LHP Zach Lasuzzo signed yesterday. The kid has potential, I have watched him pitch a couple times. Had shoulder surgery last year and has been consistently clocked between 88-91 mph since high school ball.

anyone with additional info on the kid? I wonder if he's a replacement in case Bruening signs with the yankees

nah ive seen some posts saying that we were going to have some room for an additional 2 or 3 players.

More importantly, does he needlessly dive for fly balls...?

why would a LHP dive needlessly for fly balls?

Don't you dare question him!

From that All Northeast LA Small School Team, these may be guys to look at in the future:

(One poster, I won't disclose his identity but his initials are Lester Earl, always questions any LSU player who dives for a fly ball. He contends it's just show boating. Sorry.)

He is a good kid and comes from a really good family. He is an all around athlete. He played in about 5 different spots last football season. Zach was a solid pitcher and has a few things to work on, but he is a good addition to the team.

When I was playing (the 60's) I wasn't a pitcher, but coaches then claimed that teaching 14 - 17 year old boys to throw sliders and curves would result in damage to arms and shoulders. Wonder if that's true.

Yeah, younger pitchers should be concentrating on being able to locate and change speeds, any pitch with a lot of arm torque is going to damage a younger pitcher's arm because the tendons aren't fully developed to be able to handle the strain

I'm glad you liked that. I'm still laughing about it, too.

Except now days, baseball is played all year so the strain is put on the arm constantly rather than just in baseball season.
I think it's sad to see so many sophomores and juniors in high school have surgery because of over-pitching and starting so young. My cousin who pitches in college had surgery his junior year. Couldn't even pitch most of his senior year.
