DirtySox Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2022-05-06 We have some potentially ugly weather in the North Carolina region, so some of these games could be questionable. Davis Martin making his first Knights start after having a very solid start to the season in Birmingham. Let's hope he can keep it up and be a possible Keuchel alternative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Fangraphs on Davis Martin if you missed the prospect list. Quote 22. Davis Martin, SP Drafted: 18th Round, 2018 from Texas Tech (CHW) Age 25.3 Height 6′ 2″ Weight 200 Bat / Thr R / R FV 35+ Tool Grades (Present/Future) Fastball Slider Curveball Changeup Command Sits/Tops 55/55 40/45 50/50 30/30 40/45 92-95 / 97 Martin had two consecutive seasons of strong peripherals (a roughly 25% K% and 7% BB% combined in 2019 and ’21) while he also ran an ERA over 5.00. He’s sitting 93-94 mph and touching 97 as a starter, his fastball has carry at the letters, and he has two fair breaking balls that play pretty well off his fastball. His feel for location is not as good as his raw walk totals might make you think, but the shape of his fastball gives him margin for error in the strike zone. He’s tracking like a spot starter. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/chicago-white-sox-top-28-prospects-2022/ Edited May 6, 2022 by DirtySox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Oh nice. He’s always been a boom bust guy with a lot more boom this year. Here’s hoping he found something this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Martin a bit all over the place in the 1st. He's shown the curve, changeup and obviously the fastball. Gave up a hit and walked a guy but out of it unscathed. For those wondering, his fastball readings (according to the gun) have been all of 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, and 96. But not in that order.

With all due respect to him and Dalquist, they need to prove to me I should care about following them closely again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree about Dalquist being fine in the long run though with patience. I wasn't which is why I was happy they used a 2nd on him instead of a 1st but you still have to give all these guys time. The low minors are developmental leagues. You don't know what they're working on that night so it's not fair to just look at the stat line. Let them develop and figure things out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
