Here’s the scoop on the Yankees fifth pick this year in the draft – via Baseball America:
Pepperdine put one of its best arms into a role that made him tough for scouts to see, yet righthander Adam Olbrychowski still could go in the first six rounds. He’s proven durable in a relief role and gets good sink on a low-90s fastball that touches 95, giving up just two homers in 60-plus innings. He doesn’t throw consistent, quality strikes with his slider and changeup, so he doesn’t get as many strikeouts as someone with his stuff could.
If the Yankees sign this kid, I think Bob Sheppard will retire on the spot.
Poor Bob Sheppard.
great win tonight, just the kind of game i thought they’d lose this year until the 8th.
Who did Cano slap in the head in the dugout that got so pissed? Anyone else see that?
Min—, Olbr—, are the Yankees trying to give us carpel tunnel with these names?
