Riggo#44 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 From BA chat last week: "Klobosits is a guy to watch out for. He really impressed Nationals people with a 1.47 ERA in 30.2 innings during his pro debut and has some excellent plane out of a 6-7 frame. He's risky for sure, but he has some exciting upside with a fastball that's been up to 95-96 and some talk of an above-average slider as well. To top it off he has a pretty good track record of throwing strikes in college and did that during his first pro look as well. Very interesting arm." my nickname for him: The Klobo Gym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Some high school tape. https://www.mlb.com/video/15-draft-gabriel-klobosits-p/c-140723883 Also read he has a splitter. Fastball, slider, splitter. Short arm guy. Looks like be hides the ball pretty good as well behind that big frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Jed Hoyer on Davey Martinez from yesterday's article in the Post about Maddox/Lillequest switching teams (link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/nationals-journal/wp/2017/11/14/how-the-nationals-and-cardinals-accidentally-traded-pitching-coaches/?utm_term=.0834e68c7fd9) Quote Martinez’s former general manager, Jed Hoyer, praised the new Nationals manager Monday. He called him a “big personality” and an “optimistic person,” the kind of presence that will be the same person for his players every single day — “a person who will be in a great mood and excited.” “I think a lot of what people think of the Cubs and that team personality was Davey constantly talking about ‘we never quit,’ constantly pushing those boundaries. In his own way, I think he’s pretty creative in how he thinks about the game,” said Hoyer, who said a lot of the Cubs’ willingness to rest players early in the season — and corresponding ability to play well later — was Martinez’s idea. The Cubs were 57 games over .500 in August and September over the last three seasons. “We had a team in ’16 that was expected to win the World Series and had big personalities, and I think that’s going to be the 2018 Nationals,” Hoyer said. “I think he’s been there. I think that’s part of the advantage. He just went through that and I think that will be a big part of what he can bring.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to his return start against the Marlins back in August. He went 7 innings and was completely dominant. It hit me at that moment that I was watching one of the greatest pitchers ever and he was a HOFer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
