Meyer optioned back to AAA
BubbleSoccerMinnesota.net replied to gunnarthor's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
The idea that if you throw hard enough (Nolan Ryan) placement and movement are less essential is a line of thought I heard several times last night during the broadcast. The problem is although velocity might be Meyers' best strength, 95-97 isn't enough of a disparity between his avg. velocity and the everyday starter to completely forgo placement and movement. The kid isn't throwing Nolan Ryan level velocity out there, he needs to figure out how to add one or the other more consistently (placement or add movement). In my experience a slight mechanics change or grip is easier to add. If he isn't able to place the ball where he wants consistently enough at this stage, he isn't ever going to be that guy unless this added velocity is something new to him due to recent mechanics/strength development.
