May 6, 20223 yr https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2022-05-06 We have some potentially ugly weather in the North Carolina region, so some of these games could be questionable. Davis Martin making his first Knights start after having a very solid start to the season in Birmingham. Let's hope he can keep it up and be a possible Keuchel alternative.
May 6, 20223 yr Author Fangraphs on Davis Martin if you missed the prospect list. Quote 22. Davis Martin, SP Drafted: 18th Round, 2018 from Texas Tech (CHW) Age 25.3 Height 6′ 2″ Weight 200 Bat / Thr R / R FV 35+ Tool Grades (Present/Future) Fastball Slider Curveball Changeup Command Sits/Tops 55/55 40/45 50/50 30/30 40/45 92-95 / 97 Martin had two consecutive seasons of strong peripherals (a roughly 25% K% and 7% BB% combined in 2019 and ’21) while he also ran an ERA over 5.00. He’s sitting 93-94 mph and touching 97 as a starter, his fastball has carry at the letters, and he has two fair breaking balls that play pretty well off his fastball. His feel for location is not as good as his raw walk totals might make you think, but the shape of his fastball gives him margin for error in the strike zone. He’s tracking like a spot starter. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/chicago-white-sox-top-28-prospects-2022/ Edited May 6, 20223 yr by DirtySox
May 6, 20223 yr Oh nice. He’s always been a boom bust guy with a lot more boom this year. Here’s hoping he found something this year.
May 6, 20223 yr Author W-S delayed start due to weather too. No Yolbert tonight for Charlotte. Colas still out as well. Edited May 6, 20223 yr by DirtySox

May 6, 20223 yr Author Martin a bit all over the place in the 1st. He's shown the curve, changeup and obviously the fastball. Gave up a hit and walked a guy but out of it unscathed. For those wondering, his fastball readings (according to the gun) have been all of 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, and 96. But not in that order. Edited May 6, 20223 yr by DirtySox
May 6, 20223 yr Author Kelley can't find the zone. Walks a guy. Then finally finds the zone and gives up a HR.

May 7, 20223 yr Author So Kelley struck out a dude with a nasty changeup. He then gave up a monster bomb.

May 7, 20223 yr Author Not going to venture into the major leauge gamethread tonight. But holy hell I can't stand watching Gavin Sheets do anything.

I do agree about Dalquist being fine in the long run though with patience. I wasn't which is why I was happy they used a 2nd on him instead of a 1st but you still have to give all these guys time. The low minors are developmental leagues. You don't know what they're working on that night so it's not fair to just look at the stat line. Let them develop and figure things out.
