Yamamoto vs Poteet Game one. 

Big MO does look like he slimmed down. 

Yamamoto is nasty right off the bat.

[Crusader]

Yeah, Mo isn’t so big anymore. Nice to see Alcantara take Yamamoto to RF on a pitch outside.

The ABS is gonna be such a game changer, love it

Poteet throwing 96? Did he throw that hard last year? Fast gun? Or are the Cubs already getting him to gain some velocity?

Yamamoto also only topped out at 96, so it looks pretty accurate. Workman looks like he might be a keeper. I’d already rather have him than Brujan.

Yeah velo looks like it was up about an MPH, though we'll see if that sticks as he lengthens out

Quickest hot take ever. 1 AB each before this.

[Bertz]

Oh jeez Bobby Miller

It's usually a good sign when the ball goes flying, but scary

[CubinNY]

little bit o batting practice for both teams.

Alcantara looks like he might be a keeper. I'd already rather have him than PCA.

[Bertz]

Extremely early returns but Workman's defense appears to be as advertised

Why not both?

Kim looks like a high schooler.

LH bat. Good size. I like his swing path. Moves well for being 6’4. Had good hands and made some solid plays on some non routine plays.
 

Brujan just doesn’t excite me. He looked quick on his stolen base, I guess. 🤷‍♂️ 

[Bertz]

Brad Keller's velo was WAY up

[Rob]

Oppo taco for Workman. I like it.

[squally1313]

Have we talked about how Workman's middle name is Tater

I’m just messing around. I don’t like Brujan either. But Workman never played abive AAA. And does Workman play the outfield? 

[Crusader]

Keller looked solid. He touched 97 in a limited appearance. Workman with an oppo bomb off a lefty. Not too bad.

Jack Neely's mustache gives him some Henry Cavill in Mission Impossible

Is it common in spring training for the teams to have the same color?

[chibears55]

He did have a couple really nice swings. His second hit he really went down and got a low pitch and hit it hard.
