GoodAsGould Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) The White Sox just signed a kid named Ricky Angelo. He is being touted as the "Little Rocket" due to his size (5'9 160). He's a pitcher out of Chicago who came to an open tryout and blew away the Sox scouts. This kid can flat out throw. His fastball was clocked at 99 and has a 12-6 curve that breaks nearly 3 feet! He does have some control problems but the sox feel that can be taken care of due to the fact that he has never been coached. He didn't even play high-school ball! He should be starting a rookie ball stint in Arizona but with coaching the White Sox feel that in a year or so he could be in the bigs. Watch out for this kid, he is gonna be HUGE! ive nver heard of this kid b4 any of you? Edited May 30, 2005 by SoxFan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I have a feeling that someone is pulling your leg. This statement seals it for me. but with coaching the White Sox feel that in a year or so he could be in the bigs. So basically we are taking a guy that didn't pitch in high school and is very wild and will transform him into a MLB pitcher in a year, nice.
