also, who cares about him not having a mid-90’s fastball. he clearly can locate and mix up his pitches and throw several pitches for strikes. that is the key. have we not learned that yet? are we still awed by mid-90’s fastballs by kids who can’t locate? seriousy guys…let’s move past that b.s.

but he doesnt have several pitches and this is the first year has shown improvements in walking people…. averaged 5BB/9 before this year between the GCL and A+

that is what top pitchers do in the minors. they dominate minor league hitters. this remains my concern about savery. he has yet to show at any level (including college) the ability to dominate hitters and put them away.

What an exciting team reading will have with this guy.

Kendrick was recalled from Reading on June 12th of last year after 12 starts. I would suspect a promotion to Reading soon for Bastardo based on Razor’s comments and past history. If they want to jump start the woebegone AAA franchise they might send him right to Lehigh Valley.
