He's only 34

I'm rooting for him.
But he probably gets injured soon.

Gonna be mighty tough to pitch when you have constant back spasms

Could come in for relief or closer. But your right, I don't think his back could handle the grind of a starter

Hope he can keep his eye on the ball.

That would be an incredible story. Did he play baseball in high school?

He's s 6'8 mega athlete. Not too surprising. Although a 91 mph heater ain't nothing, especially when he won't have the seasoning of any other high school prospect. This feels like novelty at best. Like someone said, he'll get hurt soon enough...

He pitched in high school and he was a baseball player before leaving for NBA

being 34 is not good for someone trying to pitch in the mlb with a 91 mph fastball. it's not like he's going to gain speed or learn a sick offspeed pitch easily.

Being 6'8 and as good an athlete as he is, he could definitely add some miles to his fastball with good coaching.
But yea, he is a little old to be learning how to pitch.

He bought a MiLB team, right? Sounds like the beginning of a novelty act/promotion

Wonder what his off speed stuff looks like

Didn't want to start a new thread. Tracy officially announced he wants to play for the Sugarland Skeeters today.
