▶️ The biggest out of the game Sunday was Seranthony Dominguez's domination of Daulton Varsho to get out of the bases-loaded jam in the 8th. This is nasty work.

▶️ Mariners No. 11 prospect Logan Evans with his second straight very good outing last night. Pretty good slider, limited fastball value and not much usage of a projectable third pitch right now, but let's watch the whiffs on the slide piece, K?

This still bugs me. 1. Rice is Baines-level maddening. Doesn't measure up. Every time I think of Rice I think of @keithlaw.bsky.social joking (sorta) 'Teh Fear' got him in. (LMAO) 2. Evans has a legit case, but got just half the vote from the Contemporary committee and that was that, apparently.

Been watching and looking at Luke Raley's 2024. We know he struggled vs LHPs, though he didnt get a lot of shots (82 PA), but the numbers suggest he should never be thrown a fastball in or near the zone, LHP or RHP. vs Non-FB: .190 AVG, .267 SLG vs. FB: .306 AVG, .628 SLG (these include vs LHP)

040

Jason A. Churchill @baseballthings.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

One of my favorite young players in baseball, Detroit Tigers OF Riley Greene, still needs to find better results ve breaking balls, vs both LHP & RHP, needs to mix his 23 and 24 facing lefties (avg+power, not one or the other), and he's a star. He's really close as it is.

▶️ Was expecting some official activity to react to, but regardless of anything getting done the next Baseball Things will be Saturday night.

Should be in, IMO: Ichiro Utley - best 2B last 30 years Also in on Russell Martin more than Billy Wagner. 11th all-time fWAR for primary catchers, ahead of Ted Simmons, Joe Mauer, Mickey Cochrane, Roy Campanella. Catchers should be viewed differently. Only 20 catchers in HOF.
