How did Robbie Scott look? Had an identical box score. I've got no idea what is stuff is like.
My understanding is he has different arm slots for R vs. L, sidearm for L and more over the top or 3/4 for R. Though I didn't see the game so I can't verify.
There was also talk of 88 mph cheese in the gamethread.
Scott threw only to RHB during his debut, but he did show at least two distinct arm slots - mostly a 2 o'clock release, with the occasional 3 o'clock sidearm delivery. He is fairly short, and seems to deliver out of a crouch, so even when he is throwing from 2 o'clock, the ball is still coming from fairly low:
I presume that when he faces LHBs, he will deliver from 3 o'clock more often. He can throw his curve from either slot, so the batter should not be able to predict from the arm slot what pitch is coming.
His "fastball" does seem to get on the hitter quicker than the mph implies because of his delivery (quick, funky). After the first couple of fastballs, I couldn't believe the not so fast mph numbers. Looking forward to seeing him again.
Although his fastball is a relatively modest 88 mph, separated from his changeup by only 4-5 mph, Scott gets a lot of spin on the ball, generating ~2500 RPM on his fastball.
Like Ziegler, he gets a lot of movement on his well-educated cheese. A 88 fastball averaging 9" vertical movement coupled with 10" horizontal movement can be a weapon if he can spot it well. Also like Ziegler, his curveball has some surprising frisbee action (although, unlike Ziegler, it breaks down as well as laterally).
The location chart suggests that he can indeed spot it well. Scott worked the batters he faced using the same pattern: first two pitches for a strikes at the knees, followed by a 3rd or 4th pitch high and out of the zone to change the batter's eye level. All the strikes were low, so (again like Ziegler) Scott seems to have promise for keeping the ball down and avoiding gopherballs.
