KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Scott Bradley coached Chris Young at Princeton, the former big league catcher made an observation that was on the money then and now.
“My first description of Chris back in the day was that he was Greg Maddux in Randy Johnson’s body,’’ Bradley told The Post via phone Wednesday as he toured Kauffman Stadium before Game 2 of the World Series between the Mets and Royals.
When you are 6-foot-10, the radar gun is supposed to dance near triple-digits. But the right-handed Young never has been that guy, and when he reached 90 mph during a three-inning relief stint in the Royals’ Game 1 victory Tuesday night — in which he recorded the win — it was surprising.
