Like the title says, I am running through ITP. Just made a relief pitcher trying for the coveted closer role. kept endurance to a minimum and am not doing any endurance training.

Highschooler, was a 4 star prospect. In the pros by 21. (ugh, the "made you the closer" thing is rediculous, as well as the promotion/demotion after the minors season is over)

While I may have been traded from the worst team in the AL (cleveland) to the worst team in the majors (arizona), AZ made me their closer. Last time i tried a closer I did not get the role until I was much older, so hopefully I can hold onto it.

Interesting, I don't recall going over 100 before (maybe I just forget), but I got my velocity to (110). Prior to starting my 5th overall season (2007), I have already maxed my stats (80 stf, 80 ctrl, 110 vel, 10 poise). Yeah no poise for a closer, but whatever.

Going off a slight variation of the pitchers workout (to avoid endurance), was 1.59 when they said 1.6, at 1.52 when they say 1.5.

Off to my first full year as a closer...
