Thread: Michael Wacha Cardinals

I had no idea who this kid is but I watched him throw three spring training innings and Wow... Simple Wow... He blew me away.

i know it's only three innings and its only ST but my goodness... This kid has out of this world like stuff... I also watched Bundy throw a couple of innings... He was good... Wacha was much much more.

That stuff is legit... He won't be in the minors long. If you get a chance to check him out... Do so... Wow... Hard fastball... Sick change up and a breaking pitch that freezes the hitter.

Yeah the Cardinals promoted him to AA in pretty quick order last year. He was in the tier of college pitchers last year that was generally thought of just below Appel, Gausman and Zimmer. St. Louis sure has been able to identify quality pitching as of late.

I hope this is another case where good scouting of talent shows that drafting players to develop that it is more about their skills than the numbers.

If Appel... Gausman and Zimmerman are better... I don't know what to say. I know it was just three spring training innings but that stuff doesn't lie.
