This Week in Baseball Debuts: the April Edition Welcome to the First Issue of the This Week in Baseball Debuts Newsletter This Week In Baseball Debuts: The April Edition Welcome to the first issue of the This Week In Baseball Debuts newsletter. Inspired by a recent episode of Effectively Wild, the purpose of this newsletter is to highlight the MLB debuts that have occurred in the past week. Our goal is to not only inform you about the top prospects you already know but give you some insight into some of the lesser know players who may only be up for a single cup of coffee. In putting this together we decided that we shouldn’t leave off any debuts that have occurred this year. In doing so we realized this would be to much for a single email. With that we decided the first issue will highlight all of the debuts that occurred in April and next week’s issue will highlight all debuts that occurred in the month of May. After that it will just be a weekly update that will be sent to your inbox every Sunday. In addition to this newsletter, a version of these profiles will also appear at Banished To The Pen. Adam Cimber, RP Team: San Diego Padres Debut: March 29, 2018 Adam Cimber is a right handed pitcher who was selected in the 9th round by the San Diego Padres in the 2013 MLB draft. Cimber is a righty side-arm pitcher. Cimber's pitches top out at around 90 mph.

He signed with the Cardinals for $600,000 bonus passing on a scholarship to Tulane. Hicks was a starting pitcher until he was promoted to High Palm Beach, where he made the first relief appearances of his professional career. He pitched 3 games in relief including getting a save. Until May 8, Hicks held the record for the fastest pitch of 2018. Unfortunately one of his 100+ mph was fouled off and severely injured Yadier Molina's testicles.

Hill missed the 2015 season after it was found that he had colon cancer during a routine checkup. He throws side arm because "I cannot really throw the ball overhand,” he said.

Known for his three-quarters delivery, Hirano throws a mid-90s fastball and a forkball. He was the first overall pick of the 2005 NPB draft by the Orix Buffaloes. He was converted into a reliever in 2010 where he immediately found success. In 2011 he was named the NPB Middle Reliever of the Year and led the league in saves in 2014 and 2016. In 2017 he was a member of Japan’s World Baseball Classic team which lost in the semifinals.

Taken by the Cincinnati Reds in the 2017 Rule 5 draft and then sold to the Kansas City Royals. In his MLB Debut on Opening Day, Keller struck out the very first batter he faced in the MLB, Adam Engel.

While shortstop is his primary position, he has played second and third in the minors along with playing the outfield for the first time last year. Scouts have said he's had raw power but was more of a line drive hitter but after some changes in his mechanics he looks to become another swing change breakout player. He looks to only be with the big league club while Jedd Gyorko is on the DL. Debut Game Hitting: 1 PA | 1 AB | 0 H | 1 K Player Pages Baseball Reference Fangraphs Prospect Rankings (Team / Overall) MLB Pipeline: 12 / NA Fangraphs: 6 / NA Baseball Prospectus: NA / NA Shohei Ohtani, SP/DH Team: Los Angeles Angels Debut: March 29, 2018 If you some how haven't heard of Shohei Ohtani yet I just have to assume you don't even know what baseball is. Already proving that he is both the best pitcher and the best hitter in Japan, Shohei Ohtani is attempting to become the first two way player in over a century. The Angels are letting him pitch once a week and DH all other games except for the day before, during, and after pitching.

He signed a 6 year 24 million dollar contract extension before ever playing a MLB game. Kingery was a Louisville Slugger High School All-American, but was not offered a single NCAA D1 scholarship. He made the University of Arizona team as a walk-on. In his junior year, Kingery was named PAC-12 Player of the Year. Early in life Kingery tasted baseball success, his Little League team won the 2006 West Regional and made it to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA.

Of 2016 MLB draftees, Lucchesi is the first pitcher to make it to the majors, and second player overall, Austin Hays was the first.

