He hasnt pitched since May, smh. Par for the course, thats why none of these pitching prospects have panned out.
August 28, 20179 yr So lets let this kid blow his arm out before the season is over, make sense. He hasnt pitched since May, smh. Par for the course, thats why none of these pitching prospects have panned out. He's been throwing bullpens for weeks.
August 29, 20179 yr So lets let this kid blow his arm out before the season is over, make sense. He hasnt pitched since May, smh. Par for the course, thats why none of these pitching prospects have panned out. What in the world are you talking about?
August 29, 20179 yr What in the world are you talking about? 93% of his pitches over 100 mph, thats a recipe for disaster for an 18 year old kid.
August 29, 20179 yr Now I remember why I quit going into Reds threads. I swear BGP has become so much more readable since his posts don't show up for me any more.
August 29, 20179 yr 93% of his pitches over 100 mph, thats a recipe for disaster for an 18 year old kid. So you don't want him pitching then? You think he should go SS full time? What is the appropriate age to throw 100?
August 29, 20179 yr So you don't want him pitching then? You think he should go SS full time? What is the appropriate age to throw 100? Its not that he can reach 100, its that hes throwing nothing but 100. At that rate he will be Dr. Andrews best client before he is 21.
August 30, 20179 yr Its not that he can reach 100, its that hes throwing nothing but 100. At that rate he will be Dr. Andrews best client before he is 21. For your information it's not fastballs that hurt your arm, it's curves and sliders that cause most of the problems.
August 30, 20179 yr Author I swear BGP has become so much more readable since his posts don't show up for me any more. I never could do that as a Mod, but I can now. :dancingpa
August 30, 20179 yr Its not that he can reach 100, its that hes throwing nothing but 100. At that rate he will be Dr. Andrews best client before he is 21. So what do you recommend?
