Gabriel Ynoa is making the road trip with the team Thursday (3/5), but the game won’t
be broadcast on TV, so I put together a collection of the 16 gifs of Ynoa
pitching posted on Astromets Mind
during the 2014 season. To make the page load quicker, the gifs are included as
links (hover zoom helps), and I’ve included links to the game coverage if
interested.
Ynoa
is similar to Rafael Montero, in that he has excellent control of his pitches
but no clear out pitch. He throws a low-90’s fastball, a solid-average
changeup, and a fringy slider that flashes average potential – hopefully he’s
working with Dan Warthen on improving that this spring. After a strong 1st
half with St. Lucie in 2014, Ynoa was a little less consistent in his first
taste of AA, but he’ll still just be 21 when the season begins for him back
with Binghamton, so he’s still very advanced for his age. Plus, there’s no rush
to get him to the already loaded rotation in Las Vegas.
