Baseball America highlights a Legendary Staff in the daily dish today.
Here is what they said about the young pitchers on Lexington’s roster:
Ross Seaton:
He’s done a nice job so far. I think he’s a little bit more mature at his age than some of the other kids,” Lexington manager Tom Lawless said. “He’s got major league pitches, there’s no doubt about that. It’s just a matter of getting experience pitching, getting his 30 starts. He’s going to get bigger and he’s going to get stronger. He understands what he wants to do. He’s pretty close to being a professional right now.
Jordan Lyles:
He’s pretty much just like Ross (Seaton),” Lawless said. “He might be a little bit behind Ross with the maturity level, but he’s got a major league arm. He’s got a tremendous fastball and a good breaking ball.
“This is all new to him, too, a full year getting 25-30 starts. It’s just a process. I think he’ll be fine as the year goes on.”
Bono & Greenwalt:
“Both those guys bring a lot of energy to the game,” Lawless said. “They work fast. They throw strikes. The defense is going to play good behind them wherever they pitch because they work fast, get the ball and throw strikes. They have movement on their fastballs. They’re not afraid to challenge hitters. I think that’s a big thing today.”
Brad Dydalewicz:
He generates tremendous movement on his pitches, a low-90s fastball, a curveball and a changeup. His delivery needs some refining, but Lawless was impressed by how few good swings hitters had against him.
