NorthSideSox72 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 In truth, most of the affiliates had seasons best described as disappointing overall, but with a few individual highlights. Great Falls though had a very strong year, lots of good performances and in fact their pitching staff was historically good. That's not an exaggeration either, they were staistically incredible. See the season in review to see just how dominant and historic their pitching was. The offense had plenty of good stuff too, especially the outfield.

Yes, his bread and butter is a heavy fastball you might call a sinker. Not much velo, but precision control and his pitches move - was told last year he plays with 2 different fastballs, but heavy. I don't know much on his offspeed pitches though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, that makes sense with his numbers showing a good K rate, but a high BAA. With better defense at higher levels, that will probably improve.

With better defense at higher levels, that will probably improve. He also typically posts high GO/AO numbers as a result. He's a key guy going into 2017 - should be interesting to see how he does in full season ball. Should be at Kanny, and hopefully we can get an in-person look at him. It's impressive he is doing what he's done so far in 2015 and 2016, given he never pitched in DSL and came straight stateside. That is rare for pitchers.

Donaldo Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 In years past, I'd be afraid of Kenny trading each one of these guys away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Kenny still has a say in things...so we'll see. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
