bbman, that is the guy... and if he is 5'10" then I am 6'2"...give me a break. I would put money on it that he is 5'8". He does bring it however. I was watching a Braves game and the announcer said that he could walk onto any HS field in the country and no one would not think he is a HS Sr.
It is interesting to see the different path's pitchers take and there. MDdon could be throwing 85 next year depending on where he is in his growth cycle....and just because he is short or tall it really may not matter.
Many people think BOF Jr should be throwing harder just because of his height, however he has not grown into his frame yet and consequently is not taking avantage of the leverage just yet and has some serious power leakage.
The thing that is important is to get the "intent" to throw hard. I think this is one of the things that Long Toss develops. The ability to get immediate feedback on how hard you are throwing just by seeing the distance.
Anyway MDdon keep us informed on how things are going, and keep working hard!
