inGame: Bobby Parnell is Impressive
…so far, Bobby Parnell has set down the first six Marlins to face him, including Dan Uggla, Mike Jacobs, Josh Willingham and Hanley Ramirez, who struck out looking on an outside fastball…
…the kid has a live arm, the ball just slings from his wrist and tails in to right-handed hitters with ease…for instance, i would guess that he’s throwing in the mid-90s, based on the zip and swings of the hitters, yet he’s only reaching 92 at best…
…in the third, jacobs hit a hanging curve to left for a pop out, while the other two batters gave his fastball quite a ride…he needs to locate the fastball better, and utilize its natural movement…
…that said, he has a legit arm, and, like Jon Niese, works quick and is aggressive…
…he and niese are two solid young pitchers, who we should be excited about…they may never be great, who knows, but to say the Mets have no young minor-league talent is clearly false…
