April 13, 20242 yr That ball just jumps off of Quero's bat. He and Lee might be a formidable duo for catching eventually.
April 13, 20242 yr Anyone have velocity readings on Thorpe tonight? I'd be encouraged if he starts averaging 92 mph or so.

April 13, 20242 yr 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, 20242 yr by TaylorStSox

April 13, 20242 yr 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.

April 16, 20241 yr I can’t remember a time when so many of Sox hitting prospects were left handed hitters. Kind of cool.
