What was Ralston even doing in Springfield after last season?

Working on his walks I'm guessing, which he does not seem to have improved...

very respectable for the 17y.o.

Think he’ll get moved up to Palm Beach at some point this year?

Roby flashed some pretty good arm side action on his fastball, especially to RHB, running it in like a cutter to them, while maintaining his velocity around 93-95 on the pitch. A few times in the 1st inning, when he failed to get the movement on the fastball he was hit really hard. Settled in after the 1st inning, and got easy ground balls for the next four inning. When his fastball is on like that to RHB, he's pretty dominant. The contact is weak if it at all.

On Sunday, Mathews was able to locate his fastball much better than he did on Tuesday. With the fastball around the edges of the zone, the change up really played well. Comes out of his hand like a fastball, then the bottom falls out. Batters were committed to swinging thinking it was a fastball with 2 strikes. When he isn't locating the FB the change up is ineffective and Walks ensue.

I was encouraged by both, and frankly, I was a complete fanboy getting to see them both in person. I probably embarrassed the wife nonstop with my muttering the whole game
