FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Top pitching prospect Jose Berrios admitted he was a bit too excited during his Grapefruit League debut in the Twins' 13-2 win over the Orioles on Saturday at Hammond Stadium.
Berrios, ranked as the No. 19 overall prospect by MLBPipeline.com, said he was rushing his delivery and couldn't quite locate his changeup, leading to three walks. But he still tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing one hit, and vowed to be better next time out.
"I felt a little too excited, but I felt strong," Berrios said.
