I had the chance to talk with the Nats head of business operations. We talked about beer prices, declining attendance, a potential stadium reboot and more. Fascinating conversation. federalbaseball.com/washington-nat…

@1113335br That’s what I’ve always thought or at least hoped, his batted ball numbers from last season really weren’t bad and his approach was unrefined, but not awful. If he could clean it up, combined with his plus speed and defense, I think he has 4+ WAR potential in there

Dom Sem@1113335br·13m

@PaulCubbage23 Maybe with lower expectations he could still have a nice career

Dylan Crews in May: .370 wOBA (.423 xwOBA) 98th percentile average exit velocity 98th percentile barrel rate 58th percentile Z-Contact rate Strikeout rate down 7% from April Almost there, next step is more contact and less chase

I’d go a step further - it’s not just working on the chase, but the swing decisions overall. For a guy who swings the bat at an above average clip, he is not swinging in the zone nearly enough. More swings in, less swings out. Clearly getting better but still work to be done.

@BaseUnstitched @jowole1216 For me to believe he can be a plus big league hitter again? Probably until this time next month of hard contact and improved contact numbers For him to be back to pre-callup hype for me? Same length maybe, but needs to take another even larger step in his plate approach

English

Baseball Unstitched@BaseUnstitched·21m

@jowole1216 @PaulCubbage23 My question for both of you, just out of curiosity: how long does the “hot streak” need to last before we believe he is again the guy we thought he was?

@YesThatBrooke He’s raking at Triple A, it’s just hard to be rated highly as a corner INF prospect unless you’re elite defensively and/or there’s no holes in your bat, and with YoYo he’s not great on defense and he’s got some swing and miss concerns. Still think he can be a valuable big leaguer

Brooke Tunstall@YesThatBrooke·24m

Isaac Lyon, a 22-year-old RHP acquired in the Jose A. Ferrer trade this offseason, through 8 High A starts: 2.13 ERA 14.6 K-BB% 84th percentile CSW% 95th percentile opponents wOBA 99th percentile groundball rate Not just a throw in trade piece, a legit arm

@erom_mo He made high swing and miss work for him at Low A and I think he could do it again in High A, but it probably needs to be a little better than where it is now

English

Hater@erom_mo·40m

Cruz unsurprisingly starting to feel the effects of an early promotion to A+. He'll work through it.

Paul Cubbage@PaulCubbage23

King and Cruz flip flop for me not because Cruz is struggling or King is going nuts, but I really just need to see a little improvement in Cruz’s approach before I’m all in. The power potential is huge, but a 38% whiff rate and 45% chase rate is unsustainable

Paul Cubbage@PaulCubbage23·31m

@jowole1216 Just posted about his May overall, looks like he’s really locking it in contact wise the last week or so because the whiff and chase rate were still a little below average for the month

Josh L.@jowole1216·39m

@PaulCubbage23 Well… FWIW (since Monday and since a week before Monday):

Paul Cubbage@PaulCubbage23·41m

@jowole1216 He used to make so much contact can we get back to that please

English

Josh L.@jowole1216·12h

@PaulCubbage23 These are his metrics from April 27 to today, versus his metrics over the same sample right before his call up in 2024 (xwOBA almost 100 points higher):

English

Paul Cubbage@PaulCubbage23·48m

Harmon also jumps Perales in the top 10 because of my concern of Perales ability to start. Perales’ stuff is unreal, but he’s struggled to locate it, leading to many effective, but short outings in Rochester. Harmon is currently on the IL, but looked sharp in his 4 Low A starts

How would you like to headline the 2028 Washington Nationals rotation young man?

Timothy Chen@TimStats

There are 2 college pitchers since 2019 that have had: Top Velo >= 98.5 BB% < 5% IP/G >= 5 K% > 35% 2023 Paul Skenes and 2026 Logan Reddemann

Start cold, get hot middle of the year, play mid down the stretch, finish 10-7 and probably get smoked in the wild card

17 in a row in April and now 16 in a row in May what is MLB’s problem with us?

Spencer Nusbaum@spencernusbaum_

The Nationals are recalling lefty Andrew Alvarez from Triple-A Rochester, per source. Reliever Zak Kent was optioned as the corresponding move. With 16 games in 16 days, I assume this won’t be the last roster move over the next couple of weeks.