  • New York Yankees Shortstop Gleyber Torres Wins AFL MVP
    New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres wins AFL MVP Author : Robert D. Cobb New York Yankees' top prospect, shortstop Gleyber Torres, has won the Arizona Fall League MVP award. Torres, who was the headliner in the package from the Cubs that sent Aroldis Chapman to Chicago, is just 19-years-old. He is the youngest player to win the Joe Black MVP Award, in fact, no one under the age of 21 has ever put together a better season in the 32 game league. [embedit snippet="ryne-ads"] The Arizona Fall League is an off-season, 32 game league that plays from mid-October to mid-November. It was founded in 1992 and has attracted many of the top prospects in minor league systems all around the league. Torres, along with fellow Yankee prospects Greg Bird, Miguel Andujar, Dillon Tate, J.P. Feyereisen, Tyler Wade, Brody Koerner and James Kaprielian, played for the Scottsdale Scorpions. Torres led the AFL in average at .403, OBP at .513, and OPS at 1.158. He also earned the batting title, by an astounding 50 points over the next closest player. He added 25 hits, three homers, four doubles, 14 walks, and four stolen bases in 18 games, putting all of his tools on display. His performance earned him two AFL Player of the Week awards en route to being named MVP. He wasn't only the league's best hitter, but he also provided a flair for the dramatic. On October 15th he delivered a walk-off hit with the bases loaded for the Scorpions, joining teammate Tim Tebow with the only walk-off hits of the year.

  • Sabermetrics: the Past, the Present, and the Future
    Sabermetrics: The Past, the Present, and the Future Jim Albert February 12, 2010 Abstract This article provides an overview of sabermetrics, the science of learn- ing about baseball through objective evidence. Statistics and baseball have always had a strong kinship, as many famous players are known by their famous statistical accomplishments such as Joe Dimaggio’s 56-game hitting streak and Ted Williams’ .406 batting average in the 1941 baseball season. We give an overview of how one measures performance in batting, pitching, and fielding. In baseball, the traditional measures are batting av- erage, slugging percentage, and on-base percentage, but modern measures such as OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) are better in predicting the number of runs a team will score in a game. Pitching is a harder aspect of performance to measure, since traditional measures such as winning percentage and earned run average are confounded by the abilities of the pitcher teammates. Modern measures of pitching such as DIPS (defense independent pitching statistics) are helpful in isolating the contributions of a pitcher that do not involve his teammates. It is also challenging to measure the quality of a player’s fielding ability, since the standard measure of fielding, the fielding percentage, is not helpful in understanding the range of a player in moving towards a batted ball. New measures of fielding have been developed that are useful in measuring a player’s fielding range. Major League Baseball is measuring the game in new ways, and sabermetrics is using this new data to find better mea- sures of player performance.

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings February 23, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1995 - Kevin Mitchell signs a contract to play for the Daiei Hawks in Japan. Mitchell spent three seasons with the Reds, batting .332 with 50 doubles, 55 home runs and 167 RBI MLB.COM 'Breaking' news: Cingrani develops cutter Reds lefty works in offseason to add another pitch offering By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | February 22nd, 2017 + 50 COMMENTS GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Reds left-hander Tony Cingrani can throw his four-seam fastball 95 mph, and consistent with his career, he used it often in 2016. It was so often that PITCHf/x data showed he threw his fastball more than 87 percent of the time. Cingrani started using a split-fingered fastball sometime in the second half, but he realized it was time to diversify the repertoire even more. He needed a breaking ball and used the offseason to develop a cut fastball. "It's just another way to get guys out," Cingrani said. "It gets hitters off thinking it's just going to be a fastball. I'm still trying to work on how I want that ball to move, but it's good and feels comfortable." At the suggestion of teammate and fellow reliever Caleb Cotham, Cingrani traveled to Kent, Wash., in the fall and worked out at Driveline Baseball. The facility, owned by Kyle Boddy, has gained a reputation for providing data-driven pitch training and also encourages building arm strength by playing catch with weighted balls. "Caleb is a pretty smart cat," Cingrani said.

Play began with the Mesa Solar Sox visiting the Glendale Desert Dogs and the Peoria Javelinas hosting the Surprise Saguaros.

Mesa counters with a top shortstop prospect of its own in Daniel Robertson (Rays), who batted .301 for the Solar Sox last fall. Surprise's lineup is powered by outfielders Brett Phillips (Brewers) and Lewis Brinson (Rangers). Peoria boasts a pair of former first-round picks in shortstop Alex Blandino (Cardinals) and corner infielder D.J. Peterson (Mariners).
