Our #1 Prospect Makes Minor League Debut - MLB The Show 23 Franchise | Ep.12

- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- It's Year 2 in the MLB The Show 23 Franchise with the Oakland Athletics. Our first year only saw the team win 56 games with the weakest roster in baseball. After an offseason to overhaul things we welcome veterans to the team that should make us more competitive. At the same time, an impressive draft class from last year should be able to develop and come close to making a major league impact. We're making progress, but how much can we expect to improve in Year 2?
The A's are the toughest team for Franchise mode in MLB The Show this year, with their weak roster, struggling farm system, and the lowest budget in baseball. The rebuild of this team won't be easy. And there aren't many future stars already on the roster. We need to scout, develop, and completely change this team to succeed in the rebuild.
On my MrHurriicaneLP channel I make sports gaming lets play series. My series focus on building teams and players from sports like baseball and football. I play games such as Madden 23, NCAA Football 14, MLB The Show 23 and more.

Imo I feel like until you get the team closer to .500 ball you should keep the seasons at a faster pace, focusing more on scouting and player locks with the young guys
My sentiments exactly. I've been saying this.
@@RonnieG yeah nobody wants to watch a bunch of games of a bad team but I like watching the young players develop at least
Yup that's the basic plan. More time will be spent prior to the draft and trade deadline. This year will probably be very similar to Year 1 in terms of structure. We just have more prospects to take a look at this time around.
@@MrHurriicaneLP yeah I think the gameplay focus should be put on the top prospects in the minors and the young players in the show so we can follow their journey more since I would assume 70% of the roster won’t be here in year 4
I think you should grab a couple players with high discipline .. 85+ if possible just to get more guys on base. I like to have at least 3 of those on my roster tire pitchers out and see how good the bullpens are
I think keeping the seasons at a faster pace until the team starts pushing for the playoffs. Keep the series moving and get lots of seasons in so the young players can develop
I will stop watching any other video if I see the Oakland A’s pop up
perfectly explained my guy🤣🤣
I literally just did that lol
Same! I drop everything to watch it. His videos are amazing.
Rather watch this than the real team(unless mason Miller is pitching) 😭😭
Glazing is wilddd
I personally really like watching the young guys in the minors, so the pacing has been really nice so far, but I would enjoy spending considerable time down there, particularly with Donn, Cam Cope and Estrella
I genuinely CRAVE these videos. I cannot get enough of these. MLB content has all of my attention lol. Love the videos Cane! Keep it up!
First series I’ve seen of yours and it’s really well done. I usually struggle through the rebuild part of UA-camr franchises but you’ve done a good job of not making it too elongated and still making it interesting while the team isn’t very good
U should watch his Minnesota Golden Gophers and Kalispell Warhawks dynasty. They are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cane is the goat bro
Welcome
Cane is legit
Hoglund has a Greinke flavour to him, skills wise. Not throwing flames, but filthy off-speed stuff.
I don’t know if Mason Miller is even in your organization in the game but he’s been pitching really good in real life for the A’s after only pitcher 29 minor league innings
I think he has miller at aaa
He was throwing a no-no before getting pulled the other day. The real life As in a nutshell lol.
Crazy to see Capel on the roster considering you were Double A teammates with him the 2022 road to the show series…
Binge watching this and his Titans series. He's easily the best overall sports channel on YT.
easily. i struggle to watch others
I laughed so hard when you brought in the relief pitcher against the Diamondbacks and he immediately gave up a 2 run double to tie the game. Lol.
Try to do a few rounds of discovery with your 3rd scout (I do 4-6 runs, maybe less) . You can find some top ranked guys you won't find otherwise
I enjoy the player lock, which makes it too where you can see exactly how your team plays instead of you hitting and pitching for everyone....no shade tho
Aaron Don's average exit velo was like 75 mph, every ball that hits his bat instantly becomes deadened
By far the best franchise UA-camr of all time! Makes every other franchise unwatchable lol
For real, I can't stand the Bengal types who don't care one bit about realism. (Maybe Bengal has changed I haven't watched him in years)
While sometimes I think Cane can go a bit too far with it (please adjust the passing sliders in the Titans franchise for God sakes) it generally makes the franchise so much better.
Octongal Gaming is an underrated channel and he puts a lot of care in his franchises
Yeah everyone else sucks
"just hit the cutoff man, noodle arm!"- me watching Aaron Don try and throw out runners lol
A general rule of thumb I think you should follow in regards to scouting the bullpen: don't look at CP/RP ranks by themselves, but combine them and find the middle ranking for them combined. That's much more important since you can change their position and that will make it much easier for you
Just wanted to say, your videos kept me entertained for my entire drive from New Hampshire to Kansas, so thank you for making quality content like this
Yknow Cane you make very specific content I really don't see on UA-cam. Like lots of people play sports games. However, their stuff is usually based on big moments or crazy builds or ultimate team. You do these straightforward franchise playthroughs and you commentate and play it pretty straight.
