Watching Sean Nolin tonight, I liked the same things I liked in his first start. I really like the way he works both sides of the plate with his fastball, his over-the-top delivery has some deception, and his changeup is quite good.
86.
I can see why the A's thought highly of Nolin as a prospect with a 91 MPH fastball, a good changeup, a developing curve and generally good control, and I can see where if Mike Napoli could not sit on the slow curve, where if batters had to start their swing a bit earlier before gauging pitch type and location, Nolin could be an intriguing pitcher to follow.
