Hey LJ! Hey I did watch the cutup of his 1st appearance, it was basically just a really quick inning and tough to note much! The velo was what you want to see, at least, and I’ll be watching him closely today.
Well that was quick! We got to see more pitches from Snelling today, and so did the Phillies. Honestly wasn't near as bad as the line indicates. He was all around the zone and got nothing borderline called. FA was mostly good, just too many breakers left over the heart and not finished/buried properly. Most of the contact wasn't that great, at least. Really his worst pitch was the flyout that Schwarbs just got under. This will be a good lesson imo. I still think he's ready by early/mid May and can make a positive impact.
I viewed the cutup video, as I am working overtime to get the big update out tmrw, so I couldn't fully dive in...but it looked like he was just getting ahead in the zone and then forcing chase--esp with the FA when he got two strikes. I saw more separation in the movement between his curve and slider, really finishing the curve--burying it and not leaving it over the heart like last time out. I haven't seen him give up a single barrel yet this Spring. It's good stuff!
Sometimes it all just comes together! The fatigue on him is what it is, but I still love the ingredients. Draft capital has still been largely affordable considering the sort of ceiling he can sport. LFG!
thanks! did you get a chance to see Snelling?

hey steven, i see Snelling's line was a lot better today - anything noteworthy beyond the obvious? thanks!
