• After the solo HR was followed by a single, Pimentel reeled off a string of 16 straight batters retired before allowing a walk with one out in the seventh. He induced the next two batters into flyouts to end his outing.

This is one reason why the organization is high on Pimentel: In his last four starts, he has struck out 23 and walked just two in 22 innings. Here is another: He is only 20.

Pimentel’s control at a young age remains marvelous. It will be interesting to see his progression next season, likely at Portland. http://www.nesn.com/...t-rankings.html

Pimentel bounced back with a strong effort in what was likely his final outing of the year on Friday. He pitched 6.00 innings allowing 1 run (1 ER) on 5 hits and 2 walks while striking out 8; he also threw a wild pitch. Unfortunately, the 1 run was too much for Salem’s offense and they lost to Potomac 5-0.

Quick Hits:

• Of the 8 strikeouts, 6 were swinging and 2 were called. The 8 strikeouts tie a career high.

Alex Speier

Red Sox pitcher Stolmy Pimentel, a 21-year-old who is in big league camp now, offers yet another reminder of how dramatically players signed internationally at age 16 grow. (Pimentel was signed by the Sox for just $25,000 in 2006.) The right-hander says that he now is 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds; when he signed, he estimated that he was 6-foot-2 and “so skinny — 170 or something like that”; when he pitched in the Futures at Fenway in 2008, he suggested that he was 185 pounds.

Pimentel said that with his increased size, he feels more power in his pitches, something that has led to a notable uptick in velocity (he touched 95 mph last year for the first time in his career) while also giving him the strength to maintain command.

“This year I feel stronger. Maybe I can throw harder,” said Pimentel. “I worked really hard in the offseason to come in in shape for spring training. I feel ready.”

[Manzivino]

With Spring Training upon us, I realize how swamped I’ve been and thus unable to do an in-depth summary of Pimentel’s 2010 campaign. However, I do want to at least post the numbers comparing his 2010 to his 2009 before the 2011 season gets into full swing.

Stolmy Pimentel 2009 to 2010 Comparison

Year	IP	BF	AB	H	R	ER	BB	HBP	K	GO	FO	BABIP
2009	128.66	554	509	146	65	52	30	7	109	117	142	0.351
2010	128.66	535	484	120	65	58	42	5	102	145	114	0.294
Year	ERA	WHIP	BA	OBP	SLG	2B	3B	HR	H/9	BB/9	K/9	K/BB
2009	3.64	1.37	0.287	0.333	0.428	32	2	12	10.21	2.10	7.62	3.63
2010	4.06	1.26	0.248	0.313	0.397	25	7	11	8.39	2.94	7.13	2.43

Some highlights of the year-to-year differences:

• By sheer coincidence, Pimentel pitched the exact same number of innings in 2010 that he did in 2009 (including his 2 postseason starts in 2009); however, he faced 19 fewer batters in 2010.
• His ERA jumped by 0.4 while allowing the same number of runs in the same number of innings due to 6 fewer runs allowed being ruled unearned.
• His BB/9 jumped by almost a full walk, his K/9 dropped by half a strikeout, but overall numbers remained solid because his H/9 dropped by close to 2 hits and his HR rate remained essentially unchanged.
• Pimentel’s drastic improvement in hit rate was in part driven by a drop in BABIP, from 0.351 to 0.294. This also helps explain the improvement in BA, OBP, and SLG allowed. This corresponds to a reduction in solid contact allowed, particularly LD% (GB/FB/Pop/LD % courtesy of SoxProspects.com’s Stats section: 2009 – 40.3/33.0/8.0/18.8; 2010 – 45.8/35.4/8.5/10.3). Going forward it will be interesting to see the extent to which the decrease in line drives (and consequently the increased number of groundballs turned into outs by a Salem defense better than 2009 Greenville’s) is sustainable.

Pimentel is expected to join the AA rotation in Portland to start the 2011 season.

Stolmy had much better results tonight facing just 21 batters through 6 innings. He allowed 3 hits and a walk, while striking out 7. The Fisher Cats currently boast a team OPS of .659, so grain of salt there, but nice to see nonetheless.

He was obviously overmatched in Portland , but hopefully going down to Salem and getting it right will really help him develop as a player. The Sox have always said they don't mind it if their prospects take a few lumps and experience adversity that way they can gauge how they handle pressure/failure and how well they come back from it. Not saying the sox wanted Stolmy to get hammered in AA, but hopefully in the long run he looks back on this and says that it was for the best..... I remember Daniel Bard's first couple years as a prospect.

I was at the game on Tuesday and he looked terrific. Routinely hitting 95 on the scoreboard gun.

Good to hear. He hit 97 last year, but was very ineffective up there. Which was he throwing more: the slider or the cutter?

I thought the same thing. These are stormy petrels. I remember the old Python routine, "Albatross! Stormy Petrel on a stick! Gannet Ripple!"

I thought the bloody bloomin bird was dead, maybe molting?
