Keegan Thompson gives up a seeing-eye ground-ball single. Strumpf did not look very quick or rangy at 2b, I was surprised the ball got through. Got to 2-strikes on next hitter, but didn't throw a good putaway pitch, and guy kind of looped a single over the infield. Threw a curve that bounced about 8 feet in front of the plate, 2nd/3rd no outs. Then struck out the next three batters.
Thompson looked pretty composed and kinda fit the profile of a guy who maybe kinda knows what he's doing. Looked to hae good balance. Missed some fastballs a little low, but was working some up fastballs and some down fastballs, and what looked like a couple of breaking-ball variants. Kinda looks like a guy who, if he could get into a better groove and locate a little better, might become a good craftsman guy. Didn't look overwhelming, but without a gun didn't look like his fastball was too slow to use. Think he's got a chance. But will need to be able to locate his breaking stuff pretty well, and locate both the up and the down fastballs. May not be as sharp yet as he might be as the spring and the season progresses?
