Sportsnet’s Arden Zwelling wrote a great piece about Nate Pearson a few days ago, and it’s definitely worth checking out. While I’ve been somewhat obsessed with following the Blue Jays’ top pitching prospect this season, even I learned a few things from the deep dive that Zwelling was able to take with the 23-year-old.
They talked a lot about the very successful season that Pearson just had over three levels of the minor league system, and the long road to get there, starting as far back as discussing life as a 16-year-old. However, it was a few of the things that were highlighted about how Pearson goes about his business these days that got me particularly excited.
