Spring breakout
-
How cool is that? Well, he may not be "headline," but I just noticed that his stock has risen a fair amount as he's leapfrogged a couple of other pitching prospects (I went back and read his scouting report and checked in on Athletics Nation's community prospect list)... MLB lists him as #12 in the A's org, now, with only a few pitchers more highly regarded, and they're projecting him to break in this year, also.
I wish the best for the young man; I plan on hitting more than a few games in Sac this year, so hopefully I can get a glimpse myself!
I appreciate you sharing that.

@SavageSteve74_PSN Crawford has 47 ABs for the Phills in 2026 Spring Training. Painter has pitched 4 games and has a 2.31 ERA. So outside [censored] of Future Stars is wild and 2 they are playing?!? Why give the Mariners 4 or 5 cards and not either of these two 1? They are playing, spring training break out cards aren’t performance based or some of the guys they dropped wouldn’t have cards. I use the stats to prove a point that they are playing not they need a card. Just saying spread the love to other teams.

Crawford and Painter are not on the Phils spring breakout rosters. They are in major league camp working toward and expected to be on the 26 man, Aiden Miller isn't either as he has a back injury.they only gave cards to those who played in the spring breakout games. Nori did but he just got a WBC card.

@PAinPA_PSN so they need to make the roster? Ok now why are the Phillies not putting either of them on the 26 man
. I wanna win. -

. I wanna win.When I say 26 man I'm referring to the regular season one, they aren't on it because it doesn't exist yet,won't until a day or 2 before opening day(I don't know why they wait till the last minute to do it)

I don’t think you understand what Spring Breakout is. It’s a special event that’s occurring at the end of Spring Training. Every team has selected minor league players from their own team to create a special Spring Breakout roster. Every Spring Breakout roster is competing against each other as a sort of showcase for the future of the team. Painter and Crawford weren’t selected for the Spring Breakout team since they have both made the MLB team. Miller wasn’t selected either since he’s dealing with back issues. Nori and Escobar would’ve been most likely candidates for cards, but Nori just got the WBC diamond so SDS isn’t giving him a second one.
Hopefully you understand it now.

@The_Joneser_PSN I think Morris is the opening day pitcher against the Bees...
-
@Blind_Bleeder_PSN, that's great... pitching on opening night is a pretty big deal. Looks like he's definitely going to get his shot to show what he can do this year.
I certainly wish him the best, and hope to see him at Sutter before too long!
-
@Blind_Bleeder_PSN, pretty good start for Morris on opening night... happy for him that he's starting games now (and doing well, it seems), but sure would have liked to see him in the pen for the big club these last couple of days.

It was a good outing. It’s a shame they held him to 80 pitches. I don’t know how’d he’d do out of the pen, but I’m hoping to see him in Sac with the A’s.
He should pitch next week when the Aviators are in town. I’ll let you know which date he’s scheduled for (when I find out) if you’d like.
