scotty22hotty Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 fangraphs has Iriarte as the padres best pitching prospect. 61 overall... but neither made keith laws list. O's still could've easily beat this trade but meh time will tell I guess this thread was a fun one😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 3 minutes ago, WhiteSox2023 said: Balta may still be right as well, no? Thorpe is #85 on MLB’s top 100. DIllon Head or DeVrieze 50/50 one of the remaining 3 names... Iriarte as the #8 in their system should be just off the 100 mark...as DeVrieze as the #1 international signing was listed as #99 in some of the update lists, so think 100-115/20ish range for Iriarte. And Balta certainly didn't predict FIVE players going for Cease, either. All depends on these other three names, though. Likely pushes the White Sox system to the #12-15ish range, in all likelihood.

Chicago White Sox Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Thorpe is currently BA’s 58th overall prospect or the 15th highest ranked pitching prospect. I get wanting one of their even higher regarded arms (I really wanted Snelling), but let’s not pretend like he’s some fringe top 100 type. Iriarte was #92 overall on the 2023 list and is a consensus top 10 prospect in a really strong system. Need to see the rest of the package though.

chitownsportsfan Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Give his expected surplus value two top 100 guys for Dylan plus some filler sounds about right. We'll have to see how the filler looks in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) So BA has Iriarte as a breakout potential pitcher. Posting for the non subs. He sounds fun. Quote Jairo Iriarte, RHP, Padres: There are few pitchers in the minors as athletic as Iriarte. He’s an explosive thrower with a direct, explosive downhill delivery. Iriarte reached Double-A in 2023, making seven starts among his 13 appearances. He struck out 40.5% of batters he faced over 29.1 innings. While his command was fringe, it’s reasonable to anticipate some improvement in that area as Iriarte repeats his delivery well. He mixes a four-seam fastball and slider predominantly, slipping in a changeup and curveball infrequently. Iriarte’s fastball features a cluster of strong traits including plus velocity, flat vertical approach angle, 6.9 feet of extension and a 5-foot-3 release height. These traits allow Iriarte to throw a high rate of fastballs but still miss bats and fool hitters. Iriarte’s slider is a hard mid-80s slider with between 8-10 inches of sweep. The pitch had a 48.7% whiff rate in 2023 with a 38.1% called+swinging strike rate. The two-pitch nature of Iriarte’s arsenal makes him a relief risk and he’s been limited in his exposure as a professional after the fourth inning. In this way, Iriarte is not that dissimilar from the Dodgers’ Emmet Sheehan entering 2024. Edited March 14 by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
