    Pretty sure he was one of the speculated ones.

    Yeah based on Pache’s defensive profile I’d guess that would make him at least a 4 WAR player. That would be among the best case scenarios. The question should more be if he puts up a .650 OPS how will people be able to deal with it.

    Love the fastball location from Anderson in that first clip. If he can do that consistently, he'll be amazing.

    The curve in the second video isn't impressive but it looks like more of a get it over breaker so it was wouldn't be impressive.

    Hard to say how accurate that 95 reading was, or how much his stuff ticked up in a short outing, but if 95 is legit and he can sustain it that's a lot different than the 90-91 we saw in ST.

    I've long since stopped listening to what scouting reports say about a pitcher, or looking at any MiLB stat other than BB rate. Until I see real MLB statcast data on Anderson I will assume his AA numbers are due to him being a good pitcher.

    Some Statcast takeaways from the game: https://www.mlb.com/news/futures-gam...ed-by-statcast

    "Atlanta's Ian Anderson and Detroit's Matt Manning each topped 7 feet of extension on their four-seam fastballs, which, as you can see, puts them in rarified air:" -- there's a graph in the body of the story that shows you how rare Anderson's extension is compared to big leaguers.

    "Others to hit the elite 30 ft/sec mark: Robert's Birmingham teammate Nick Madrigal, who hit 30.1 ft/sec on a fourth-inning groundout; Boston's Jarren Duran, who got up to 30.1 ft/sec on a groundout, and Atlanta prospect Christian Pache, who got up to 30 ft/sec, also on a groundout."

    length of extension? Is there work on this? I guess theoretically, it would make velocity play a bit faster?

    out of context, didn't realize the ft/sec was sprint speed. Thought it was exit velocity for a second. Should have made that connection based on the units though.

    According to this leader board:

    http://m.mlb.com/statcast/leaderboard#avg-pitch-velo

    Glasnow benefits from an additional 2.8 mph of perceived velocity on his FA due to his 7.6' of extension.

    The guys in the 5.2' area suffer a loss of perceived velocity of 2.1-2.3 mph.

    Anderson's ~94.5 FA was probably perceived as roughly ~97 mph last night.

    Now I'm off to find extension values for everyone...I expect Stroman to be #1 on that list.

    That's very interesting. Would have liked to seen this for Randy Johnson back in the day.

    Haha. Stroman #1. This joke is almost becoming David Letterman over used. But still funny.

    Um. His nickname should tell you everything about his extension. But yeah. He had to seem like he was handing the ball to the catcher I am sure.
