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.

    • The only reason Ort is still on the 40 man roster is that they have not needed his spot yet.   And with 38 on the 40 man roster that may not be the reason he is DFA.   He will probably go to make room for Held, McGough or Richmond.
    • This is no big deal ….He has a right to have an opinion. I believe Holiday was called up too soon. I  also believe the front office was pressured by Hollidays father and agent. 
    • When he first came up, his slider was very mediocre and only really used as a get me over change of pace. Now it seems like a weapon. I wonder if he went to school with Professor Bradish for that.
    • Yeah, kinda why I asked the question. That seems real lofty for a comparison.
    • After a really disappointing April that saw his ERA balloon to 7.78, Alex Pham has found his bearings in May, allowing 3 ER in 14.1 IP, allowing 8 hits and 4 walks while striking out 17.   Yesterday Pham allowed a run on 2 hits and a walk in 4.2 innings, striking out 7.   53 of 72 pitches were strikes.  The sole run charged to Pham scored when reliever Kyle Virbitsky allowed a 2-out double to the first batter he faced after relieving Pham in the fifth.    Due to the poor start, Pham’s ERA still rests at an unimpressive 5.29, but he’s definitely been headed in the right direction.  Also, he’s struck out 40 batters in 34 innings.     
    • I can’t emphasize enough how stupid that rain delay was.  No rain at all for 45 minutes, then two hours of light mist, the kind that teams play through all the time.  I was standing near the kids play area during most of the delay and believe me, that rain didn’t deter any kids from using the playground equipment for two hours. Then, 15 minutes before the game is going to start, the grounds crew is watering the infield.  What? The game itself was not worth the wait, needless to say.   But what annoys me most is the complete lack of communication during these delays.  How about letting the fans who are there know what the thinking is about how long the delay will be?  How about an update every 30 minutes or so.   Nope, nothing.   Just a generic message on the scoreboard saying that the start of the game will be delayed to to the “threat” of inclement weather.   My phone was showing .05” of rain expected in the next six hours.  Some threat! On the bright side, the team did announce that ticket holders would be given vouchers that could be used for a Monday - Thursday game.  That was the least they could do.
