This guy is a Bobby Heck Special. Projectable? Check! Athletic? Check! Clean Mechanics? Check! Curveball? Check! Feel for a change-up? Check! Pitchability? Check Mate!

But, with his height and already a frame that looks strong, he can put on some good weight and possibly a workhorse type pitcher. But, it's not really his frame that really stands out, it's his great arm speed.

Try something different for this holiday
Stores are filled with barnyards of chocolate critters. Enormous piles of pale yellow, green, pink and blue candies lay next to mounds of foil wrapped mini-eggs.
