Welcome to high ceiling pitching prospect, high octane name day.

 

If only we could get Cease in there. I can only imagine how giddy Chicago sports headline writers would be if he and Steel make it to the majors.

Blackburn isn't really a high ceiling pitching prospect.

The one that I used to mix up with Underwood. Good numbers in Low A, but doesn't throw overly hard or K people. Good feel for pitching. Young version of Hendricks.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Wait, then who the hell is Underwood?

balls?

I too mix up Blackburn and Underwood. Both great porn names and were taken back to back.

[Brian]

Pierce Johnson isn't bad either, and same draft (right?)

[rawaction]

Wait, then who the hell is Underwood?

 

Hard throwing, works low-to-mid 90s, hits mid-to-high 90s. Not as good of a feel for pitching yet, but good peripherals. Strikes out people. Walks some people.

I'm worried about raw.

Amazing how one promotion makes me care about these threads so much less.

Which is why I said it's amazing (and I said it makes me care less, not not at all.)

Anyone know who the pitching coaches are for Iowa and Tenn?
