The Natsgm Show

THE NatsGM Show #129 has dropped and we proudly welcome Senior Evaluator from 2080 Baseball, John Eshleman! On this episode John and I discuss scouting both hitters and pitchers.  First we talk hitting, specifically what we look for during batting practice, what "bat path" means to us and how long until we feel comfortable grading hitters.  Next we talk pitching, what we look for when evaluating pitchers and the value of video in breaking down deliveries.  Finally we discuss the similarity of deliveries of minor league pitchers, the lack of quality breaking pitches in the minor leagues and what role scouts will play in the future. Thanks to John for joining the show and to you for downloading!
