Beautiful swings we're seeing on these videos, and he's lined out an awful lot as well. Might not have 35 HR power? Have you seen what the juiced ball has done to baseball fathom?

July 21, 20196 yr More time that passes, the more I get excited. This year has been about watching our prospects improve and it seems like that is exactly what’s happening. I liked Stiever when he was drafted but never expected him to start out so good. He is exactly the type of prospect we need to reach his potential since pitching is where we’ve had some issues lately. Hope he finishes exactly like he started.

July 21, 20196 yr For the record, me, @ChiliIrishHammock24and @DirtySox were on the Stiever bandwagon before it was cool.
July 21, 20196 yr 9 hours ago, Sox Fan In Husker Land said: He can really drop in that hook. Also, some great catching there from Skoug.
July 21, 20196 yr Not in the greatest fielding position as he finishes his delivery, but nasty stuff. Some fastballs at 98 are easily hittable, his seems to be more dynamic, crisper somehow.

Man I struggle to follow pitchers until they become a known thing. Not sure I follow a single kannapolis pitcher. Had no idea Andrew Perez had like a 40% k rate down there
July 21, 20196 yr 15 hours ago, Perfect Vision said: Could be Stiever's last game at A+. 40 dominant innings. 45 ks to 8 bbs. I would promote him now when he can still get 7-8 AA starts. Can someone explain how his A+ numbers are twice as good as his low A numbers? 16 hours ago, fathom said: two comments: - Stiever is our best healthy, active pitching prospect - Vaughn might not have 35 HR power, but he's going to be a doubles machine.

Truly wild with Kopech and Cease up, Giolito and Lopez up, and Dunning shelved Think Vaughn definitely still has 35 HR potential

But the Kanny defense was pretty bad, though that wouldn’t account for so many more hits now. His peripherals were good in Kanny just saw worse results, but maybe he found something his last few starts before promotion that propelled him in A+
