His velocity wasn't all that great last year. 87ish. And he's only added 2 mph or so (at least from the fall numbers).
His best off speed pitch was and will be his changeup. It's a product of how deceptive it can be from that angle. The ball already moves high to low.
But you're right. He's the setup guy or maybe long relief if you need him. He threw strikes and he makes people swing and miss.

I recall him throwing 86-88 mph last year, but he threw more fastballs by people than you would expect at that velocity. I was hoping he'd be consistently near 90 mph this year, topping in the low 90s. But as you've pointed out, he needs a good offspeed pitch.
I expect Bugg will be pretty good as the "set up" guy.

quote:Two reasons for that. His length and release point. He's releasing the ball 2 feet closer to the plate due to his height and reach. Milliseconds make all the difference between a swing and miss and contact. Also, his high release point itself makes it difficult to pick up and react to.

I hope he becomes the next great LSU closer to be honest. If something just clicks for him, I could see it.

his high fastball is impressive sometimes.

Look how far away from the pitching rubber the ball is when Roger Clemens releases it.
I think Bugg is probably similar.

Ever seen the way Bugg lands on his feet when delivers the ball. It's almost like he's twisting them sideways. Weird.

No. My Junior year summer travel ball team is when I played with Chris. I played for a Cenla 17 and under group.
Plus, I played against him multiple times being that he played for ASH.

Thank you.
