2016 1st Rd. pick, P Justin Dunn, put a video up online showing his 'long tossing' the width of a football field. He also seemed pumped to get back on the bump and prove he can do better than the 5.00-ERA he produced for St. Lucie last season.
Gagnon was a 3rd round draft pick (I had him going much earlier than that) in 2011 by the Milwaukee Brewers. He went 4-10 for a very bad Long Beach State U, team in 2011, but still produced an impressive 2.81-ERA in 15 starts.
He pitched in the Milwaukee system through 2016 and was then picked up by the Los Angeles Angels.
The 6-4 RHP 27-yr. old's best year was 2014, when he went 11-6, 3.96, in 28 starts in AA-Huntsville.
Gagnon was converted to a reliever in 2016 but he can still go either way (10 starts last year at the AAA level).
I'm sure the Mets have had some exposure to him since he has pitched the last three seasons in the PCL league.
When I saw we signed Gagnon, I thought it was a GAG. Hopefully, the joke will be on his old team.
ReplyDeleteLooking for a breakthrough year from Dunn.
A gag? NON, m'seur. 😀
ReplyDeleteHe will pitch for the Mets' Paris affiliate. Anywhere but Vegas.
DeleteI gues Dunn hadn’t read where Callaway said that long tossing is more strenuous on your arm than pitching. Callaway needs to sit down and open up his mind.
