Timmy U Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Pilkington with 5 K’s in 3 innings. Lefty coming out of the SEC who can get breaking stuff over, going to be hard to gauge what we have there until he gets to AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder when the lack of velocity catches up to him. Either way, much better than his high-A debut last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Yeah, for a lefty who has got two breaking balls, I wonder what's the minimum velocity he needs to be decent? Maybe he goes full Corbin and throws his fastball only when he absolutely has too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's what happens when a guy doesn't have that plus fastball. Gotta prove it all the time. Look at Dallas Keuchel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Friday Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Struck out the side for the 6th. Might be done for the day, but what a day it was. Good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I'm just wondering what type of pitcher Pilkington will be if he ever regains his velocity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the thought process/plan was for him upon drafting. Are they working on something to regain that velocity? Delivery change? Something mechanical? Getting him on some sort of conditioning plan? He certainly looks like a dude that should be throwing harder than high 80's.

It doesn't sound like Pilkington will be if he gets here What I was saying is that people without a plus fastball always have to prove it. With his track record, if Keuchel were throwing 93, he'd have a contract right now. Pilkington, similarly, is going to have to prove it and keep proving it. May not be fair, but that's the way it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was injured (ankle I think), missed a game, came back, realized it wasn't fully healthy, and now is taking a few days off to fully recover 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
