Down on the Farm 2025

Also yesterday:

Marco Luciano’s home run had an exit velocity 111.6 MPH and an estimated distance of 430 feet. Thats a missile, folks.

There has never been real concerns about his bat. He WILL have a MLB career. But that career will be limited if he is tied to DH.

Kyle Harrison yesterday:

5 IP
6 H
1 ER
0 BB
7 K

Ran the FB up to 98

He seems to be recovering well from a poor start to the 2025 season. I wonder how long before the Giants demote Roupp to AAA and/or Hicks to the bullpen.

Maybe the issues were mechanical and not injury??

And his numbers aren't that great at AAA for a corner outfielder/DH type.

He is still super young. I am not concerned about his bat in the slightest.

Sure. Just saying his numbers aren't that impressive currently.

I still have high hopes and expectations for Roupp, but I wouldn’t be opposed to giving him a breather in Sacto for a bit and let him work on what he has learned this past month+.

Let’s see if Harry is back. Or give the slot to Birdsong and call up a reliever instead (Harry?? Hjelli??)

I would also be okay with Hicks moving back to the bullpen but that obviously is a bit more difficult than demoting Roupp.

The velocity is nice, but I will die on the hill that his ceiling is tied to improving his secondary pitches and overall command. He has flashed an improved slider at times in Sac this season. Hopefully he builds off that.
