The box scores are back. No trade talk in this posting. Thanks.
GCL Phillies won 7-2.
* Altherr with 2 hits, now at .304, and stole his 10th base.
Williamsport lost 4-3.
Check below for the rest
Lakewood lost 5-4.
* Brody Colvin gives up 4 runs, but again none of them are earned. This is pretty amazing stuff. 9 runs in his last 3 starts, all unearned.
Clearwater won 6-1.
* Jesus Sanchez – 5 IP – 0 ER – 2 H – 0 BB – 5 K. Nice.
Reading lost 4-1.
* Garcia was 2/4, now at .314
Lehigh Valley won 12-8.
* Schwim gets the W, Bastardo gets the SV.
* DomBrown goes 1/5
Aaron Altherr is a beast. I know the GCL is significantly lower level than the NYPenn, but I wonder if he could perform better than Hudson at that level. Hudson must have showed something in extended spring, but Altherr with 2 hits seemingly every game, is hard to ignore.

Both Bonillia and Altherr will be promoted to Williamsport. I will leave it up to the board experts to reason why as I have not seen Williamsport play. Living in Florida I have seen GLC Phillies play and both are standouts. From what I saw Altherr has wheels, can swing it and is smooth in CF. Bonillio has a live arm and keeps it around the plate.
Phillies are also going to have to do something with Murry. He is 23, older for the league but is tearing it up in the GCL. In the few games I saw he stands out from the rest. Very strong, power and hits to all fields. Plays first but was working out in the OF. Maybe time to see what he can do at a higher level.
As good as Bonillio looked the pitcher that most stood out to me was Manzanillo. Lefty, athletic, throws very hard and is effortless in his delivery. Ball moved all over the place and I do not think he could throw it straight if he tried.

Franco has some pop, struggles with footwork at third but has absolute hose for an arm. If he cannot improve at third or the plate he has the arm to be a potentially a very, very hard throwing righty.
Namato is in the same boat. Smaller kid, slight build and is trying catching for the first time. The heat alone must kill him but man can that kid throw. I have no idea how a kid that small throws that hard?
Overall it funs to watch the GLC, make my own predications on potential and see what happens.

Williamsport website in game article says Kyrell Hudson is “making great strides in his second professional season’ and describes a couple of great running catches and all. Seen him, arm a + , (known) very athletic, looks like he will hit. They may still add Altherr at WPT anyway , due to the Michael Dabbs promotion to LKW due to the DL injury to Leandro Castro. They have 3 OF’s already who I believe will continue to be regulars, but there is opening for Altherr to work in with them and also DH. Unless they continue to not catch Cameron Rupp (possibly for injury reason) and DH him. Rupp has improved as hitter. Other than that there seems to be DH/OF opening.
GCL- Steven Malcolm playing regular and starting to hit some. Campaign to move up Christopher Duffy and Patrick Murray both 1B/DH types so far. Maybe they switch with the more polished and experienced at higher College level Jeff Cusick, but I don’ t think that. Maybe they are trying Murray in the OF to move him to the OF/DH opening in WPT. Maikel Franco and Chachee Numata are both 17, I think Numata is 6’2 170 from recollection, and would not say small but taller and slight of build, and maybe he adds weight with age and staying with Catching. They seem to find him an AB every game, and with 2 other young catchers there, none of them gets alot of work in total as yet.
CLW- seems to be openings in Reading’s rotation now with J. Sanchez and Austin Hyatt seeming to be main candidates to go up. THen perhaps a couple of moves up from Lakewood, if only one I say Joshua Zeid.

Looking at the recap from the Lakewood game, Colvin did have a rough first inning, at one point giving up four hits in a row followed by a walk. However, he then settled down for the rest of his outing. It’s nice to see him be able to deal with adversity.
Harold Garcia is an example of why I love following the minor leagues. He was not even in the top 30 at the beginning of the year, but now we have a 23-year-old 2B in AA with a .417 OBP. Only 51 ABs, but he’s working his way up from “future utility infielder” to “future starter on a second-tier team”. He’s starting to remind me of Jason Donald, though JD had more pop (JD’s 23-year-old year was at Reading and he hit .307/.391/497). Hopefully Garcia can continue to improve and maybe go from “future starter on a second-tier team” to “future starter on a contending team.” One can always dream.
Jesus Sanchez has had some very encouraging results. I’m sorry if I’ve missed it before, but does anyone have some scouting info on him? Velocity, repertoire, etc.? However, his strikeout rate is low and his FIP is 3.94, suggesting he’s benefitting from the FSL’s tendency to dampen HRs. Plus, can a guy who’s 5’11” and 160 stay a starter?
Finally, I asked once before but I don’t think anyone answered – what’s the deal with Derrick Mitchell? This is his sixth year, he’s 23, he hasn’t shown much in previous years, but he’s hitting in the middle of the Threshers’ lineup. Any reason the Phils continue to like him? One has to think he is nearing the end of his time with all the young OFs coming down the pike.

