Domonic Brown vs Roy Halladay
Yesterday in Clearwater, Roy Halladay faced some of his new teammates for the first time in a live batting practice at Bright House Field, and first up was Domonic Brown (BlueClaws 2008).
Fresh off his ranking as the 15th best prospect in the game by Baseball America, Brown got to face Halladay. If they ranked starting pitchers, Halladay would of course be in the top 5.
Brown fouled off a few and then struck out, and said afterwards:
“It was pretty nasty, man,” Brown said. “Pretty nasty. It was tough for me. Roy was throwing his cutter, and everything was moving. He has a nasty sinker.”
And Charlie Manuel on Brown:
“Brown’s got a talent,” Manuel said. “He leverages the ball out front and it jumps off his bat. I like that he makes contact even on balls that almost get by him. We’ll see how quick his bat is in the game.”
Brown will likely head to Lehigh Valley to open the 2010 season.
