Nolan Schanuel

This guy needs another thread about him.

Now they’ll throw him more strikes so he needs to start scalding it a bit 

[ScottT]

I am so impressed.   

He's not gonna get attention until/unless he hits for power, but what a find.  Props to Perry and his team.

Neto and Ohoppe too.

Perry has to stay.

Yes!

I hope so.   Even if not.... we've got a solid 1b

[Stradling]

I have it on good authority he was rushed up here, before he was ready, in a desperate attempt to compete this year. 

[Stradling]

Also, he’s been on base 48 times in 25 games to start his career. He’s batted leadoff 24 of 25 times this year, and the other time he batted 2nd. A player like that with Trout and Ohtani batting behind him would have a gigantic impact on how many runs the team scores in a season, especially if you can find a solid .340 OBP guy to bat 9th. 

[Blarg]

If he was faster he would be the perfect leadoff hitter but he is a station to station runner. I hope he develops more power to balance his skill sets out.

Perry can stay and be in charge of draft. Free agent signings he needs to stay away from. Schanuel has been very impressive.

I keep hearing about him getting stringer. Are you concerned that would take away his "eye" for getting on base?

So...you think Perry should stay for, essentially, doing his job as a GM?

Wondering if they are going to send him down before he reaches the rookie thresholds

He won't hit the roster days or at bat limits.  He has 95 ABs with 8 games left (including today's), so he can still get 34 AB without exhausting his eligibility.  Given his BB rate, it's highly unlikely he'll get 34 AB over the next 8 games, even if he plays every one of them.

Very weird it's based on AB and not PA. With his stellar place discipline, Schanuel has found a loophole.

Yeah, I'm not sure why it's that way, but it is!  I guess AB is the more commonly-used stat, so maybe they just felt it was easier.

If he continues his streak till end of season can he continue with it in 2024?

Yes.  MLB technically has single season and multi-season streak records.

He found a good young catcher, shortstop, and first baseman in about a year.  That's impressive.

Sure, why not.  Renfroe’s streak will carry over as well because he left game while in on deck circle without a plate appearance.

Walks are a false stat.

[Stradling]

There are stats I dislike one is blown save, because it’s incomplete. A second is Total Bases as it doesn’t include walks. Maybe if they had a stat called TB+ that included walks it wouldn’t bother me but it feels incomplete.
