He’s throwing 100+ now in the majors.

Straight gas with a 90mph slider.

He’s throwing 4 pitches: FB, Cutter, Slider and Curve.

Dude has moved up fast since the 2023 draft.

I think everyone knew his ceiling was super high. He just got hurt. You root for that kind of kid.

What root would you take to get from Baton Rouge to New Orleans?

Fun fact

His second cousin is Slate Alford who was previously at MSU and is now at UGA. Slate’s first homerun was off of Grant. Both dads are first cousins

If him and shores are healthy for all of 2023, that team would’ve done the exact same thing just maybe win more games and give of fewer runs haha. Stupid talent on that roster.

And if Edwards, our best reliever that season, stayed healthy.

There's also the Jacob Misiorowski what-if.

60+ wins is in play,

Sounds like an easy job long-term....the White Sox don't have too many leads to "close"

It helps when your team is 29-59…

Many more opportunities on a bad team.

Pirates host the Whitesox later in July.

Going to have to see which game Paul starts and maybe I get to see two Tigers on the same day.

I’m a Sox fan and I’m loving watching this kid throw straight DIESEL. Hasn’t been a lot to enjoy watching the Sox the past few years so it’s been fun seeing him come up for sure.
