The Boston Red Sox are off to a 13-2 start and there is very little to criticize the team for. However, Tyler Thornburg could ease the concerns surrounding the team going forward.
According to MassLive’s Christopher Smith, Thornburg threw two innings in an extended spring training game in Fort Myers. His stuff (33 pitches) looked lively and improved from his previous outings, according to Smith and manager Alex Cora.
Thornburg has reached 95 mph on the radar gun at extended spring training. He averaged 94.1 mph during 2016 with the Brewers, per Fangraphs.
