Kadon Morton got off to about as bad of a start as possible in the GCL, but he's had a good 8-10 games. Just hit his first professional homer, and it was to the opposite field.
 
NL East


Atlanta Braves

No. 34 overall prospect Ian Anderson remains in a race to be crowned the 2019 Minor League strikeout king, and he gave himself a boost in July, fanning 34 over 25 1/3 innings for Double-A Mississippi. He now has 147 in 111 innings on the season (all with the M-Braves), tied for the most in the Minors with Skubal (mentioned above in the Tigers section). What's more, his 1.78 ERA in July was his lowest of any month in 2019, and a big reason for that was Anderson's improved control. The 21-year-old right-hander issued only four walks in 25 1/3 innings, despite entering the month averaging 4.5 BB/9. With three above-average pitches in his fastball, curve and change, Anderson has the pure stuff to feature near the top of a rotation some day, and if he can keep up this level of control, he gets closer to reaching that ceiling. -- SD

Above average FB, CU, CH?

How likely he gets a September look? Not very, right?

I selfishly want him to, but it obviously wouldn’t be very smart for a number of reasons.
 
I want to see Anderson get a September start just to give us the data on his pitches. A single ~80 pitch outing will give us enough to know quite a bit.

Maybe it happens in an effort to rest the MLB starting staff late in the season.

My only issue with it is using up a 40-man spot going into the offseason when we have four prospects that need to be added for Rule 5 protection -- Pache, Contreras, Davidson and de la Cruz.

Martin, Blevins, Tomlin, Swarzak, Keuchel and Joyce roll off the 40-man. Donaldson and McCann too, but I'm guessing they will try to bring those two back.

Where did you see Pache must be protected?

https://www.si.com/mlb/2018/12/13/rule-5-draft-explained-major-league-baseball

"A player must have signed when they were 19 years or older and played professional baseball for four years are eligible. Players who signed at 18 and have played five years are also eligible."

This is why J2 players "sign" at age 16, but aren't assigned to an affiliate until the next year to maintain another year of roster protection.

Pache "signed" as a 16 year old in 2015, but didn't go into affiliated ball until 2016 to start his MiLB clock. This is his 4th of 5 seasons before he must be protected if I understand the rules correctly.

It’s on his Fangraphs profile. It says December 2019 at the top: https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa916722&position=OF

That’s ridiculous. That’s too early to me. Pache has gradually improved. There should be at least another year.

I truly hope we give a lot of kids their shot this September, given it’s the last time the rosters will be expanding in September. Might as well get as much as we can out of it.

What you have outlined is how I have always understood it, but there may have been a rule change to put international signees on par with those from the U.S. Right now, it's 4 years for post-19-year-olds and 5 years for pre-19-year-olds for the states with the clock starting right after they have signed. It used to be that the clock didn't start for either international or domestic signees prior to their entry into competition. Teams used to hold off on putting a guy in rookie ball until a year after he was drafted in rare instances to forestall starting the clock. They may have changed with the move from 3 years and 4 years to 4 years and 5 years, but I'm only spitballing.

Lots of tools on that GCL team. Throw out the W/L for them. It's all about development.
 
Kyle Muller exited tonight's game after 3 pitches in the 1st inning with an injury to his landing leg. He gave it a try, but exited the game.

The part of me that loves data would agree, but I really don’t see the club benefitting from doing this.

I hope indeed it’s just his leg. He should be shut down until it’s 100%. Last thing we need is him altering his throwing motion to avoid pain.
