Today 6.2 Innings 3 Hits 1 BB 0 runs 9 Ks ERA down to 1.13 Come on, Bill. It's 1.12. Gore also threw 100 pitches--28 of those in the 1st inning. 1st pitch of the game, he hits a batter, then a walk, then an infield single. The Storm bullpen was active in the 1st inning. Of course, then he strikes out the side, and dominates from then on. Storm also win 5-0.

You didn't hear this from me, but it isn't a coincidence that they have reversed course on Gore's pitch limit. Especially now that he is beyond his innings from last season....Smoke. Fire.

I'm not sure anything has really changed, as they could still have him on an innings limit. He still has 6 or 7 days between starts. I think the Padres will shut him down around 130 innings.

They have to juggle innings of Patiño as well and with two other guys hurt, it definitely isn't coincidence. He reportedly has 9 starts left at this point. But there is something to it when he suddenly goes from 85 pitches to a hard cap of 100 in June.

I went to FanGraphs and did some deep digging to try and contextualize just how good #32 is. Just a brief glimpse into what I found....
FanGraphs data goes back to 2006. There are 926 qualified pitchers that threw 70 innings. Obviously, some threw way more than that, but the data points are probably never really perfect. So since 2006, Gore ranks 1st in ERA. 1st in WHIP. 1st in fewest hits allowed. 2nd in strikeout percentage. 2nd in FIP. I tried very hard to find a MLB comp for a left handed pitcher at the same age/level. I couldn't find one. At all. What he is doing in a traditional hitter's league (actually playing the other way this year) is remarkable and absurd. He starts Tuesday.

In yet another bizarre game that saw an adventurous strike zone, an immediate ejection of a Storm player and some baffling plays on both sides....Gore battles wonky command to post 7 shutouts innings, 3 hits, 3 walks and 9 strikeouts. Definitely had to work for it. Since Cinco de Mayo, Gore has thrown 53 innings, allowing 21 hits, 5 earned runs and has struck out 72. That's an ERA of 0.84.

And can't even get the win, as the bullpen couldn't hold the lead. His numbers for the entire season are so good they are just silly.

"Elsewhere Tuesday, the Padres opened another international signing window by adding a number of prospects, including Dominican outfielder Ismael Mena (for $2.2 million) and Panamanian shortstop Reginald Preciado ($1.3 million). Reliever Andres Muñoz, who arrived in the organization as a July 2 signee a few years ago, pitched in back-to-back games for the first time as a professional. The big-league bullpen soon could welcome the hardest thrower in the minor leagues. Meanwhile, a little more than 100 miles north of downtown San Diego, MacKenzie Gore delivered likely his final performance at the High-A level. On the road at Rancho Cucamonga, the 20-year-old struck out nine batters and blanked the opposition over a career-best seven innings. This weekend, Gore could start for the National League in the All-Star Futures Game at Progressive Field. Soon after, he should fly to Texas in advance of his Double-A debut. In scouting circles, there is a growing consensus that no better pitching prospect exists. In 79 1/3 innings with Lake Elsinore, Gore logged a 1.02 ERA to go along with 110 strikeouts. He permitted only 36 hits and 20 walks. The next statistic is even more staggering: On easily the youngest roster in the California League, Gore has not surrendered a single unearned run. “That’s unheard of,” one rival talent evaluator said." theathletic.com/1061256/2019/07/03/qa-with-padres-farm-director-sam-geaney-on-mackenzie-gores-dominance-adrian-morejons-role-and-more/

BTW, if you're an Athletic subscriber thats a great read for Padres fans who care/follow the prospects. Covers a ton of detail and multiple prospects discussed w/ the director of player development.

For some inexplicable reason.....He isn't starting in the Futures Game today.

I'm not concerned, but he is the best pitching prospect in the minors. How about Luis Patiño though...my goodness.

Paddack v Gore in A+
AGE 23 Paddack 20 Gore
Gore 79.1 innings 1.02ERA 0.706 WHIP 12.5 Ks/9Inn Paddack 52.1 Inn 2.24 ERA 0.923 WHIP 14.3 Ks/9Inn
Paddack had a higher K rate but Gore was significantly better in WHIP and ERA.
Gore will be hard pressed to beat Paddack's 1.91 ERA and 0.717 WHIP in 7 AA starts.
Gore's BABIP is .212 Paddack BABIP was .312
Does that .212 mean he was lucky or batters were so over matched they just tried to put the bat on the ball without getting a decent swing?

Don't use K/9, use K%. This avoids pitch limits and avoids skewing the data. Paddack was at 40.9%, Gore is at 38.2%. Paddack was actually better in FIP by a considerable margin, but you have to factor in their ages, plus Gore is working with an INCREDIBLY young defense behind him. Center fielder is 19. Right fielder is 19. Shortstop is 19. Second baseman is 20. Catcher is 20. Gore has an incredibly high LOB% (not sustainable) and has gotten some good BABIP luck this year, but you can look at his LD% to deduce that it is mostly a lot of weak contact.

The FIP difference is based upon the BABIP difference, so you are repeating yourself. At this level I think Gore's very low BABIP could be a result of very weak swings against him. How does pitch limits effect K/9 v K%? The big difference between the two is accounted for via WHIP. You can strikeout the side for 27ks/9 but if you give up a hit and a walk the K% is only 60% not 100%. That is why their K% is much closer. Gore's WHIP being lower closes that K/9 gap when expressed as K%.

Among several roster moves in the minor league system today, Gore has been moved up to Amarillo in the Texas League.

Extremely proud of the way the Padres handled Gore this year. His development is literally the key to a potential World Series run or multiple ones.