It's certainly not for everyone but I was just thinking that I've probably been watching your channel for literally years now. It's a little niche hidden gem of a channel.
Your detail and commitment to making these as thorough as possible is super impressive and it’s super fun to watch, I do think you should go at a faster pace though, until you’re at least in contention for a playoff spot
I agree with others here about focusing more on the minor leagues until the big leagues team is better.
But a few big league games here and there to highlight a young pitcher like you did or player lock is ok.
Hoglund reminds me of Yonny Chirinos in the Rockies Franchise. Just the way he pitches and the amount of movement on those pitches.
Geraldo Perdomo seems like he really fits what you're trying to do in this franchise, Cane.
Before you get to far in scouting you might be able to get the best out of Don in left feild. You can find a guy with a stronger arm for center
That gunner pitching game was a great game called by you. And the umpires were awful that game!
Love Getting the game winning RBI in my 1st MiLB Game, will remember that for sure
Great format so far cane really focusing on the young guys that will be with the eventual contending teams and younger guys in the major team we don’t need to see gameplay of the badteam with guys that aren’t gonna be here when the teams actually good loving this series so far!
Don definitely feels like an old school contact hitter. Thinking like Ichiro (one could dream) without the arm. Might be an incredible leadoff guy.
Single A is actually a really good way to ensure that they will develop in the long term. After 1 year they will be able to put up stats in double a and get huge development. I would say any hitter with high potential and below 65 overall would benefit from a year in single a.
I'm loving the videos!!! Just a tip if you let your pitcher comes set before you throw the pitch you'll hit your spots better. You'll have better command
Aaron Dunn should play left field so that the weak arm doesn't hurt him as much
Mound visits are good assets for letting pitchers warm up in the bullpen as well as boosting the confidence of a struggling pitcher, like when Hudson couldn’t find the zone
My first draft pick with my As was a 78 overall, 99 potential 2B. I think he was the highest overall player on the team at the start of that offseason.
Possible move for Don would be to look at him more as a left fielder until his arm improves.
I am enjoying the longer videos. Helps work go alot faster since I work 3rd shift lol
I think, the pacing is exactly right in this episode. You did 3 weeks right? Also loved the mix of showcases, scouting and a featured game. I wouldn't even mind, if you skipped a complete game once in a while in favor of more prospect player locks in AA and AAA.
About Aaron Don, in Road to the Show, it made sense to set fielding opportunities to "all" in order to get every reaction and accurate throw stat. Could we get more out of those player lock games that way? You mentioned thought that Franchise doesn't update ratings for a month or so, even though every game has XP gained. So, I 'm not sure whether it would make a difference.
When you pitch I think you should try to let your pitcher come to a set stop then throw your not getting called for Balks but I experienced that if I let my pitchers come set then throw it helps
One thing I have noticed which may not be reliable, A players don’t regress. They should only get better. So if the player is a 58 overall it might be better to have them at A to get positive progression to multiple abilities than have them at AA and possible regress if they struggle
I love watching your videos and I’m enjoying this series more than your other baseball series. I’m not a fan of the A’s, but just the difficulty of this rebuild makes it interesting. I wonder if you’ve ever considered trying to get a player like Brandon Lowe from the Rays. The A’s actually made an offer for him in my season and I’m the Rays. I turned it down though. Anyway, he’s 28 (probably 29 in your franchise now), he’d be an improvement for you at 2nd base, and I believe his salary is only 3-4 million a year.
The first player is a generational player. If the player is 18 and ranked 1st in the class, they are always 99 ovr potential, high 70s low 80s starting ovr. Generational SPs are really rare too, hope he drops to you
No better feeling than when you see a cane video over an hour long!!
The crazy thing is Hoglund shouldve probably had a shutout had the 3rd baseman got the out at 1st instead of trying for the impossible out at 2nd.
This series is getting better and better.
Lotta speed on the D Bags! 😂
Hey Cane! Great video.
I was wondering, would you ever consider doing an NHL video on this channel or the main channel? NHL would be very interesting, and I’m sure a lot of people would be able to learn about hockey.
Go A’s!
I’ve been doing your player lock thing for my franchise rn for prospects and everything and I wish it was possible to still make managerial decisions throughout the game
You should look into getting Cooper Hummel as a backup catcher. Hes not a great hitter or fielder but he gets on base. Basically the perfect 2nd catcher to have.
You gotta be more aggressive on the basepaths Cane!! Throwing home taking that 2nd🙌 leaving too many runs out on the field IMHO.
Aaron don reminds me of Charlie Blackmon. Good contact with ok power and ok field with a noodle arm. Also good lead off hitter to
I'm so obsessed with this series but I do think trying to get through these first couple years a little faster would be ok. Would hate for it to get stale with the team miring in mediocrity too long.
It would be so interesting if you did something like this for your Madden series in the future, as well. Say you play an episode as Connor Knox (player locked) or as Hasaan Haskins in the future if/when he takes over from Derrick Henry in your Titans franchise.
