I believe the projections were very high on his development arc. Body type, feel, lack of pitching experience etc... to show a lot of progression.
. Seriously though..it's a good read. And I hope I'm not detracting from THIS site. I just know some of you love prospect talk.
who is Kendy Richard.. and good grief those K numbers
Never heard of him until looking at this game log, so maybe Deester has some details on him.
I watched the fourth inning of his start last night. That’s when it all kind of fell apart for him when he got close to 80 pitches. But he was throwing a slider and changeup, both getting whiffs. Fastball was only 89-92. Kind of surprised his K numbers weren’t higher in the FCL though.
He was part of the 2024 international class but older at 19 than other members of the class (maybe he was just being honest about his age). Just looking at the two-dimensionals his K numbers aren't eye-popping, but I will leave it to Deester (that should be a new baseball scouting show for Braves' fans: Leave it to Deester, starring Hugh Beaumont, Barbara Billingsley, Tony Dow, and Deester as the Deester) to provide live analysis.
OK 50, I haven't stopped laughing since the disappointment of the trade deadline. That was funny. As for Kendy, I did see him (not nearly long enough) but he was so non-descipt that I barely have any notes on him other than he's got a good build and a thicker body to me. (Rayven Antonio-eque). A slider and changeup is correct and some pitches I saw would have been deposited into orbit. That doesn't say much at that age and level, but that's all I had on him.
