Can you believe that this coming Thursday, there's a spring training game? IT'S HAPPENING, PEOPLE!!!!
More importantly to me, the next day, Friday, there's a spring training game for which the Eyeball Scout will be in attendance. Down early this year for the games March 4th, 5th, 7th, and 8th, the Eyeball Scout has already scored one bonanza with the announcement that Sean Manaea will start Friday's home game.
I don't expect Manaea to be throwing 95MPH but I do hope to get a sense of how/whether the ball "gets on the hitter in a hurry," something that does not always relate to pure velocity.
