Gunnar's best tool, by far, is his arm?
Hasn't he had a pretty significant number of poor throws this season, to include a pretty iffy one earlier this game?
Everyone should know this already but Hernaiz is playing in the PCL. It's a notorious hitters league. Take his offensive numbers with a grain of salt.

No one here says that.
We've all seen too many big time prospects fail at the highest level.
We dealt with the Switch Hitting Jesus being a pretty average bat for goodness sake.
The guy has a fastball that doesn't play up and all three swung at fastballs in the strike zone. Are they supposed to take those pitches and fall behind in the count?
The three batters for the O's in the first were 5th, 8th and 20th in P/PA in the American league.

All three only swung at strikes.
