They worked him out yesterday, must have liked what they saw.

Yeah Buck and Wallace were both there.

What type of pitcher is this guy? Does he throw a knuckleball or have some sort of deceptive delivery?

I can't see anything to like in those minor league numbers, particularly the K/H ratio is very low for a prospect.

Maybe you should study some film.

Agreed -- in this case I think it was a scouting decision. Like Murph said, "must have liked what they saw". Hey it's just a flier so, if Fornataro found something that sticks, all gravy.
