Not-so-random prospect video
Larry profiled some of the low-level minor leaguers who are off the radar but worth keeping an eye on, which, in turn, reminded me that I never processed the video I shot of Nevin Griffith.
So, here’s video of Nevin Griffith (and here’s the brief scouting report from last month):

Seem’s like he has a 3/4 arm angle like Hudson. From your scouting report, it sounds as if he only as 2 pitches (fast and curve). Sounds like he’s more suitable for the bullpen. Bring him up now, he can’t do any worse than Jenks, Thornton, Linebrink or Dotel 🙂
Thanks for sharing the video!
He has a change, too. Just didn’t show it a lot that night.
He’s coming off Tommy John Surgery, and ditched his slider in the wake of it, so his secondary stuff is going to be lagging in the short term. Hopefully, just the short term.
