Mark Gone-ha?

A Boy Named Seo Jul 31 2023 04:09 PM

Per Will Sammon at The Athletic, Canha shipped to Milwaukee. No deets anywhere yet.

Furious googling of Justin Jarvis has commenced. #30 ranked prospect on the Brewers. Tall, lanky right-hander. Decent year at AA - 102 Ks in 87.1 IP. MLB's bio: Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Curveball: 45 | Slider: 50 | Splitter: 55 | Control: 50 | Overall: 40 Ranked as MLB Pipeline's No. 199 Draft prospect in 2018, Jarvis went to the Brewers in the fifth round out of the North Carolina prep ranks and signed for slot at $327,100. He dwelled with Wisconsin, both as a Single-A and High-A affiliate, for the 2019, 2021 and 2022 seasons before joining Double-A Biloxi for four games last season. Back with the Shuckers for '23, the 23-year-old right-hander is in the midst of a breakout campaign and was Milwaukee's Minor League Pitcher of the Month in April after striking out 29 batters over four starts (23 innings). Throwing from a high arm slot, Jarvis has picked up a little velocity in the spring and sits around 93-95 mph with his four-seamer, but what makes the pitch play up is its invisiball nature with incredible ride up in the zone. (It's worth noting that the Southern League's pre-tacked ball could be affecting Jarvis' heater traits.) He's added a low-80s splitter in the last two years that fades nicely, giving him a south option off the northern fastball. His low-80s slider flashes above-average with good vertical and horizontal break, while a mid-70s, looping curveball offers another offspeed look. Listed at 6-foot-2, 183 pounds, Jarvis needs to work the edges of the zone, because if his command falters, hitters have a history of punishing him when he catches too much of the plate. (His 19 homers allowed were tied for most in the Midwest League in 2022.) There's a deep enough arsenal and starter-quality control to feature in the back end of a Major League rotation, if he can hold these pitch characteristics with a more standard ball at the higher levels.

I'd like to know more about the differences in that "pre-tacked" ball used in that league and specifically how it might make his current repertoire look better than it really is. (e.g.-Does it improve spin on the curve? Does the ball add/detract from his speed on the fastball?) Variations like that can make judging his upside more difficult. Aside from that: - He is Rule 5 eligible following the 2023 season, meaning the Mets will have to put him on the 40-man roster to protect him. - Does this mean McNeil will move to the outfield full time? Baty? Does this mean Mauricio will be recalled soon? Something else? Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter. Later

I liked Canha, he was a good dude who rose above the bullshit

MFS62 Jul 31 2023 05:14 PM Re: Mark Gone-ha?

One of those "good guys to have in the locker room". And it seemed like he deserved those comments. Later

His “big league foodie” account on Instagram was must follow. His support for LGBTQ community was honest and appreciated Good luck to a good guy

Later Unless they also trade Pham, Canha's departure doesn't really create an everyday role for anyone once Marte is healthy.

Seemed like a good guy. Willing to do whatever he could to help the team. Could play both corner outfield position and in a pinch could step in and play either third or first base. Smart, heady player. A good 4th outfielder, not such a good starting outfielder. I wish him well.
