For a frame of reference, here are the overall league SO/BB ratios for the higher levels: International League = 2.3, Southern League = 1.9, Florida State League = 2.1, South Atlantic League =2.5. Note: Minimum 20 IP for rate stats and only players younger than 26.0 are included as anyone older I don't consider a "prospect."

Others: IP, ERA, FIP, DIPS, BB/9, H/9, SO, SO/9

  1. How come I never see anything written about LHP reliever JOSH SATOW---graduate of Arizona State and at Hudson Valley this past season. He had the top ERA at 1.23.

  2. He did have a good year, even if it was only 36.2 IP. But you would expect him to given his age and experience at a top program like ASU. The reasons he doesn't stand out: there were several other relievers at HV who had good years, age/level (22.8, not in full-season ball yet), projectability (listed at 5'10", 155 pounds), and he's already a reliever at A- level. He'll have to continue to put up great numbers as he moves up with the hope of becoming a LOOGY. To be clear, there's nothing WRONG with Satow, he just doesn't have as much upside as others in an organization loaded with pitching. In a weaker org he would get more notice.
