Zac Gallen’s spring training got off to a slow start. During the off season he suffered a sore shoulder and was diagnosed with bursitis. As a result he came to spring training a little behind the other starters. After two bullpen sessions, and two live BP sessions, he made his spring debut today, and it went well.
Zac threw 36 pitches, 22 for strikes. He went 2.2 IP, giving up a lone single and striking out two. His fast ball velocity was sitting around 94-95, and he used all his pitches, including slider, changeup and curve. In an effort to limit exposure to a division rival lineup he was pulled from the game a little shy of Torey’s pre stated 3 IP, 45 pitches.
