Schweitzer looking okay. Up to 94. Likes to keep the 4 seamer up. Feels like he has added maybe a tick since last year. Slider down is a chase pitch. Good control, but is absolutely trying to get you out outside the zone.

2IP so far for Schweitzer. 0H 0 R 1BB 3K. Basically a 2 pitch pitcher, but he throws up and down, and changes speeds on the slider. Also shows a curveball. Might be a candidate for a kick change. First 6 Knights have struck out.

Ooops...still think they will end up going Nastrini or Iriarte for lack of any other viable options.

Maybe. Nastrini looked pretty good last night. Fastball command is the sticking point as usual with him.

Schweitzer only threw 40% of his pitches in the zone, was constantly falling behind and when he did and knew he had to throw a strike, he seemed to throw handing sliders. His command was pretty solid in AA so I'm going to assume this was just nerves in his AAA debut. He was also just a two pitch pitcher (FF/SL), if you're going to succeed as a lefty you have to throw a change up.
