That camera made it look like he throwing from about 45 feet.  I guess you would get 11 strikeouts if your pitching from little league mound.

 

He really leans way back when he starts his wind-up.

Look at him hit the mitt on almost every one of those strikeout pitches. Looks like a man against boys. He needs to be moved up to AA, because in all honestly, if he throw four pitches like that he belong in the majors right now, but since that's not going to happen, let's get him against some better hitters.

He looks like a future ace, honestly. 

Barring health (and many other things surely) yea it’s starting to look like his ceiling is astronomical. But that’s obviously best case scenario. Very exciting to watch him develop. Wouldn’t shock me if he’s the number one “pitching prospect” in all of baseball by next spring  

Also looks like he’s cleaned up his arm action a bit and toned down the drastic Ubaldo-esque arm dip before getting his arm into throwing position. Hoping/guessing that’s helped his command?

Yep..he should be in AA very soon.  I just wonder if they will oblige with that?

Yeah Ryan Weathers who was picked 4 slots ahead of him is pitching in the majors tonight and both were drafted out of high school.  Weathers was more refined coming out of high school but I don’t see him as being 3 levels farther up the chain the Greyson.  Weathers went directly from A ball in 2019 then to majors this season.  The Padres are in different situation for sure but if he isn’t in Bowie by end of month the way he is pitching I will be upset.

    • It’s called venting, montezuma’s revenge-o.
    • It did look like they already have their game legs back--maybe in time to make that dream come true. I live in Brooklyn and it's going to be a challenge to hold my place and my lip in the sports bars over the next three days (unless I go to one filled with Mets fans who are just letting one screen tune into the game in the Bronx).
    • Haha, yeah--Try to "Mooo!" that and see what happens.
    • Adley was 2022, not sure if Gunnar was 2022 or 2023, I think he was also 2022.
    • Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations. 
    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
