Defensive reviews of the left-handed hitting catching prospect skew vaguely negative. Rushing has followed up a wild 2022 debut with an impressive, discipline-forward performance. This season, Matt Olson leads the league with a hardest-hit ball of 118.6-mph. Among his most impressive traits are a 93.4-mph average exit velocity with a 118.8-mph max EV. To my eyes, he’s the most physically impressive prospect since Fernando Tatis Jr. Of all prospects in the minors, he has the least to prove. Were it up to me, he would be in the Majors tomorrow. A later debut for De La Cruz would ensure he’s under control through at least 2029. The timing of his initial promotion ensured he would be club-controlled through 2028 (a contract extension has since further extended the Diamondbacks control). He’s now on pace to handily win the NL Rookie of the Year Award. As you’ll recall, Carroll debuted in late-August and performed decently in his debut. Role playing as the Reds, there is a certain attractiveness to following the Corbin Carroll model. The decision is complex, made even more so due to new service time and draft pick compensation rules. I don’t have any special insight into the Reds thought process.
My recent fantasy chat included at least a half dozen questions about when De La Cruz will debut. That’s why he’s creeping towards Top 10 prospect status on many lists. At worst case, he looks like a high-probability strong-side platoon hitter. There’s concern he’ll struggle against left-handed pitching early in his career.
#HOOPS HYPE RUMORS HORNACEK PLUS#
Cowser has the athletic ability to stick in center field, but he could be a truly plus defender in the outfield corners. The club also has a partial opening at designated hitter which can be filled on a more permanent basis by Anthony Santander. Although replacement center fielder Aaron Hicks has played well in his absence, underlying metrics suggest Hicks is toast. Cedric Mullins is currently sidelined with a groin injury. He’s produced multiple hits in 14 of 39 games this season. Cowser returned to action over the weekend, going a combined 4-for-5 with two walks, a double, and a homer. When he hit the injured list with a quad injury in mid-May, Cowser was playing his way into Major League consideration. Let’s see if we can pull the trick two weeks in a row. But it’s not going to be, ‘Hey we need Carmelo by himself to beat this team we need Kristpas by himself.’ We need to make it a team game where all guys are contributing and all guys feel like they’re a big part of it and that’s how you win.Last week’s lead Big Hype Prospect, Andrew Abbott, is already on his way to the Majors. Those are two great weapons to have, we’ll use both of them. Or if they try to put a big guy on him, he can work his outside game. “If they play a small guy on him, we’ll work on his post up stuff or a way to get him the ball inside and dominate in there. We hope to put him in different positions to take advantage,” Hornacek said in an interview with “The Hahn and Humpty Show” on ESPN 98.7 FM. And then Kristaps, with his ability, his size, he’s going get better and better as the years go on.
And then other nights it’s going to be other guys. Carmelo’s a great player, he’s going to be able to get into positions where he carries us some nights. They’re going to be great weapons for us. Ian Begley: Jeff Hornacek was asked on Tuesday if he planning to use Kristaps Porzingis more in the offense, which would potentially mean fewer possessions for Carmelo Anthony.
