Sailor’s Delight: Darren McCaughan swears he is not jealous of Ljay Newsome

This series is named for the rhyme ancient Mariners allegedly used to predict weather patterns: Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; red sky in morning, sailor’s warning. Last week we judged the sky for Ljay Newsome and found conditions favorable. My hypothesis about Gas Camp, increased velocity, and continued performance has what? John?

First external confirmation of what we've heard reports of re: 22-year-old Mariners prospect RHP Ljay Newsome.

He's up from 86-89 to 91-94 on his fastball with better strength, mechanics, and boy do we have results: 16.
