like the Org Bush came from that pushed a 20 year old to AA and skipped A+? I don't think challenging players is the problem this board thinks. It's just a thing we can tangibly point to. The problem to me is we don't prepare them at all for each level or progress them with better preparation.

I win the pop up arm thread

A profile we truly had nothing close to in the org.

…87 PAs. Who is he stealing time from exactly?

He has the 8th best wRC+ on our roster and is about to return.

He actually should be back soon. Trayce loves us.

nobody gives huge hauls becasue you ate money as you gave them the worst starting pitcher era in baseball

He is pretty handsome if you were into that nicky delmonico look.

10. Nick Nastrini RHP Ht: 6'3" | Wt: 215 | B-T: R-R Age: 23 BA Grade/Risk: 50/High Track Record: Nastrini arrived at UCLA as a top recruit out of San Diego’s Cathedral Catholic High and grew into premium stuff as he gained strength and maturity. He entered his junior year with the Bruins considered a potential first-rounder, but he suffered a horrendous case of the yips and was dropped from the rotation by April. The Dodgers decided to take a shot on Nastrini’s raw stuff and drafted him in the fourth round in 2021, signing him for $497,500. He rediscovered his control and composure under the Dodgers’ instruction and flew up to Double-A in his first full season in 2022. He led the Dodgers’ system with 169 strikeouts and limited opponents to a .178 average, third-lowest in the minor leagues. Scouting Report: Nastrini is a physical, 6-foot-3 righthander with power stuff. His fastball sits 94-95 mph and touches 98 with above-average ride and extension that helps it play as a borderline plus-plus pitch, especially at the top of the strike zone. His short, vertical slider in the mid 80s flashes above-average with late drop below barrels, and his fading mid-80s changeup is an average pitch that is more consistent than his slider. He added an 80-83 mph power curveball late in the year that is fringy now but has a chance to improve with more development. Nastrini has a polished, repeatable delivery, but he tends to be too methodical in his tempo and mechanics, leading to below-average control. He is best when he works quickly and lets his natural athleticism take over on the mound. The Future: Nastrini’s loud stuff and improved control give him a chance to be a No. 4 starter if he can maintain his strides. He will open 2023 at Double-A and has an outside chance to reach the majors during the season. Scouting Grades: Fastball: 65. Curveball: 45. Slider: 55. Changeup: 50. Control: 40

I'm laughing about thompson, but Nastrini is BA's 10th prospect on the dodger 30

lmao

maybe there are no names.

man KW someone fax bobbo the return

i'm also a wroblewski boy. WE're gonna have to rock paper scissors this

officially lynn and kelly

wait rosenthal is still including kelly, everyone else just saying lynn?

nightengale getting scoops makes me think KW may in fact be riding in on a horse.

i'm not touching you normies

ok well sherman throwing caveats

would be shocked if it didn't. Rosenthal stuff like this typically means it's done. My guess: justin wroblewski and jose ramos. But the perfect hahn get would be Jonny LeDuca, 25 year old 4th outfielder. He's probably champing at the bit.

wait is there a forum he can't enter without permission like a vampire?

I may move zis to ye olde PHT for some great analysis

Every pitching instructor in this org has to go.

For the Hahn apologists: the guy has been here 11 years… could you name me one operation he oversees that is top 10 in baseball?
