Extras: 2 Marlins and a Dodger

1) Eric Milton: FB, SL, CU, CB
5/16: 84 pitches. 4 strikes swinging. 3 Fastballs, Slider.
  • Milton is a 6-1, 220 pound lefty. The 34 year old has a medium frame that can add a touch more muscle, but is likely maxed. Strong, athletic build that may have a little pudge to it. He came from a high 3/4 release with pretty clean mechanics and showed a fastball with some run in on lefties and some sink. His change is straight with some fade from righties and some sink that he will throw to lefties. His slider is a sharp 11-5 with some bite. His curve is a 11-5 with average depth. Looks like he should be able to be a solid # 5 starter for a NL team with a big ballpark, but he always will have some terrible outings.

1st: FB (88-91), SL (79-82), CU (81) - 2 FB (Bonifacio - 2)

2nd: FB (88-91), SL (79-82), CU (80-81), CB (74-76) - FB (A. Miller), SL (A. Miller)

3rd: FB (86-90), SL (80-82), CU (79)

4th: FB (82-88)

2) Carlos Martinez: FB, SL, CU

5/16: 20 pitches. 2 strikes swinging. Fastball, Changeup.

  • Martinez is a 6-3, 200 pound righty. The 26 year old has a medium frame that appears to be maxed out, but needs to be toned. There is a lot of bad weight in the midsection and some in the lower body. Kind of pudgy. He came from a 3/4 release working predominately from the stretch with fairly clean mechanics until right before release. He has a little bit of extra effort right as he releases it and appears to over rotate his shoulder a little bit, adding stress. His slider is a 9-4 with some bite, but can just hang. His fastball has some run in on righties and some sink. His change moves just like his fastball and is okay. 4-A arm, one who just doesn't have enough fastball to make up for his lack of a quality off-speed pitch.

6th: FB (90-92), SL (83-86), CU (87) - FB (Blake), CU (Loney)

3) John Koronka: FB, SL, CU, CB

5/17: 62 pitches. 3 strikes swinging. 2 Sliders, Fastball.

  • Koronka is a 6-1, 180 pound lefty. The 28 year old has a medium frame that can add a lot more muscle and should be able to get up to about 205. He has a very skinny frame. He came from a high 3/4 release with fairly clean mechanics. His slider is a 11-5 offering with okay bite. His fastball has some run in on lefties and a little sink. His change is straight that looks like a fastball out of his hand and will throw it in any count. His curve is a 12-6 with average depth that he can leave up. Really battles his command, which is an issue for a finesse pitcher. 4-A pitcher at best.

1st: FB (86-90), SL (78-82), CU (78-81) - FB (Ausmus), SL (Paul)

2nd: FB (86-89), SL (79-81), CU (79-81), CB (70) - SL (Kershaw)

3rd: FB (85-89), SL (80), CU (78-80)
