Bleacher Bums Forum

If he was throwing 100 mph with and above average slider he’d be ranked above Burl. It might flash above average and might get there some day. BA also said the spin rates where not all that good.

Little is a raw 19 year old with poor control and Burl is the top pure reliever in the draft (and perhaps close to the majors), so not surprising that the latter drafted higher.

But, the point is a report that Little has a “above-average” slider with bite—-that contradicts notion of “no secondary stuff.”

Maybe you saw Little pitch on a day that BA is unaware of.
