Spring Training Game 2: Nova, Killer B’s, Sanchez
It’s here, televised baseball. While it might not feel the same, it’s a milestone. Weather is changing, spring is coming, everyone , and real baseball is only a few weeks away. For now we get to watch the guys we haven’t seen in months take bats, and the guys we’ve never seen at all shutout Jimmy Rollins. The weather might not indicate it, but today feels a little closer to summer, a little closer to summer baseball.

It’s not real baseball, but after the long offseason I’ll take it.
We’re only a month away from the real stuff.
I like what I’m seeing from Banuelos so far. Can’t tell velocity, but he’s moving the fastball around and showing a good change. Haven’t seen any curveballs yet.
I saw a healthy amount of curves, they had good break but he couldn’t command them very well, I think that is the pitch he really has to get consistent with.
It tends to get pretty loopy on him from time to time. If he cleans that pitch up he’s got a starters repertoire, the command just has to get better.
Betances is in. Nice movement on the fastball, but has no idea where it’s going right now. Gary Sanchez catching him probably isn’t helping matters either.
Sanchez wasn’t framing the pitches very well, but Betances control was unacceptable.
Its that back leg, you could tell when his pitch was a strike (back leg was slightly straighter, more rigid) and when he was going to airmail it. He needs balance training.
He’s 6’8 and has no idea what his mechanics are suppose to feel like, he’s going to need to rapidly improve that to be anything more than a back end starter with good stuff and bad command.
You can see how eletric his stuff is, it just leaps out at you, but that’s the control you can see with him. He just loses his mechanics really easy, and he has a hard time being consistent inning to inning, which is why some people suggest he should be a pen guy.
I disagree i think he has an idea what his mechanics should be but as I said its his back-leg collapsing which I could see several times through his inning that he would end up straightening out. (when he threw a strike, you can see the leg as it should be)
When he’s right, Betances lower half should look similar to tim lincecum’s legs when he’s driving because of the relatively long stride he takes compared to his body. But it also contributes to the back leg folding before it needs too
He knows what his mechanics should be but he doesn’t have a feeling for, which is why he loses his mechanics so easily in games, and why he has a hard time finding them again. It’s one thing to know what you’re suppose to do, it’s another to know what it feels like to do it right. I think Dellin is likely to always be very Burnett like in his control. When he’s on he can be awesome, when he’s not look out.
