If Samol can get the control down I could see him as one of our weekend starters before the end of the year. A good lefty starter is a big plus especially in our ball park. Samol looks very relaxed with his delivery and at 6'8" he can be a monster. He appears to throw mid 90's with ease. If he can control that over the top curve ball he can be really tough. I'm looking forward to his progression throughout the year.
Hopefully, much better than Bartnicki!
He’s definitely a huge development project for ‘ol Borrell. (LOL. No pun intended!)
Hmmmmmm. Is that really what we are aiming for? The next Bartnicki?
That’s a really low bar.
You decided that about a true freshman who has only made a handful of appearances???? And one of those appearances being in 40 degrees weather with a lot of wind??
Exactly my point. I haven’t been that impressed, hence the comparison to Bartnicki
He got the yips and was never the same. Couldn’t throw a strike to save his life
100%
I agree. Well said.
Smh you don’t know much about baseball do you? Kid had Tommy John in 2021 and didn’t play 2020 because of COVID. Despite missing two years of high school ball he is arguably the most talented pitcher on our roster. How can you not be impressed with an over the top 90+ mph fastball from a lefty who also throws a 11-6 curve and has great movement on his two seam at 91? LOL
It was a good [effective] pitching performance.
Pitchers need to help themselves & each other out on D.Thanks. I didn't get to watch any of it and so was wondering.It was a good [effective] pitching performance.
-3 solo HRs (solo HRs won't kill you).
-1 unearned run .. although the error was an exchange between 2 pitchers.
- 1 run in mop up duty in 9th.
Giving up 5 runs is a formula for winning a lot of games for this team.
