Cam Bedrosian

[rafibomb]

Made his High-A debut and pitched 2 innings, striking out 3 with no walks. Threw 24 pitches and 18 of which were strikes.

[Angel Oracle]

Definately stick to relief, his stuff plays better to it anyway.   Plus, he has a former All-Star relief pitching dad to go to for advice. 

[Angelsjunky]

Let's hope he sneaks up on us and becomes a star reliever. He's only 21 and could advance quickly.

[Angelsjunky]

I don't understand why his ERA is so high (5.08). He's got a terrific strikeout rate (11.4), his walk rate isn't good but not terrible (3.7) and he's given up about a hit per inning, and only 4 HR in 56.2 innings. That all smacks of bad luck, or maybe a couple of really bad games, because his peripherals look more like a 3.50 ERA than a 5.00+ ERA.

 

I haven't looked at his stats all year and am feeling quite optimistic. Last year was terrible - 52 walks and 48 Ks in 82.2 innings, but it was his first year after missing all of 2011 and only playing a bit in 2010. But he's looking much better this year and I think has come back on the map as a legit prospect, if now as a reliever. Closer of the future?

A lot of that is 2 disastrous starts he made to begin the season: 5 IP combined, 11 hits, 14 ER, 1 HR, 6 BB, 3 K

 

His numbers out of the bullpen are pretty much better: Baseball-Reference's minor league splits has him at

 

52 IP(which does seem it might be 1/3 of an inning off), 45 hits, 3 HR, 17 BB, 69 Ks. 3.12 ERA and a 1.192 WHIP

[Angel Oracle]

The relief pitching stats are very solid.    Plus, as mentioned, he's still only 21.

 

Maybe 3 of those 5 top 40 picks in 2010 will ultimately be solid up here, after all 

[FireThemAll]

We desperately need Bedrosian, Morin, and Alvarez to pan out as good relievers at the major league level.

[Toby Ziegler]

Alvarez has the best stuff of the them and has the most upside. But I think Morin easily has the highest floor. I was impressed with Morin when I saw him. He knows how to pitch.

[Angel Oracle]

What velocity is Bedrosian sitting on and maxing out at currently?

Is his slider still a work in progress, but with upside?
