MESA, Ariz . – Stephen Vogt raved about Sonny Gray’s pitches Friday, at least those he could follow into his catcher’s mitt.
At one point in Gray’s three-inning simulated game, Vogt was expecting a sinker from the A’s ace.
How’d that turn out?
“It was supposed to be a sinker and ended up cutting (the opposite direction) about three feet -- absolutely disgusting,” Vogt said. “That happens with Sonny all the time.”
Gray appeared locked in during a 42-pitch outing in which he faced Jake Smolinski, Joey Wendle and Renato Nunez, who rotated one after the other to give Gray all the work he needed.
