San Francisco Giants: Melvin Adon Pitches in the Fall Stars Game

The San Francisco Giants’ farmhand entered with two outs in the sixth inning, with his East team tied with the West team, 3-3. He took over for left-hander Devin Smeltzer, inheriting a runner that he walked.

The first thing that stood out about Adon righty is how easy his delivery is. He’s a big guy, at 6’3” and 235 pounds, and he looks relaxed through the entire process and doesn’t seem to expend much energy with each pitch, but he still can rip a fastball. He has what Giants’ broadcaster Mike Krukow would call a “lazy arm delivery”.
