That is 100% what they need. They desperately need to have and develop guys who can be All-Star level impact players.rockondlouie wrote: ↑25 Nov 2025 13:46 pm Say's Clark has as much talent as any pitcher in the minor leagues, just has to be developed.
Knows he's far away from his ceiling but he could be elite if we can get him there
He also said all the guys were in the room when the trade was made, both off field (Strength & Conditioning, diet, ect...) and on field coaches.mattmitchl44 wrote: ↑25 Nov 2025 13:48 pmThat is 100% what they need.

That will be Matt Pierpont's job ... Pierpont was hired to develop the pitchers .rockondlouie wrote: ↑25 Nov 2025 13:46 pm Say's Clark has as much talent as any pitcher in the minor leagues, just has to be developed.

As Bloom stated, he has that grade 70 slider (Grade 70 is a plus plus rating on the scouts scale ) .rockondlouie wrote: ↑25 Nov 2025 13:46 pm Say's Clark has as much talent as any pitcher in the minor leagues, just has to be developed.

Both these kids have very good size ... Fitts 6-3 230 and Clarke is 6-4 240 Not that all pitchers must be big but it sure helps usually on the velo .mattmitchl44 wrote: ↑25 Nov 2025 13:48 pmThat is 100% what they need.

Lefties who can throw 100 mph don't grow on trees either.ramfandan wrote: ↑25 Nov 2025 14:27 pmAs Bloom stated, he has that grade 70 slider (Grade 70 is a plus plus rating on the scouts scale ) .rockondlouie wrote: ↑25 Nov 2025 13:46 pm Say's Clark has as much talent as any pitcher in the minor leagues, just has to be developed.

He has ability that cannot be taught is correct. His issues thus far has been health and command. He had those blisters so pitching guys need to work with him on ways to eliminate that . Command is also something that coaches can hope to deveiop. What you cannot teach is to throw that wipeout slide the way he does.
Will he become top shelf remains to be seen but the type talent you take a shot on for if he develops , you have a true gem.
