Reply to "Definite attention getters..."

I'm sure PGStaff won't mind my "lifting" his response in another forum. I thought this was really helpful info:

From the Thread "The 78-82 MPH Club" in the General Forum. Posted by PGStaff

From our stand point there's a few things we look at in a low to mid 80s pitcher.
1. Is he physically mature or does he have room to get bigger and stronger?
2. Does his fastball have exceptional life/movement?
3. Does he have a special pitch that will make him successful at a high level?
4. Does he have good command of three pitches?
5. Does he know how to pitch?
6. Does he have the makeup necessary to succeed at the highest levels.
7. Does his arm work smooth, fluid and with quickness.
8. Is there some deception with his delivery?
9. Are his mechanics solid or at least fixable.
10. Has he improved over the past few years or stayed the same.
