Great to see so many players invited who have been in the organization for several years, usually a majority of NRI’s are older veterans who were signed in the off season to minor league deals with ST invites.
Once again I didn’t get invited. I’m starting to think they’re trying to tell me something.
LOL! Perhaps you should go to one of these hitting coaches to rebuild your swing to increase launch angle and exit velocity? A pitcher? Ever tried the knuckleball? Dodgers just signed a 36 year old knuckleballer, but he did not get a spring training invite.
Actually I did come up with a pretty good sinker in my teens. It was gripped kinda like a splitter, which didn’t exist then, but I held the ball ‘tween my middle and ring fingers. It sunk good but I never figured out how to put it where I wanted to.
Just as well. I probably woulda ended up with the Giants.
…or Tommy John surgery would have been called “Bob Surgery.” 😮
That wouldn’t be 100% bad. Which former major leaguer’s name do we hear most often? Not Babe Ruth, Cy Young (though he’s probably second), or even Jackie Robinson.
BTW, I possibly did need TJS, which didn’t exist yet. My senior year in high school I developed a sharp pain on the inside of my throwing elbow. I made my last try at playing softball in my late 20’s, made one hard throw and it took about a week for the pain to go away.
God blessed me with a great arm, but failed to include control to keep me humble. Let’s just say that hitters did not dig-in when I was pitching.
I voted for you.
I got invited!! … sort of. I’ll be milling about, but outside the lines and in the clubhouse which, when you think about it, is pretty cool.
#blessed
Is there a limit to how many minor leaguers an org can have? Or is it just limited by how many minor league teams they have and how many can be on each roster?
There is no limit on the number of Non-Roster Invitees (NRIs) a team can bring into MLB camp. That being said, the amount of space available in the major league clubhouse often plays a significant role on how many NRIs will be in camp.
Traditionally, the number of NRIs is usually in the 20 to 30 range when camp opens and dwindles down with each passing week of games. By the final week of games, the roster is pretty much the one you will see on Opening Day, although there are usually a few additions and subtractions. (This is why I make it a point to return to ST for those final few games; so that I have a good idea of what to expect on Opening Day).
As noted above, there are usually quite a few catchers in MLB camp in the beginning, this to accommodate the large number of pitchers in camp. Additionally, it is very common to see minor leaguers “wearing white today,” as they call it when they are summoned to play in major league spring training games. (Note: Minor leaguers report for Spring training on Tuesday, March 5, with their respective first full squad workouts on Wednesday, March 6).
Thanks. What I meant was not @ nri’s but in the farm system overall. They have acquired alot of minor leaguers this off season, is there a limit to how many they can have?
