Polar Bear Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Borrero with another hit. I know the power has come yet but I think his play so far has been among the most impressive by a Sox prospect this season. Hits now in 15 of I believe 18 games after missing out on playing in the DSL bc of injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 😮 Holy smokes. Haven’t kept up with ACL as much. Quezada has big power but he has been striking out a TON. Strikeouts in 24 out of 42 PAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Mena day! Easy first inning. Weak grounder to 3B, popout to 1st, and a strikeout on what looked like a changeup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Mena cruising through 3.0 IP. Little to no hard contact. 28 pitches 22 strikes. 2 strikeouts so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Colson walks. On base streak continues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 One thing I've noticed Mena do today that I haven't noticed in the past is vary up his timing. At least twice today during his windup he will bring the leg up and pause much longer than normal before delivering a pitch. Unsure how common that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 2 more K's in the 5th for Mena. Some very nice offspeed that inning. The Dash announcers picked up on Mena switching up his timing as well. Noted the delay and deliberate pauses in the windup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Darn. Mena done despite a low number of pitches. Looked great. 5.0 IP 2 H 0 R 0 BB 5 SO. 62 pitches. 45 for strikes. 10 swinging strikes on the evening.

Lillian Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) 1 for 2 and a walk, and a RBI. Has anyone in Colson's draft class gotten off to this good of a start, in their pro career? He is really impressive. That has to be the longest on base streak in professional baseball, this season.

Goldschmidt had a 46-gamer. Nice streak for our guy. Hope he stays with the organization the next few years and we get to see him on the south side.

DirtySox Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Colson adds another RBI single. Opposite field. Off a lefty. Edited July 5, 2022 by DirtySox 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You framing it in those terms caused me to do a little bit of digging... of course we all know Montgomery has had an incredible season so far, but he's 18th in all of the minors in wRC+. Your guy Neslony is actually 21st, lol, but I digress... I think for best start amongst hitters from the '21 draft class it'd be between Lawlar or Montgomery. Lawlar's overall batting line is a bit better, but he had an extra weeks worth of games to beat up on complex league pitching (he also destroyed Low A and was promoted to High A today) whereas Colson's extra week of games so far has been in High-A. But the fact he's even in the conversation for best start from his draft class, one of the best hitters overall in the minors, etc is just so damn impressive. The guy seems to be a hitting machine. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Eloy 2 for 4 today, 2 singles and a GIDP. Looks like he played the full game in LF. Do not know if they were GB singles or hit over the infield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 When you consider that Montgomery was devoted to basketball, in high school and played in Indiana, where the weather is not conducive to Spring baseball, it suggests that he is still pretty raw and inexperienced. If this is how he looks now, who knows what he might become? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the White Sox have notoriously drafted hundreds of multisport stars since the KW regime.

Anderson is the rare exception. My point was that Colson is performing much better than the raw athlete, I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Robert started in Kanny, I think Sanchez probably would have as well if not for 2020's covid year, but him and Cespedes were older than Chapelli. A-ball is likely but I'd say Kanny is most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
