Almora's still hitting but he's stopped walking. Just one over his last 74 at-bats.

From CubsDen
"17 year old Jose Albertos was the most impressive pitcher on the day, sitting at 94 and flashing a plus curve.  Albertos has been tough to hit but what made the difference today was exceptional command as he struck out the side in order.".

A lot of kids can touch 94 occasionally, but that is quite different than being able to "sit" at 94, especially for a 17 year old.  The Cubs may have something interesting here.

Thanks, Dave, that's great news, thanks for sharing the note.  Your point is very well taken, "sitting" and "touching" 94 are totally different.  If he's "sitting" at 94, and throwing strikes there, that is really fast.  For most kids, a 17-year-old throwing 94 with a plus curve would seem like a big prospect.  I wonder what kind of frame he's got.  A lot of tall lanky guys, you figure further projection ahead.  (Bryan Hudson, for example.)  A guy with a frame more like Tseng, or Fernando Valenzuela, maybe not much projection left.  Still, maybe "stuff" projection isn't necessary, just control and consistency?  A lot of big-league managers would love to have a guy commanding a 94 fastball and a plus curve.

It's interesting how few good Mexican pitchers there have been lately.  In the 80's, there was not only the great Fernando Valenzuela, but Teddy Higuera for the Brewers also had some fantastic seasons, a couple of ERA+ seasons of 156 and 162.

Jose Urias for the Dodgers should be up soon.  Maybe Mexico is starting to produce guys again.

If it is a hitting update, does the catcher's stole base percentage affect the grade?

How does a LFer go 7 for 15 with a HR and get a D+ for the week?
