The kid had a great debut

Y'all see that the Pirates gave 12 guys their MLB debut this month?

I saw his last ab. Struck out but he looked good. They showed his throw and it was a laser.

Yea Mr 2nd shift at Applebee's has a gift at looking at baseballs going 95 mph. Just ask him about it. Back in his day he could throw it 100 across the diamond.
