Going to see soroka tonight

Going to see soroka tonight

Damn you

[smootness]

If Soroka has another start or two similar to the first 2, then he's got to be a top 20 prospect in baseball, or at least top 30ish. You just don't do that in AA at that age. Urias pitched well there at 18 (though not quite that well), and he became a top 5 prospect.

Unless his performance falls off the table, I think he is a top 20 on the mid-season lists. Albies top 5. Allard top 30.

[chipchildress]

Soroka with 14 SO and 0 BB so far this season. lol

[Hudson2]

That's nuts lol. He could realistically start in Atlanta next season if he kept this up for most of this season.

[weso1]

Soroka with 14 SO and 0 BB so far this season. lol

I've seen some ridiculous K to BB ratios but it definitely is unusual to see the ole undefined expression as a pitcher's K to BB ratio.

[msstate7]

Damn you

If he has his worst start of the year, you know where to place the blame.

[bravesguy]

Should be a good pitching day...4 of the best pitching prospects (SSS so far)

Albers, 2G, 1.42ERA, 4/9 BB/K rate

Soroka, 2 Games, .77ERA, 0/14 BB/K

Gohara, 3G, 1.93ERA, 3/13 BB/K

Lawlor, 2G (only 6 IP), 0.00ERA, 3/11 BB/K

[msstate7]

Soroka 1,2,3

Radar had em low 90s

[CJ9]

Demeritte was in the lineup that was announced a few hours ago, but he wasn't in it when the game started. Hope nothing happened.

[msstate7]

Gotta a pretty good seat to watch soroka tonight

I thought soroka had more velocity than this. He's topped out at 92. Is this radar off?

Minor league guns are not reliable. But I don't honestly know how hard he throws.

Looks like reports vary, fangraphs and Sickels have him at low 90s, Keith Law says he can touch 96

[bravesfanMatt]

State, quick hook for birdwell. Something happen.

[msstate7]

No matter the velocity, he's effective. This MBraves' lineup is bad

[msstate7]

No idea. Gave up a hit and bam... he gone. No real explanation. Is he on pitch count or something? He was pitching well

Looks like he was AAA fodder that just got sent down to AA. He has only pitched out of pen and was probably on a short leash.
