Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-20-14

[Thrilho]

Amlung dominated tonight. In his 7 innings he walked nobody, threw 51 strikes in 71 pitches, K'd 5, had a 8-4 GF/AO, and allowed only three singles. One bunt single, one infield single, and a line drive to center.

 

Anyone know what he's been working with?

 

88-92 FB, average slider, change.

 

 

Thanks Raisin. Arguello had this in his notes this morning:

 

"Amlung has starters stuff: 90-93 mph FB, curve, slider, change"

 

He doesn't address how good the secondaries have looked or what time frame he's looking at for the velo, but 90-93 sounds pretty good if he keeps this production up. He's got 18Ks to 1 BB in his last 21.1 innings.
