Let me open with this — I’m a huge fan of Andre Pallante making the team. Actually let me qualify that. I’m a huge fan of Andre Pallante making the team if it doesn’t change his long term outlook. He has shown big league stuff all spring with a fastball velocity that can touch 99/100 in shorter stints and nasty breaking pitches with high spin rates. That’s certainly an enticing profile.
Now, statcast readings can sometimes be wonky in Spring Training, but Pallante’s other appearances showed similar numbers, though they were just a touch lower.
