Stock Watch: JO Berrios

[Seth Stohs]

Jake Seiner wrote about JO Berrios in his most recent Stock Watch. Talks about the FB jumping up to 98 while improving his control. It also has three videos. Great stuff!

Thanks for the link, Seth.

 

Berrios just seems so calm and composed to me. I suppose that varies somewhat but it was the thing that struck me most in his Futures Game appearance. They must have done a great job of getting him to channel his energies.

I think we can expect him to be hitting 101 regularly when he joins the Twins.

 

JB_Iowa...JoseBerrios_Iowa, right?

Electric stuff, can't wait to see him in a Twins uni

Berrios is simply having a great season. I wonder what his upside is going to be listed at this offseason.... He has 3 plus pitches in his FB, curve, and change right? Is it too ambitious to give him Lincecum potential? I really like his arsenal. Last season I was concerned with his trouble at the end of the season. It seems like something clicked for him this season. I'll be looking forward to watching him the rest of the season.

It does seem like something has clicked for him. It would be nice to see him finish the season strong at AA and advance to Rochester some point next season. It will be interesting to see if the Twins clear the log jam of pitching at AAA so that guys like Berrios can advance further.
