...and we are DSL League Champions.

That's great! At the lower levels, where we want a deep organization, it's a real step forward to get a whole team over the line. We've had a lot of discussion in the past 24 hours over whether or not our pitchers at the lower levels will add velocity and become serious prospects, despite not investing many draft picks/international bonus $ in pitching this year. This is a good indication that we're doing something right.

Heredia had a monster playoff. Fuenmayor was, I believe, un-scored-upon in the post-season. Bergolla started hot then slumped.

Agreed on Heredia.

Andy, how is the team from an age/prospect perspective?

andyb 2022-09-01 21:05:22 UTC #8

The Phillies were a little bit older than average for the league but not overly so, especially because having 2 teams will always lead to slightly older squads since you are keeping players in the DSL a bit longer. The White team was close to league average age on the hitting side and about 0.6 years older than the league on the pitching side.

Which makes sense for a championships team that is led by prospects like Bergolla and Heredia, but anchored by pitchers that are 19 instead of 17 or 18.

I imagine Bergolla will make the league top 10 prospects list but that is because of the bonus. No idea if anyone else stood out that much to make a top 10 or 20 prospect list. We had 2 good teams this year that were not extraordinarily old - so all in all it was probably a good year for us even if there are not clearly identifiable pitching prospects yet.

Rough 2nd outing for Alex McFarlane. We need to remember that he is pretty raw and does not have quite the assortment of stuff that McGarry had when drafted.

Well, it was raining. High spin fastball and breaking ball, not that different but we need to see more to find out exactly what he his.
