Interview: Ike Davis, Reese, Holt and Dylan Owen

by Matthew Cerrone on March 11th, 2009 at 2:30 pm

In St. Lucie, I spent time talking with the team’s top prospects, who set up inside Tradition Field to sign autographs and talk with fans.

To watch the three-minute video of me talking with Dylan Owen, Reese Havens, Ike Davis and Brad Holt, who had more faith in my ability to hit 80 mph on the radar gun than Owen, click play below:


Here’s a written transcript of my exchange with Holt:

  • Matthew Cerrone: Can you give me a scouting report of yourself?
  • Brad Holt: I throw a lot of fastballs.  I’m able to locate fastballs in and out.  And now the breaking ball is coming along pretty well, I’m getting to where I can locate it.  Since I’ve been here we’ve been working on the change-up a lot, and it’s getting a lot more consistent too and I’m able to locate it down in the zone.  But, mainly I just work off the fastball and everything else is coming along.

…it should be noted, off camera, holt’s teammates were yelling, ‘fastball, fastball,’ during his entire answer, which he was trying not to laugh at…
