afraid aggressive body pitchers pitches present strike tendency three tremendous wants
He's just about everything that you want. He's 6-foot-7 and has tremendous body control. He has three present pitches and a tremendous feel for pitching. He's aggressive and isn't afraid of contact. Young pitchers have a tendency to want to strike everyone out, but he just wants to get them out.
anybody body charge command control good high kid mature physically pitches rare school
He is as advertised. He is very very mature for a high school kid and he is physically in charge of his body for a 6-foot-7 guy. That's very rare to see anybody who has good body control and command of his pitches with his size. He is very good.
biggest swing
The biggest thing is getting him healthy. It's not that anything has deteriorated. It's being able to get him to swing the bat.
athlete book extremely talented
The book on him is he's an extremely talented athlete with a big ceiling.
biggest design draft felt
It wasn't by design. It's because that's what we felt this draft had as its biggest value.
ability good guys stuff
It's can you win? These guys can win. It's a combination of having good stuff and having the ability to win.
body good high nice per projection school sticks stuff work
What sticks out about him is for how big he is, he has very good body control. He has a really nice delivery. This is not a work in progress. This isn't a projection guy, per se. There is always projection in high school kids. But there is a lot of good stuff already in place here with him.
eight forgetting free hard missed oh throws time
We missed eight free throws in the first half. Man, oh man, oh man, oh man. I'll have a hard time forgetting about this one.
feet mound throwing
We wanted him to get his feet back on the ground, to get him back on the mound throwing and improving.
emergency permitted
We think that the emergency is that FGUA has permitted too many hook-ups. I think it's an overcapacity issue.
extra needed
This is big for Chris. He needed some extra at-bats.
both eventually expected good guys hitting potential reach start
Ramirez and Andino both have the potential to be very good with the bat. Guys like that eventually start hitting the way they are expected when they reach the big leagues.
best build next
If we can't build in Lehigh, the next best thing is to build on the periphery.
close feeling hitting
She was very close to hitting that one. She was feeling it at that point.
