the Orioles have a catcher at triple-A with a lot of pop, but we aren’t sure about his defensive future. hey, wait a minute…

facing an opponent who commands three pitches will Yhoikerfy a lot of A-ball hitters

Kyle Lodise open side. he’s been heating up lately

Esteban Mejia has had an uneven beginning, but the low-90s slider looks a lot better than it did for me a few weeks ago. he threw two in a row to get Aaron Walton, Cleveland’s second-round pick

Wehiwa Aloy leading off with a single. note the acceleration halfway down the line

Joey Oakie mid/upper 90s early but leaving sliders up, this one laced for a double by Ike Irish

Juneiker Caceres seen here ripping a double to right field. entered today hitting above .400 over 24 ABs at this level

Braylon Doughty has been had really strong breaking stuff today. here he gets José Anderson, who homered earlier in the game

Esteban Mejia is finishing up his full-season debut. rudimentary command but popped a couple 100s and a few more 99s and 98s. also showed some changeup feel

Wellington Aracena, from the Gregory Soto trade last week. up to 97 early and this appeared to be his low-90s cutter
