[arthurtats]

its fast at 1:20, but martin caught it with the palm part so it made a louder echo,

@JigsawBeatzz Ha ha, getting owned by Kershaw is no reason to give up on going pro. The pros get owned by Kershaw.

this is the next sandy koufax

[jake5jeckel]

not really herky jerky..he kinda stops at ideal balance point then brings everything at you....hes already striding at the stop which gives him more leverage ala lincecum(not so much stopping but the balance point being during stride)

[JRuck36]

So much for the "balance point pitchers are out of vogue". The herky jerky I think helps him stay back for a great push and distract the batter. AWESOME mechs. Saw his last outing against the Mariners in spring training...dominated. working on similar mechanics here.

[tweedledeedle32]

great video man, about time

[ihavecoconuts]

he is a bit herky jerky in his delivery but it really works for him. this guy has SICK movement on his pitches.

[MrBlake14]

Deception my friend, deception. That herky jerky delivery throws off hitters' concentration sometimes.

[mmollica99]

That last pitch is awesome! Amazing velocity from one of the best young LHP in baseball.

[hockeyboy6996]

[FalseHopeRally]

keep practicing! we'd love to have another 96 mph fastballer on the dodgers. :)

[crazydeaf9]

and he throws so easy

[FalseHopeRally]

he's real fundamentally sound and is projected to be low-injury risk. sounds good to me.

[wiggle4101]

i grew up with him all the way from Bradfield elementary to highland park high school

[FalseHopeRally]

no shit? i hear from a buddy of mine that he's pretty nice. that's cool, man.

[wiggle4101]

ya he's a really cool guy. real chill, not cocky like some might expect. we use to sit at the same lunch table... it's crazy that he's pro

[FalseHopeRally]

yeah, no kidding.. impressive as hell

you should have him fly you out for a game some time, haha

[dotanooblar]

holy shnikes and this kid is only 3 years older then me...And he's like on another world skillswise T____T

[FalseHopeRally]

He's only a few months older than me and striking out ML batters. Ridiculous.

[Savierproductions]

This kid is great

[FalseHopeRally]

Definitely. That last fastball at 1:20 had us all impressed.
