Braves' prospect 'pretty unhittable'

Teheran, meet Tommy John.

"When he located -- and he did it on probably 10 of the 30 pitches he threw -- it was, in my opinion, pretty unhittable."

I'd like to know what happened to the 20 other pitches, that weren't.

Maybe not, you see his delivery? Well, that's the same motion Colombians use to pick cocoa leaves, that guy's arm is WELL conditioned...............

He'll be the next Pedro- but like, way better.

first thing I saw as well. MLB hitters hit those pitches and as fast as he throws, usually a long, long way. Any pitcher that gets hit .666 is not usually considered pro. let alone un-hittable. Unless of course he's pitching to Jose Feliciano.

Well, as long as this piece of sage eyewitnessmanship (yes, I made that up) comes form such a reliable source as David Ross -- a back-up catcher that I have NEVER heard of, then hey the Braves are one step closer to matching the Phillies Fab Four rotation.............(rolls eyes)

You having never heard of him says more about you than it does it about him. That backup is better than your starting catcher.

Tommy Chong

Very confusing, catcher says he located on 10/30. But scouts say he has pinpoint command of 3 pitches.

Teheran is 1-2 years away from MLB. By then, all of the Phillies starter's arms will have fallen off.

True that. I'm surprised Ross hasn't want to start somewhere. He could easily start for at least half the teams in the league. Behind McCann, it's not happening. But I never feel bad when he's in there. Good defense, good throwing and can hit and hit with power.

That and the original write definitely isn't a Braves fan. If he was, then he would already know about David Ross.

Don't worry about not knowing David Ross. Braves fans know him and when he says something about a pitcher, it's pretty legit. (LOL at people bragging about their ignorance!)

Nothing more is expected of Phillie fans.

IF, you have not heard of David Ross then you must have been under a rock. He is probably the best "back up" catcher in the league.
