I wonder who else was on the PTBNL list. Certainly seems like we should have picked someone else......

Their motions are remarkably similar, but Mueth throws 3-4 mph harder.

Same. Fastball has so much movement on it. Impossible for hitters to square up on, especially in the lower levels

The Marauders can be a trying team to watch as their pitching staff is uneven. They have 4 pitchers who average 9 or more walks per 9 innings, Furtado, Hernandez, Jimenez , and Tyler Kennedy (whose numbers almost defy belief). These guys pitch regularly, so you are going to see at least one of them most of the time. I know that none of the organizations at this level are worried about winning games, but it is a little disheartening to see one of them warming up.

Man, I hope Burrows is not the next Kingham.

Who was the better prospect pre TJS?

I probably got spoiled a bit seeing Barco’s first few games back. His command was pretty good right away. That’s not normal.

Only a few appearances back but would much rather he hit the ground running. Hope we are just shaking off some rust

Great question, Mike Burrows. Easy grade better on the fastball and curveball and the changeup gains pre-TJS might've pulled his offspeed even with Kingham.

Kingham peaked in an era where we were far less critical of pitching prospects.

I liked Kingham more.
