Saw Davis and Mcgee throw today

I am a freshman pitcher on the Eckerd College baseball team and today we had Wade Davis and Jake Mcgee come out and throw live to our hitters to get there work in before spring training. From what i have read the scouting reports are pretty accurate on these two. From center field Davis had great late life on his fastball and his curve ball had nice tilt and he seemed to had very good control of it. Mcgee on the other hand had showed off that highly touted fastball but struggled with what seemed to be a slider. The knock on Mcgee has been his lack of a secondary pitch but his change had good sink and subtraction of speed.

Along with being great prospects these guys were great guys too. They stayed around long after they threw and talked with us and were normal college aged kids. Nice to see that these so called "super prospects" were great guys and just like the majority of my team.

These experience just increased my excitement for spring training and the 2008 season.
