Extremely funny to me to watch the narrative train roll on about Anthony Solometo's "funky" "deceptive" delivery yet none of those same outlets have a word to say about Zander Bleuth.

That's damn-near Chris Sale from the right side.

Can only imagine the hype he'd be getting if they went underslot at 1.1 in order to sign him.

Mueth “throws from a tough angle that varies from low three-quarters to fully sidearm.”

So a .666 angle?

Do lefty arms only get the “funky” term just like lefty hitters are the only ones who get the “sweet swing” term?

That's probably the more generous interpretation.
