course definite happy high improvement spring velocity wants
I'm going to say there was definite improvement (from spring training). His velocity now is more consistent. I think that's something he's happy with. Of course it wasn't as high as he wants it to be, but it was very encouraging.
afraid definitely good guy pitch proved
He was a guy that they weren't afraid to put him in in any situation. He's definitely really good on left-handed hitters, and he just proved that he could pitch here.
breaking hammer instead miss stay sure tried trying

guys high miss since stay trying
We're trying to stay away from the high fastball. All our guys have been concentrating on that since spring. If you miss, miss down.
