Freeman was 88-92 according to the Batavia gun. This kid should be getting a lot more attention than he is. He is only 20! Youngest pitcher on the staff. Very good breaking ball and changeup also.

You’re being awfully charitable Lou. I’m still not sure how it defends the misrepresentation of Taveras. That you can actually find one scout that down on the kid is doubtful. Two? Not buying it. If Newman were pressed about his 2 scouts, wonder if he could come up with legitimate names.

The Braves pitchers had a stress free postseason period to rehabilitate.

I asked Brian Walton about Jesus Montero here’s his insight on him. “Short, stout. Good d, emerging bat”

Saw Montero quite a bit in spring, he’s got a cannon and quick feet. Very underrated guy. Seems to be finally catching on with the bat. He does remind me of a young Molina.

I followed his pitches that inning on MLB.com and he must have thrown at least 15 pitches 98-100mph. If he did the exact same thing in Springfield, then I cannot see the gun that much different. I also saw Sam Freeman the very same night and his radar readings were the same as when he pitched for St. Louis last month. Both in relief. How does that get explained?

He did not get tested. I can you tell that he had a quicker feet/exchange and stronger arm than Auburn’s catcher. I’m just saying that based on their throws down to second at the beginning of each inning. The Auburn’s catcher, you could tell he was trying to do it as fast as possible and he still could not top Montero