Mike77 – both Altherr and Bonilla are going up to Williamsport. Why not test them a little – no harm no foul.
Numato is listed a 6′ and 175. I stood next to him and I think those numbers are a stretch but he only 17. My guess was 5″10 and 160.
Marfis – I saw a big difference between Murry and Duffy in the field and particularly in the plate. Maybe its that an aluminum bats are a separator from wood and Murry handles a wood bat extremely well and is not fooled by off speed stuff. Good point on your OF comment for him.

Thanks gatorhater for the observations. Manzanillo may be the biggest surprise for me on the pitching. We know about Bonilla from the DSL. I do worry that his results are due as much to his polish as to his stuff. He may be more of a reliever at the higher levels of the system. Manzanillo, on the other hand, is much less polished and his success is far beyond what he achieved in the VSL. He had a 5.03 ERA and little command last year. It looks like they tried to get him innings as he was in the rotation much of the year. That suggests that he had better stuff than his record would indicate.
From your post it looks like that is true. Lefties with decent velocity and movement can get better in a hurry once they learn a little command.

(repeat from late post to previous day)
BostonPhan, Skunky, PP: Please educate me on BABIP and LD%. I really don’t read deeply and extensively about these two stats, only what I see here. Here is my current understanding:
–BABIP can be a measure of luck, but does not necessarily reflect 100% luck.
–LD% is straightforward, just a measure of how many of your batted balls are roughly on a line, compared to grounders and fly balls (balls judged to have significant arc and hang time). So it’s part of the measure of how often you are hitting the ball hard (many ground and fly balls are hit hard too).
So my confusion is this:
1. If my LD% goes up, that means I am hitting the ball way better, right? The recent article on Rizzotti, for example, reported his grueling workouts over the winter and desire to give this season everything he had, knowing he did not have a lot of window left as a prospect. His physical improvement and confidence seem to have made him a far better hitter. That’s just my intuitive understanding.
2. When LD% goes up, BABIP should go up. Again, that’s intuitive, not rocket science. So when BABIP goes up a lot as a result of LD% going up, that would seem to cancel at least some of the luck factor. In fact, if LD% went up a lot, and BABIP went down, stayed the same, or went up only s little, would not that be a measure of bad luck?
3. When LD% goes down, stays the same, or goes up just a tad, and BABIP goes way up, that’s a clear case of luck.
Anyway, what’s wrong with my intuitive understanding? It doesn’t seem to jibe with comments I see here at times.
Thanks in advance.

LD% should always be referenced when bringing up BABIP. BABIP gets thrown around in arguments in irresponsible manner too often. LD% helps determine whether the average is really luck or a function of the player’s skill. David Wright and Ryan Howard always have high BABIP’s and LD%, because they hit the ball hard.
LikeLike
DD,
Not addressed to me, but I’ll take a stab at it. I think you’re basically right, but some caution is needed even when there is a sharp increase in LD%.
In Rizzoti’s case, and I’m just eyeballing it here (is there even a source for minor league LD% data? I’d love to hear from someone with some actual data), the increase in BABIP is SO high that it (a) can’t be explained entirely or even mostly as a result of increased LD%, and (b) likely isn’t sustainable at that level. With regard to b, I don’t think there are many if any examples of players who can sustain that level of BABIP, and the few that come closest don’t tend to fit Rizzotti’s skills profile (i.e., they tend to be fast guys with even more extreme LD tendencies).
Now, I don’t think that ANYONE is arguing that his performance this year is entirely a fluke. Just urging caution, and arguing that you can’t throw out ANY data, including his performance in prior years.
In terms of comments you see here, I think there are a few things going on. Some people indeed don’t “get” the relationship between LD% and BABIP; others don’t emphasize it because they (mostly correctly) think that most of the time for most players it isn’t a huge factor in BABIP (i.e., most players maintain roughly the same LD% profile, and in any event an increase of (say) 10% in LD% would not cause (nearly) a 10% increase in BABIP.
LikeLike
Diamond Derby – I’ll take a stab at answering some of your questions (others can probably do a better job).
BABIP is a very complicated subject. Overall, BABIP varies much more between batter to batter than pitcher to pitcher. Basically, batters have some control over whether a batted ball becomes a hit while the pitchers have very limited control. In the battle between pitcher and batter, a pitcher can control whether they walk the batter, whether the batter makes contact, and the type of batted ball (GB vs. FB) but not how hard or where that ball is hit, while the batter has the most control about whether a ball in play becomes a hit. ** That is we use BABIP with pitchers to point to a player getting lucky or unlucky while BABIP is typically considered a skill for batters.
However, due to the nature of BABIP there will be large fluctuations over small sample sizes. That is why if we see a batter drastically change their BABIP from their previously established level, we may think they are getting lucky. But, as you point out in the case of Rizzotti, the change in BABIP is accompanied by a change in LD% an underlying skill so I would hesitate to say that Rizzotti is getting lucky. What I would say, is that I’m not sure the increase in LD% is sustainable due to it being so out of line with his previous batted ball history, not that he is getting lucky with his balls in play.
If you’re interested in this subject, I suggest you check out the link below for a much more in depth discussion including comments from Voros the guy who came up with the theory that lead to the popularization of BABIP as a tool (DIPS theory).
http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/files/newsstand/discussion/simon_gary_cohen_doesnt_understand_derides_sabermetrics/
**The subject about how much a pitcher can control BABIP is still being sorted out. For most (90% or so I think) pitchers BABIP will fluctuate around .300 regardless of skill (Halladay career .294, Eaton career .301). However, it has been shown that high strikeout pitchers and pitchers with one “trick” pitch (Rivera, and knuckleballers) have lower BABIPs than normal. This shows that while pitchers can influence the quality of contact made by the batter just that for most pitchers this skill is so small that is is overwhelmed by normal statistical noise (luck) and therefore we have no way of knowing actually skill levels.

