Has he moved into top 10 prospect position in our organization?

 

Oh, I have no idea, but he is surely one of a handful of pitchers we have that exploded this year. We don't have many very encouraging hitters this year, but for the most part, pitching has been great from a lot of young guys.

Heidenreich has been on fire this year, honestly I think he probably has more upside than most, if not all, of our pitching prospects. (even more upside than Homberg, before he got traded away)

 

I agree, but that's because, at least in my mind, he is only 19 years old and is showing such great command and strike-out ability. Rienzo is really impressing me, but Heidi is doing it at such a young age, it's exciting to think of him possibly making it to the bigs around age 22.

Let's not get crazy now on Heidenreich. Rookie ball numbers without some kind of track record or glowing scouting report are relatively meaningless. Hitters at that level will swing at anything, making the BB/9 a little less impressive, and hitters at that level will swing at anything, making the 6.85 K/9 completely unimpressive.

Which is why I used such cautionary words like "think" and "possibility".

He's definitely got a ways to go, but at least he has shown a lot of progress from a year ago.

Heidenreich is going up to Kannapolis after his next start in Bristol. He's not happy about it, was looking forward to only having one more start left in the season ..he says his arm hurts!

 

Someone needs to sack up.

I'm a little concerned about us sending a guy whose arm hurts out to start more games.

 

Has he told anybody his arm is sore?

 

 

I'm not certain if he has or not ..I can find out though.

 

I'm sure they probably know ..Chase said Heidi threw an 81 mph fast ball the other day ..if it hurts so bad that he's dreading going up, I'm sure it's noticeable. You would think so anyway.

How hard does he usually throw?

Yikes. They are trying to build up his arm, but still.

A lot harder than 81 I'm sure. He's not a knuckle-baller.

Well, obviosuly. I know there were some reports of him hitting 95 on occasion around the time of the draft but that he was usually more 88-91.

I'm more concerned with his lack of enthusiasm about a promotion.

 

Well, it's only a promotion for 1 game, so it's really not a big deal anyway. And if he is burnt out in the arm and thought he only had to push through 1 more start, then I can understand him being bummed that he has to pitch in 1 extra game.

also agreed.

 

I can see him being tired and just wanting a break, that's understandable ..but at the same time, it's just a little bit longer, suck it up Heidi and get your ass out there and play some damn baseball!
