MrMartyBarrett 562 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Zero incentive to call him up. There would be a much better chance he finds himself shut down as he’s already blown away his previous innings total, which isn’t saying much. I think they’d like to get him to 100 IP. He is an interesting as hell case. He’s only thrown 88.2 TOTAL professional innings, which would lead you to believe they want him to get stretched out much more before pushing him up ladder. However, he’ll be 23 at the end of this month. AND he has an extensive injury history, so there is tons of risk here. However, I’m all in, and have been from day 1. This is one of those guys we want to see right away, but definitely going to have to be patient 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was a fluke injury and he has demonstrated he is fully recovered from it. I think Nate carries as much injury risk as every hard throwing pitcher. He threw 101 innings combined in college/minors in 2017. He has the desired starting pitcher physical build. I don't think he is getting called up this year, but I do think they continue to stretch him out to end the year. If healthy I think we see him next year in Toronto.

Injury risk is already having a screw in your elbow....nothing to do with that fluke injury last year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BCMarch10 141 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Well if the screw is made of titanium or something like that then we're good. If they only used duct tape then not so good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, I don't know the answer because the broken elbow injury is an outlier. He is healthy to date throwing all of his pitches. If he goes down with TJ tomorrow I am not about to blame a screw in his elbow. The only additional risk he may carry with a screw in his elbow is a fracture and I do not know what the likelihood of that is, which is why I asked the question. Either way, our sample set is going to be super small to draw conclusions from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hellgrammite 207 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Knocked around a little bit today. I am curious to see how he handles AAA and the juiced ball. We have seen a number of pitchers do well in AA this year, and then really get knocked around once they get promoted to AAA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thezing1 1,813 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Threw 101 pitches last night. 60 for strikes. 5.2 innings. 4 hits. 3 walks. 6 K's. 0 runs. Good to see the pitch count moving up. 101, 93, 81, 91, 74 are his pitch counts in his last 5 games while staying on a normal schedule pitching every 5th or 6th day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GC Tacos 151 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Do we see him as a SP or RP when he gets the call in 2020. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand where you are coming from with this question. The only reason I can see him being a RP is to limit innings, but that type of prediction in August of 2019 is getting really cute and I don't see how it really changes anything. He could break camp with the Jays next year. He could get called up on the Vlad timeline or the Gallen timeline. Who knows. But for now he is a starter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brockpapersizer 11,920 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Not only is he a starter for me but he's going to a major league team with no good starters who are trying to make obvious reliever Trent Thornton a starter. His starter leash will be long Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reid-Foley was a top prospect, but has flamed so far, Kay is probably more a back end rotation piece. Thronton is ok, Wagespack and Pannone are meh. I do like Manoah, Woods-Richardson, and Pardinho, but man they are years and years away. Why should anyone fear these people? Edited August 18, 2019 by kwolf68 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have a lot of pitching depth in the minors, but we don't know how many will turn out yet. Obviously Pearson (health permitting) is the most promising but a future rotation of a mix of Pearson, Manoah, Woods Richardson, Kloffenstein, Kay, Paradinho, Murphy, Williams sounds interesting Quote Link to post Share on other sites

svdude 331 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Projection: 125 innings (22 starts), 9 W, 3.33 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 133 K With Blue Jays looking to compete and spots up for grabs in the rotation, it sounds like there is a good chance Pearson can make an impact this year.

Love hearing the in-person accounts. Reminds of watching Jo Adell in a game vs the Single A SJ Giants. When he hit the ball it sounded different. I think people that watch Minor League games regularly know when a player is special. Sounds like Pearson might be on of those guys. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
