Velocity is good and they like his intangibles otherwise it'll come down to 4+ years of development, ability to pick up a breaking ball and durability. If you see him in the next 4 years it would be a shocker.
Why are there no HS scouting reports? Just curious. I didn't play baseball in high school, and honestly, no one went to games for 3 years of my high school career. I did track as my spring sport. But in my senior class was a kid (now in his 40's) named Scott Burrell and he threw mid-90's and any time he pitched there were 10 - 15 scouts in attendance, so we started going to high school baseball games.
he was drafted in the 1st round (also a 1st round NBA pick). and he was our football team QB - best athlete I've been around.

Overall Mets fans should be excited about pitching prospect Anthony Kay in this his 1st season playing in system.
The 2016 1st rd pick has shown a solid assortment of pitches. The FB velocity has looked good. Changeup solid.
21 starts
115 inn
116 Ks
0 HRs in 45.2 inn in High A
I am assuming they have to start both Dunn and Kilome in AAA next year right? If so when is last time the Mets had a high upside starter in AAA? Matz?

Did Fulmer pitch much in AAA? I think he might've topped out in AA yet?
Good points on Kay. The lack of Ks doesn't mean he's not going to make it or be good, it just means he needs to get better. Let's hope he has a big offseason and shows real development next year.
Serious question. Not sure what's typical or considered success (especially one year removed from TJS)
As he moves up the ranks and faces better hitters, he's going to need improve his stuff as the same stuff will do worse against better competition.
Given the TJ, there's definitely reason to hope that he can improve coming back next year, but it's hard to me to be excited that he'll be a top of rotation arm until I see that improved performance. He's more of a promising "wait and see" guy rather than a "stud" I'm super excited about.
when he was over 10 in A and is at 7.5 in A+.

PJ,
SAL is an extreme strikeout league. Same was said about Peterson and here we are (so far). I wouldn't put too much credence in the SAL k-rates
Not but in conjunction with 2 members of the BA staff mentioning his breaking ball is below average right now it's relevant.
Dunn/Peterson/Kay all seem to profile more like #3 starters at best. That's not a terrible thing, good Jon Niese had value, his stuff was just clearly never on the level of Thor/JDG/Wheeler/Harvey.
We'll see how Szapucki/Humphreys come back from TJS next year and how SWR does. But their timelines are obviously all pretty far behind the first 4.

This, plus it usually takes pitchers a full year back before they find their control again.
you'd think for an excuse making organization they'd be better at it.
He just made his AA debut last night. The Braves AAA rotation features 5 top 100 prospects, Kyle Wright, Touki Toussaint, Luiz Gohara, Kolby Allard, and Kyle Wilson. That doesn't include top prospect Mike Soroka who is on the 60 day DL.
We really need to nail the GM hire this offseason and start loading up our system to compete with this teams.
Part of my optimism over Philly is that I believe their ownership really means it when they indicate that they want to spend big this offseason. The Mets could theoretically do the same, but I think none of us here expect the Mets to win a bidding war with anyone over Machado or Harper.
I agree. Set him up for success next year by getting his feet wet on adjustments to the new league now. Also allows him to enter riding high, instead of from the standing start of the offseason. Even if he struggles you'd think it would help him going into next year. This is the exact case I'd make for calling up Alonso too.

I would like to see this kid in Low A. He is very young but he is clearly ready for better pitching. The Braves were very aggressive with Acuna, Albies, and now Pache and Riley and it has worked out great so far. Vientos will be a top 10 3B prospect, possibly top 5, in a year IMO.

It's service time, don't let anyone fool you with the glove BS. Same as Vlad Jr.
This is a totally wild ass projection, but I hope next year's top 10 pick is the highest upside SP possible, which would likely be a HS'er. I like Kelenic, but truthfully I would have preferred it this year if there was a player worthy of the pick. The quantity of SP at AA or above next year should be better than it has been since Harvey/Wheeler/JDG were prospects (obviously the quality isn't the same). Upper level depth is ok. Not great but ok. Need to keep adding true high upside arms so hopefully 1 or 2 of them are ready to step in 4-5 years down the road after JDG/Thor. Need to stack numbers because even in a best case scenario half will bust.

It probably is, but I think that's insane for a guy who is already 23. If they are rebuilding, fine wait, who knows when you will compete next.
If they are trying to compete next year and Alonso can be part of the solution, i'd say that's a little bit more important than whether he hits FA in 2025 or 2026 (or whatever the years are).
Nope. Service time counts just the same in September.
I'm with you on that one Dan. I just hope they play in Charleston early next season. The schedule-maker sometimes has a different idea !!

very intrigued by what the Columbia team might look like next season. Presumably Szapucki will open there, then most of the Kelenic, Mauricio, Cortes, Santana, Newton, Vientos group.

Current roster is truly horrid but next years team should be a lot of fun. Presumably Cortes is in St. Lucie and as I said tough decision to be made on Mauricio/Newton.
12:27 He's legit, by almost any definition of the word. He is limited by his physicality, but Gimenez may be a 60 bat and 55-60 glove, so that's still a 2-3 win player if there's little power.
That's Andres Gimenez, SS with the Mets
Worse in the Mets case as they NEVER back fill Columbia from BK because they care about winning games in BK so badly so they promote and then sign Indy ball guys to replace them. Really a guy like Cortes should be in Columbia (Vilera etc)
Adrian Hernandez 2 for 4, RBI both finishing the year strong. Would be nice to see Hernandez bypass GCL next year and land in Kingsport #Mets

yeah i'm pretty hopeful the floor is a more athletic and all around better version of Ruben Tejada (without the bad attitude). Tejada produced 7 fwar in his 4 years as a starter, with relatively consistent numbers across the board. Even only a slightly better version of that is not a bad floor. And since he's 19 who knows, maybe there's even more upside.
IMO one of the most impressive things about his season this year beyond the stats is that he's been the best player on the team at each stop this year. Not sure who would even be the 2nd best player he played with. Toffey? Joey Terdoslavich? Matt Paez in St Lucie? Just as a comparison Rosario played a lot of games with Dom Smith and some other big ML producers like Phil Evans hitting behind him. having good players around always helps so Gimenez' season this year is that much more impressive for not really having that and still showing the ability to hit, draw walks, and not K a ton.

He's 24 in February with a .184 OBP in St. Lucie. He's been ab absolute disaster c'mon. He had a .345 OBP with zero power as a 23 year old in the SAL. He sucks.
Again, you are looking at his OBP as an overage guy in the SAL (with a .356 slug) that's not playable.. his season = truly awful. He was 1.5 years OLDER than the average player in the SAL while putting up those numbers
