oh I don’t know... maybe, maybe not. The 83 pots of coffee didn’t help. He showed a good hard slider, and a fastball that seems to tail back on righties. But we can go 15 rounds on another thread sometime.
Sean Poppen was my Adopt-a-Prospect going into 2017!! http://twinsdaily.com/topic/25517-sean-poppen-2017 He pitched against Vlad Jr., struck out Tim Tebow, and made a lot of throwing errors! I don’t know who is more proud— me, or his parents
Agree, he may always be this way. He’s young (but not that young anymore) and I’m guessing he would have figured it out by now. He can still be a very good player and streaky in the good way, too.
A combination of elite contact skills, but not good control of the strike zone. He’s a keeper though. He’s got baseball sense and it looks like he can catch well enough to make a decent MLB career of it.
