Follow the Prospects: Harry Ford, C

[imref]

BA up to .202 after yesterday.

.381 OBP in May with an 11/15 BB/K, more like his Mariner minors numbers. 

He's also close to ensuring he won't be a Super 2 because of a call up this year.

Andrew Flax notes that over Ford's last 10 games: .300/.429/.475, 20.4% K rate, 18.4% BB rate

Might not be a bad idea to swap him and Millas at this point.

I'm not usually a fan of small sample sizes, but his numbers have been improving as the season goes on.

He's got 28 days of MLB service time from last year, so they're going to wait a bare minimum of 15-20 days to avoid Super 2 after the '28 season.  He's also got to play most days, and with Keibert responding well to better coaching, that further delays the callup. Maybe a post-deadline or Sept move to MLB realistically.

I think it's hard to game Super 2 this year with the MLBPA asking that more players qualify. They have asked for double (22% -> 44%). They won't get that, but 25% to 33% might happen.

They say they like how Millas frames and works with pitchers. I think he has a long leash while they're scoring runs and there's stuff for Ford to work on

I don't intend to do to update 70+ players for their monthly stats like Noblesthyname, but I wanted to give a monthly update for Ford because he started the season so slow and is slotted to come up to the majors at some point when he is doing well.

For May, he slashed .234 / .372 / .344 for a 98 wRC+ over 78 PAs, with 1 HR and 4 doubles on 15 hits. Walked 14 times, K'd 19, .318 BABIP. That's progress, but you would still like more extra base hits. No clue on how  he's looked defensively.

Check out what Romero is doing. Might be nipping at Ford’s heels soon.
