SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — At every spring training camp there is a young pitcher who draws attention like a lightning rod. For the Rockies, that pitcher this spring is right-hander Peter Lambert. He’s 21, looks like a teenager and is maturing on the mound at a rapid rate.
“The thing that impresses me about Peter is his feel to pitch for such a young pitcher,” manager Bud Black said Thursday. “He’s not a thrower like you see with a lot of younger players with good arms. He truly has a plan. He knows himself. He knows his stuff. That’s really, really great for a guy his age.
