He didn't throw his curve until the 4th and buckled one batter's knees with it. The interesting thing to me was that his fastball only say 90-92 all game, where we were hearing he was sitting more like 93-94 and occasionally getting up to 96-97. But he looked like a guy who could be special.

As for the rest, Davidson is slimmer than I expected and much slimmer than his pre-draft videos from last year. He seemed to move relatively well in the OF, and if he keeps his weight down, I don't see why he can't ultimately stick in LF. He was facing a lefty today but still hit two balls really hard into right center, though the CF tracked one down.

Albies is a stud. He is tiny, but his swing is so sweet. And he looks good defensively, too; moved well, showed good range and good instincts. The interesting thing to me is that the one area I wasn't impressed with was his arm, it looked below-average on at least one throw...but Fangraphs rates it a 60, so they probably know more than me. Either way, he's going to be gooooood.
Thanks for the report.

What was your impression of tanner Murphy (c)? I saw he had a good day hitting, but he's struggled for the most part this year. Some brave fans think he could possibly be our catcher of the future, so I'd like your input