I personally love the long content. Just found your channel and im hooked!!! Love the content. WAs wondering how often you stream??
there’s normally better closers in the draft class so you should scout for closers and just change some of those guys to relief pitchers
the legend of tony buckets continues! keep at it cane! cant wait to see the new park soon....
Good stuff as always. Looking forward to seeing more scouting for the next draft as well as more time spent on the draftees from last year. Take care and keep up the good work.
If Aaron Don is fast tracked he will remind me of Alek Manoah
Yeah or mike trout 🤣🤣 you don’t know if you don’t try but I agree the sweet spot to bring 18 year olds up this year seems to be 21
Hey cane -not sure if this was addressed or not, but you can take a pitcher out during player lock games manually. That way if you want to play it safe with a pitcher you can take them out before they potentially get hit around on.
This series is 🔥
Guess that’s why they are moving to Vegas so new scoreboard straight away center at the new stadium!
the check swing animation doesn’t matter, it’s the hitters discipline rating. the higher it is the lower chance it’s called a strike
I wouldn’t rush Don. He’s only 18 so he’s got lots of time to improve!
I can't wait to see this team once the younglings comes to the majors
Never ever scout position. Choose only scouts with high efficiency, pitchers, and position player ratings. I try to have one pitcher specialist and 2 position specialists. Then find players predicted to go near your picks, and scout the guys with the highest potential ranges.
I’ve had draft classes of 6+ A and B potential players this way.
Discovery has no noticeable benefits this year because you get a very large prospect pool to start with plenty of talent. There is no reason to scout positions because you still have to choose very specific criteria for the players. You’re better off getting a high percentage completed on a player that you’re interested in and will have a chance to take.
Looking at Don with his build and abilities I see Andrew Benintendi. That would be perfect for what you're building. Just my thoughts. I really enjoy these. Thank you
Aaron Don giving off Tony Gwynn vibes
The Fujinami game was when he got pulled in the first inning. I don't remember if he got an out
Hey Cain I can’t remember if you know this but I’m pretty sure you can check the control and break on individual pitches when your on their player card to see what pitches they have the best command of
The fact that Madrigal is batting under .100 and has also yet to draw a walk? I think that's the easiest DFA you'll find.
Try doing perfect strike zone, you don’t get cheated.
Cane likes it as realistic as possible, and sadly getting cheated on calls is realistic lol
Definitely continue player lock games especially for the top prospects.
Love the series Cane!
In the future bring in a regular reliver to finish an inning then the long reliver to start the next inning.
Need this everyday
Closers generally fall to the end of the first round/early second round so don’t prioritize them at pick 3
Aaron don is very exciting but I really want to keep an eye on Luis estrella
You can cancel player lock in the menu somewhere to take over manger decisions in those moments to help the CPU not mess good things up lol(in the substitution menu for player i believe. Not sure.
Poor hoglund. Woulda had no runs if not for nick Gordon probably.
Great quality start.
Id definitely move Gordon to 2nd primarily.
I think when you have the umpire stuff on personalized, they make mistakes with check swings also. Just like they do with strikes and getting it wrong when it comes to safe or out at bases.
Congrats on getting a win with an As starting pitcher
Put Don's training focus on weight room, his other stats will still improve along with the power.
Would be good to see Mason miller a chance as he’s looking sharp in real life
I rather have you focus more on the prospects in the minors this year because I do not the As are doing much this season. It could build a stronger bond/connection between the fans and players before they enter the majors
Until you get a few players you've drafted & developed I'm happy with a faster paced player lock mode showcase. It's not too fun watching a full game/livestream of a team that's not really yours yet. Also get better scouts if possible. You're moneyball. You need to have great scouts.
50:26 "Kay K's Carroll!"
If Brian Anderson and Nick Gordon are on the field at the same time, Anderson needs to be in the infield over Gordon
I think you should edit Dean's physique a bit. It's strange to see someone so big with 90+ speed 😅
Spanish fan here , nice video.
make sure to give all your generated pitchers unique windups
Quick szns until the team gets good
Lets do as many years as possible & let youngsters develop
Mason Miller has been filthy irl
Don needs to play left field with that weak arm lol😅
I think it’s better to scout out closers. The players you will find will not give you length but there seem to be a lot better closer prospects than relievers.
Agree, unless you pick a reliever like top 25 (which you shouldnt) Most relievers are 74-79 from what I have seen so far
1 minuted in and we're already talking about scouting more relievers.
Please.
No more relievers in the draft
You can still warm up and sub a pitcher in player lock
Would it be possible to change Justin Dean’s # to 5? he wore it coming up in the minor leagues
14:04 Something a Dodger fan like me NEVER wants to hear.
50:26 when my wife packs her bags and leaves
I think third base and ss we should focus on
Personally I think it’s better to scout CP over RP because closers usually have higher K/9 and clutch which is very important for simming
Name a better combo than cane and outfielders with weak arms
You could make a 12-hour video and I’d find a way to plow through it. You do you and I’m sure everyone here will watch it