Mike77,
People do indeed misuse BABIP data – on both sides of the debate.
As to your specific point, I’d agree with you if that data was generally available. It isn’t, at least for minor leaguers. What I see SOME peopel do is to just ASSUME that an increase in BABIP MUST be caused by increased LD%, without having data to support it. Which is, frankly, worse than ignoring LD% altogether.
Howard does indeed have a good BABIP, which is a matter of talent, not luck. But it’s “only” .329 for his career. The players who are able to sustain substantially higher BABIP numbers tend to be (a) really fast, and/or (b) have extreme LD%s. (See, e.g., Tony Gwynn, .341, Ichiro Suzuki .357). Power hitters may have decent to good LD%s, but not extreme percentages.
LikeLike
You have to have points of reference for BABIP as with most stats. Either the league average, or a player’s historical average or something. If there is an aberration in BABIP from the norm with all else equal, that’s when you might hypothesize luck is in play. A guy starts hitting more line drives, then generally BABIP goes up. Defense changes things as well (think about the shift against Howard) or injuries (see Ibanez’s second half last year).

I would add here that, even though I don’t think Rizz is going to be a star, he doesnt HAVE to sustain his BABIP at his current level to be a good or even very good ML hitter.

The fact that I think he isn’t going to be a star, and that as a 1B/DH he likely doesn’t have a future as a Phillie, doesn’t mean I don’t like him a lot as a player.

LarryM, you can get LD% for minor leaguers at minorleaguesplits.com. Here’s Rizzotti: http://www.minorleaguesplits.com/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?pl=447832
My point from my post yesterday was that Rizzotti’s LD% is significantly higher this year that in his previous three years in the minors (22.5% vs. 13.5%, 14.2%, and 16.6%). This seems unusual for someone in his mid-20s playing against better pitching. So the question in my mind is how sustainable it is. The more at bats he gets, the more we can trust that this is his new LD%. That’s why I have one foot on the bandwagon and one foot off. There are also some other reasons to remain cautious on his performance that I mentioned, but LD% is probably the most important one.
In my post I did say that LD% and BABIP are related, but perhaps I should not have presented them as two separate reasons to withhold judgment on Rizzotti. Sorry if that was misleading.

Thanks for the link. Interesting stuff. Interestingly (and not surprisingly) his LD% is lower in Reading, 20.9%, than it was in Clearwater.

Thanks, all for the informative answers. I have a better understanding now. Good explanations and pretty consistent. So here’s my view on Rizzotti now, equipped with my new wisdom:
1. There is still probably some luck and plain old “hot hitter” factor in his current performance. It’s difficult to believe a guy goes from a so-so minor league hitter to a .350 hitter. If he could “level off” between .290 and .315 for the next 10 years, I think we’d all be ecstatic.
2. However, anecdotal info can also be mixed in. See this article:
http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/high_school/baseball/red_hot_rizzotti_rips_it_up_in_reading_3CPNA2bbwZ3ByOhOHirOzL
Key quotes:
a) “[He] came into spring training in the best shape of his life, thanks in large part to his work with Joe Stolzer, Manhattan College’s strength and conditioning coach. ‘He changed everything, made me mentally tough for anything,’ Rizzotti said. ‘If there’s a big prospect on the mound that’s been shoving it the whole season, I’m up there thinking I ran stairs for 40 minutes straight one day, me hitting a fastball shouldn’t be too tough.’”
b) “He’s continually getting better, he’s learning to utilize the whole field and he’s hitting for power,” Reading manager Steve Roadcap said.”
That tells me two things. 1) he changed his physical makeup drastically. And 2) as a result, he developed a much higher level of confidence. It’s not a stretch to speculate that someone who handles FBs better and is more confident can wait longer (also reported that Rizzotti waits very well on balls, like Utley) and significantly improve plate discipline, resulting in swinging at more balls that can be driven.
Anyway, that’s the optimistic view. The caveat is, yes he has definitely moved up a plateau, maybe two rungs up the prospect ladder. But can he sustain that by force of character and discipline through his career? And can he adjust when pitchers find a new achilles heel? Those will be the things to look for.
Note: here is another very interesting quote from the article:
“He’s vastly improved since he got here and he vastly improved at first base, too.” (aslo from Roadcap)
