I dunno.   Decent fastball but not much movement and mediocre command of it; very mediocre secondaries.    I’m not so sure I’d say he has the tools to be good.   

Except maybe a "pitcher's body" (unlike Chris Lee).

Future BP pitcher, Re-do of Tommy Home-Run Hunter.

Got through 2 IP allowing only one hit today, but it sounds like he wasn’t that sharp — 16 of 31 pitches for strikes.

And the last out, a deep fly almost over Adam Jones' head.

How was the velocity?  They said on the radio his first outing was very cutter heavy.  I'd rather see the Mike Wright we saw a glimpse of out of the pen last year.  Sitting Mid 90's with a good slider.

The wind was pushing everything out.

He was mixing in off speed pitches a good amount today.

My buddy on a discord server I'm on is an Astros fan. Liked what he saw in Wright, but said he'd be better set in the BP than starting.

I haven't noticed the uptick in stuff that you see with a lot of guys when they move to the pen and can let loose for an inning or two.

If his stuff out the pen is the same stuff he has starting I don't know if there is a role for him on a competitive club.

We didn't see the cutter last year, I don't think

Brooks doesn't even show him having a cutter.

So it's a new pitch.

Or it is so poor it doesn't register as a distinctive pitch.

Depends on your outlook

Well no.  It is one or the other.  He has either thrown a cutter in the majors or he hasn't.

I get that. I was just commenting on your remark
