Ok those numbers don't make sense to me.  He has a near major league average exit velocity against all of these pitches, yet has awful BABIP and even worse batting averages, but hard hit percentages near 40%.  It looks like he is above MLB average of around 35% there.  Can you explain the discrepancies?

No. Actually those numbers make me wonder if he's getting bit by the babip bug.

So then it's just a BABIP issue and not a velocity issue?

If it's BABIP it should normalize like it recently did with Quero.

The arms they have added through trades, plus a guy like Grant Taylor sure helps.

Potentially relevant in Mariners trade packages.

Not good for a guy with his skill set.

Kanny beat the Barons to securing a playoff spot.

They have the 3rd best team ERA in the minors at 3.03 (the Barons are 1st at 2.76). 

Grant Taylor was transferred from the 7 day IL to the 60 day apparently, know he was out with a lat strain.

Doesn’t seem super serious but rehab takes forever. It sucks

Just a bummer more than anything.  He needs some real innings and this obviously slows down that build-up.  But glad to hear it’s not overly serious.
