What do you have on Cam?

it's been a sensational year for cam a lot a lot goes unseen and i'm sure you guys have seen it and i've talked about it throughout with with cam this year it's been trying to figure out his identity last year he was primarily just four seam and sweeper and that was pretty much the only two pitches he used throughout the entire year.

They were trying to figure out the sweeper shape, how he's going to throw it.

We knew that he had the propensity to spin very, very well, so the Braves really wanted to have something east-west, and they decided on the sweeper.

The sweeper came to just develop incredibly well last year, and then this year, it was really, it became a weapon.

He was able to utilize it both against lefties and righties when you're When you're a lefty on lefty and you've got that kind of sweeper coming at you, it's essentially unhittable.

And so when you look up his numbers against left-handed hitting, it's even more staggering compared to his numbers on the season, which are already staggering, right? What I've seen from him is, again, the ability to...

But you've seen it across the board that people are just starting to get tired because they've never gone this deep into a season.

His debut was great too

...

he didn't play.

Yeah, exactly.

And he had strong numbers in, against Power Four Conference players and things like that.

But the, the sample size just wasn't there.

And, um, we, it was pure projection in terms of what kind of player he would be.

He has a new-

Mm-hmm.

And using that as the basis of my evaluation, like, I think it looks like he's a player that will continue to develop at each stage and not necessarily burn out, right? Um, you, you see a lot of that, a lot of the people, a lot of players, like, burning out a little closer to Double-A.

When you see a slightly better pitching quality, pitchers with the talent of, like, an MLB type of pitcher but might not have the command, you, you...

Batters at, at that level then can...

It's, like, a real process part.

Like-You can be a masher and have great numbers in lower levels, but once you start to get higher, if you're still that aggressive, if you're still expanding as much as you are, those numbers are gonna look pretty bad.

With Eric Hartman, it looks like the process is there, and so I do believe in him, in him as a prospect.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah

Or sometimes right in the middle.

Super weird.

Uh, long after the, the high school season ends, so it's, uh, players are, are re- are ramping back up just to try and get some, some time in with the organization.

So like it's hard to really account for anything that they do and, and take anything from it.

We saw...

What, the biggest surprise for me was Tate Salpesin even making a full season debut.

How good is Cam Kimminetti and how excited are you about him given that he's been in the system now for, uh, you know, a year and a half, two years?
