GREENSMACKS Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 instead of signing mirabelli why didnt they sign a japanese catcher to catch him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFSIKH Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 instead of signing mirabelli why didnt they sign a japanese catcher to catch him Not a bad idea. I am guessing that Mirabelli is used to catching Wake all these years that catching for Daiske will be a little easier. He has a different delivery (i.e. raisng his pivot foot) and then a very deliberate and controlled motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 The off speed stuff looks lethal in that video. Didn't see much of the fastball being thrown in the zone for strikes. Thanks for posting Sharrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 His off speed stuff looks lethal. Can he establish the fast ball to make it matter? That will be the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFSIKH Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 please explain to me which frame is the gyroball haha I think is looks like a curve, but different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbn007 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I do not think the gyroball was thrown in any of those shots. That said, his breaking stuff looks very top shelf. Can he establish his fastball with enough consistency to make his breaking stuff effective? The 103 - 111 million dollar question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sources in the US have said he does but that was supposedly part of the hype. We'll see which reports are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is about 93ish. Not exactly top of the shelf speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term "top shelf" was used in context with his breaking stuff. No comment was made regarding his fastball. BTW - unless I have it wrong, 151, which was the top speed I saw, is equal to 94 MPH. I have read that he sits at 92-94, with a high of 95. So this group of videos seems correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is more than enough speed when your off speed pitches are that good....see Johan Santana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
