For the 3rd straight year (that it’s been available), I’ve subscribed to MiLB.TV. I’ve always had a passion for prospects, but felt as though I was just scouting a stat-line. While I’m hardly David Lee, I have been able to differentiate between tools and performance and it’s provided me a newfound experience to watching Minor League Baseball.
For pitchers, I care less about ERA and more about K/BB ratio. I’ve also learned to also give pitchers a little grace when it’s apparent that they’re working on something specific (which is why ERA can be so misleading). Also, David Lee has been an inspiration for me to really differentiate between command and control and that’s helped my pitching eye.
