So, I keep hearing about this guy. He's got a big pitcher's body, he's 24, has a great curve, throws mid-90s, and an above average change. He's going to be in AAA.

I remember exploring this issue some last year and finding that %LD didn't really have much correlation to performance. Considering I didn't have access to that information before last year, I couldn't test if it had any predictive value, but I felt that it didn't.

Lately, I've been seeing people use that data point to argue for or against a certain prospect, and I'm curious to know why.

Did anyone catch the game? How'd he look?

I haven't been as active a prospector as I have been in the past, but I was just browsing A ball stats the other day, and came across this guy. Anyone have much information about him? Sorry if I'm late to the party on this one.
