Nate is an advocate of drafting more pitchers. Originally from the planet Eternia, he aspires to become the Master of the Prospect Universe....or just watch baseball, share observations, and have an enjoyable dialogue about this great game, particularly the young players trying to make the major leagues.

Nate – this was some amazing analysis. Love the use of video. Keep up the great work.

Appreciate that Jeff. We are at that part I don’t feel real great about sharing those numbers next to the names. Not my favorite thing to do. At the very least I hope the parts about sharing what I saw are useful. The other parts are the unsettle my nerves :) Thanks for reading.
