And that is great for him; he returned from his injury and seems to be playing well at least for June. One thing that stood out to me on Harris' recent interview was his talking about how important outfield defense is in his mind regarding run prevention. The one knock on Langford is he is pretty much a left-fielder with thoughts having him, which I am sure he will do well there but Harris and his team put a premium on defense as an Org which you can agree or disagree with. It should be noted out of 61 games Langford has been a DH for 23 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveMaroth Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Just to highlight something I talked about before, Clark had a pretty good game last night but his HR was the 3rd lowest EV he had on the night. He needs to work on getting a better launch angle going forward but the power and hit tool are there along with the speed on the base paths.

Hate to make comparisons like this, but his potential reminds me of a slightly smaller, less powerful Mike Trout. No pressure, kid 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not all parks have it so it is hit and miss. Also please forgive my terrible paint job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris also said on the podcast that it allowed him to also pay McGonigle and Wilson/Young (?) high school lefty. Which might have been said to distract from Langfords June but I tend to agree because LLM stated as much. What is melting a bit is Harris pointing out that Keith and all under 24 year olds are struggling because Langford and Churio are figuring it out.

BA on Hamm Hamm is at this point the second-best pitching prospect in the Tigers' system, trailing only the best pitching prospect in baseball (Jackson Jobe). He's a fast riser who should at least be a quality reliever, but with a solid chance to carve out a role as a solid midrotation starter.

LongLiveMaroth Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 2 Tigers make the BA hot-sheet this week. 6. Ty Madden, RHP, Tigers Team: Triple-A Toledo (International) Age: 24 Why He’s Here: 1-0, 0.00, 1 G, 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 HR, 0 BB, 8 SO. The Scoop: Madden’s gem this week is a palate cleanser after he allowed 14 hits and 13 runs in just 5.2 innings over two starts at St. Paul the week before. His adjustment to Triple-A has generally been a rocky one so far, but this week’s dominance of Louisville offers some reassurance. Madden relies heavily on his slider. When it’s working, he has success, but his fastball is too often squared up, which means he needs to find either a little more velocity, or develop another fastball, as Triple-A hitters aren’t having problems handling elevated fastballs at the top of the zone. (JC) 13. Max Anderson, 2B, Tigers Team: High-A West Michigan (Midwest) Age: 22 Why He’s Here: .375/.444/.750 (9-for-24) 7 R, 3 2B, 0 3B, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 3 BB, 2 SO, 1-for-0 SB. The Scoop: In the first game of the Whitecaps series with Lansing, Anderson yanked a home run to left field and ripped a double down the left field line as well. From there on, the Lugnuts stayed away from trying to bust Anderson in on the hands. So Anderson adjusted by driving the ball to center and right field the rest of the week. Anderson is actually more comfortable going to center and right field and racking up singles and doubles, but he does have enough ability to yank a ball to keep pitchers from getting complacent. Whether Anderson can stick at second is an open question, but there are many fewer concerns about his ability to hit. (JC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(JC) Just to throw a little cold water on Madden's most recent start, Louisville's .711 OPS is good for absolute last in the International League (.773). That's a cheaply calculated 92 OPS+. Yes, I know, I'm a ray of sunshine at parties, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
