into account that a large portion of our staffs in Rome, Lynchburg, and Mississippi are comprised of independent leaguers and guys released by other organizations, a case can be made that what used to be our strength in player procurement and development--pitching--has really dipped the past few years.

    Of course, Chris Diaz and Matt Povse will probably start in Lynchburg in 2015.
