No. It's the cheapest talent available. Eduardo Herrerra had a rough 1st year last season, and this season, he's OPSing .975, and will most probably graduate to the ACL next year. Frank Mieses is a 17-year-old CF OPSing .869. 

Are you sure, Eddy?

Yes. The guys we're talking about were higher bonuses, but if they have a full scouting department working 4+ countries and Puerto Rico, they would be finding multiple guys for tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses that would advance.

It's tough to get excited.  The last few top international signings have not done very well. The latest was Alajandro Cruz.  I don't understand the economics here.  Has any team just walked away from the International Market, at as far as financing a team in the DSL?

Up until very recently the Orioles never did anything of significance in the INTL market.

Interesting study just published on the 2021 scouting event in the DSL.

For the pitchers 93% had some rotator cuff pathology, 76% had Labrador pathology. 82% had UCL abnormalities. 70% had elbow osteophytes, 12% had non-union in the medial epiphyseal plate. 6 % of pitchers had complete tears of the UCL, 24% had partial tears.

 

These kids are really pushing themselves just to get to these scouting events and are coming "pre-injured" to teams signing them.

I wonder if this is the reason that pitching doesn't seem to come out of the DR at the volume that hitting seems to be.  Very interesting either way.

Is there a similar US college/High School study?

I haven't seen one on the US combines. US has many more legal issues with reporting medical data.

A lot of these INTL deals are made when the kids are 12/13 years old.

This was being talked about during todays win against the Rays during the game and on the post game show. Also on the CHGO podcast . Apparently he is 12 years old, 5'7" 140 lbs.
