Dick Allen Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I don't know if Purcey is much of a prospect, but you have to think he is very nervous making his debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 5, 2013 -> 06:21 PM) How has Phegley been behind the plate? Pretty solid blocking curve balls in the dirt and wide.0-2 in throwing out base stealers but stolen more on the pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 REading into Baseball America's subscriber content on Phegley, it's some stuff I've never heard of before. They basically say he didn't deserve the Gold Glove last year, but he has gotten very good at throwing out baserunners (48% caught last year). The book has been that he is excellent at blocking baseballs, but terrible at catching balls. They consistently comment each year on the high amount of passed balls and insist that these are not pitches that he fails to block, which is very strange.

Hopefully he's just overthrowing it, cause if not, he will not last long at this level. I'm trying to give him a pass on that today. He's hardly thrown one in a location where I can even evaluate it. Former back-to-back "Best Slider in Padres org." winner from BA. They commented entering this season that the pitch had regressed as had his mechanics. Supposedly a tireless worker, which makes his regression pretty confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
