TheBooneLoganEra Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 That ball just jumps off of Quero's bat. He and Lee might be a formidable duo for catching eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseball_gal_aly Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Anyone have velocity readings on Thorpe tonight? I'd be encouraged if he starts averaging 92 mph or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is sold. He’s in the minor leagues still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorStSox Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) I can't figure out how Thorpe projects, but after watching his change up over dozens of hitters, it's the best pitch that's came through the Sox system since Sale's slider. There's multiple variations of the pitch, and they're all nasty. He can make it tail or sink based off the match up. Originally, I compared him to Radke, but I also see a lot of RH Jose Quintana. I'd also rank Cease's 4 seamer up there. It's the heaviest 98 you'll ever see. Edited April 13 by TaylorStSox 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 If you'd like to feel a bit more pessimistic, Colson's HR only had a 91mph EV. Doubt it gets out of many/any MLB ballparks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I can’t remember a time when so many of Sox hitting prospects were left handed hitters. Kind of cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
