Re: The Nolan Gorman Mega Thread
36.4% is not even close to "damn near half."
He's also at a wRC+ of 97 at a level that is full of 21-24 year olds. It's incredible what he did at that level, honestly.

He struck out 19 times in his last 37 at-bats (once pitchers got a book on him, I assume). Look, I'm not down on the kid. I'm just saying that this talk of getting him to the big-leagues is WAY premature.

I don't think you understand how the low minors work, because assuming pitchers have a book on him is hilarious.Socnorb11 wrote:phins wrote:36.4% is not even close to "damn near half."

It's possible that I don't know. I'm not sure what that's funny, since I didn't state it as factual anyway.InvincibleCakeEater wrote:I don't think you understand how the low minors work, because assuming pitchers have a book on him is hilarious.Socnorb11 wrote:phins wrote:36.4% is not even close to "damn near half."

Why do you think he started out hot at low-A, and is now failing to make contact 50% of the time?

Re: The Nolan Gorman Mega Thread
because he just turned 18 freaking years old 4 months ago, and was in a league with guys 21-24ish...to do anything in that league at such a young age, let alone show the power he had, is nothing short of remarkable.Socnorb11 wrote:It's possible that I don't know.

I haven't denied any of that, so I'm not sure why you're making that point.cardsfantx wrote:because he just turned 18 freaking years old 4 months ago, and was in a league with guys 21-24ish...to do anything in that league at such a young age, let alone show the power he had, is nothing short of remarkable.Socnorb11 wrote:It's possible that I don't know.

My point (and pretty much exactly what I said, in response to him possibly debuting in a year and a half) is that he struck out in exactly half of his last 40 at-bats at low-A, so we need to slow the roll. Which part of that do you disagree with, specifically?

Re: The Nolan Gorman Mega Thread
why cherry pick the last 40 ABs? not sure what the point you're trying to make either by doing that.Socnorb11 wrote:I haven't denied any of that, so I'm not sure why you're making that point.cardsfantx wrote:because he just turned 18 freaking years old 4 months ago, and was in a league with guys 21-24ish...to do anything in that league at such a young age, let alone show the power he had, is nothing short of remarkable.Socnorb11 wrote:It's possible that I don't know.

and to your other point, the only person asking if he could debut in a year and a half was some random guy on a chat that was posted, and MAGA, who we know is a weirdo (just kidding)
don't think anyone here actually thinks he'll be in MLB at 19-20 years old...most likely 21 if he keeps it up, and that's damn exciting.

Re: The Nolan Gorman Mega Thread
Even if you use all of his at-bats, he's striking out 41% of the time (39 strikeouts in 94 at-bats). He'll be fine, but he's really young and needs time to mature.
I was pretty much just responding to those who thought he might be in the majors in a year and a half. I specifically suggested that we "slow the roll". I didn't say anything disparaging about the kid. I'm not sure why anyone would take offense to that.

Re: The Nolan Gorman Mega Thread
36.4%; you have to use plate appearances, not ABs if you're going to talk about SO percentages to make sure you include every type of PA; and as pihns pointed out, a wRC+ of 97 at that level.
that's damn good IMO for a just turned 18 year old kid against...well "men"
