It was pretty bad last year. The Mariners minors Twitter site said they wanted him to improve his plate discipline before being promoted to high A. And he's improved it and proven to be too good for that leagueGL_Storm wrote: ↑Sat May 21, 2022 1:00 amPerez's k-rate is up to 25%, which is okay for the level but not outstanding. But a few weeks ago I ran the numbers for the whole team and he was at 21% I believe, and at that moment in time was about 5 percentage points below most of the rest of the team, that were all striking out like crazy. But I should have known not to trust small sample size like that without going back and checking.

Evan White is 0-6 w. 5 K's.
Glad he's changed.

This is one of the best posts I have read on this forum.GL_Storm wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 10:03 pmThe speculation with the Baseball Prospectus guys is that Kelenic can't pick up spin on breaking balls, especially low in the zone. One piece of evidence they trot out is that literally every report they had on him in the minors mentioned an unusual amount of swing and miss on breaking balls low in the zone, but everyone (including them) ignored that issue because his hit tool overall was thought to be so strong. What's less clear is if this is in fact the underlying problem, can it be fixed or at least mitigated to a sufficient extent?Sexymarinersfan wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 2:37 pmHe's going to be down there awhile. I think he needs to hire a sports shrink.
I DO NOT believe for one second that JK just needs a mental breather and to start having fun again. I think that is the very definition of spin from the Mariners.

Seems Kelenic had a nice game. 3 for 5 with a double. 2 K's again though.
I would offer him a $1 million bonus if he could successfully not K once over a 10-game span.

Re: Mariners minors. Thread for interesting news and stats.
Well he didn't quite make it. Struck out 3 more times yesterday and now has 15Ks in 29 PAs. Over a 50% K rate..........in AAA. That is worse than Garreth Morgan.Seattle or Bust wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 3:58 pmSeems Kelenic had a nice game. 3 for 5 with a double. 2 K's again though.

Looks like Morgan is out of baseball. Finished with 840Ks in 459 games. One of Jack Zs RH power hitter fetish guys. 2nd round pick in 2014.

Edwin Arroyo and Bryce Miller are shining so far. And now Emerson Hancock is back on the hill, taking the ball every 5th day. So we got that going for us, which is nice
