Hopefully we sign him in a year. Can’t let a little thing like “age” get in the way of a 96 MPH fastball.

Hope we continue to pursue the kid, if the info isn’t damaging.

Thanks for doing all the numbers research, azru!

Shame about Serrano; it’s a pretty deep system for pitchers…but there’s no such thing as enough.

I’m too lazy to look it up, but I wonder if Carson Kelly is the youngest player with the most homers. He just hit his sixth.

Yes, and Manny Machado is only 17 days younger.

Here is some other leaderboard fodder:

– Silfredo Garcia (now at JC) leads all domestic Rookie leagues in FIP for qualified pitchers – 1.35 (43K/0BB)

– Breyvic Valera leads all A- leagues in hits with 46.

– One further point on Colin Walsh; he leads all of A ball in wRC+ with 174. Anthony Garcia is second in the MWL in OPS with .908. Colin Walsh is first with .995.

– Mike O’Neill has the highest BB/K (3.05) in all of the minor leagues, A ball and above.

– Maikel Cleto has the 2nd highest K% in the PCL among those with > 30 innings.
