Scouting Austin Romine & DJ Mitchell
ByAdam Guttridge took a trip down to Tampa for THT, taking a look at two of the Yankees’ better prospects: Austin Romine & DJ Mitchell. Guttridge notes that Romine is “well-composed at the plate” but a “mixed picture” on defense. Mitchell was sitting high-80′s with the sinker, had good control of his slider, and flashed a promising changeup. Check it out, it’s a nice quick read. (h/t dan)

I’m a little upset that Mitchell sits high 80′s. I thought that he was a 90-92 guy with great sink.
He’s only been pitching for a few years
Was this the stadium gun? This guy’s own gun? The consensus of all the scouts?
I can’t imagine that a college righty with an 88MPH sinker would have a ceiling as high as a #3.
I know this is extremely off topic, but RIP Michael Jackson.
Sad, also Farrah Fawcett.
R.I.P Michael Jackson.
Im just stun right now. We all grew up watching this man.
A pedo is dead. We should rejoice.
When Romine was drafted, wasn’t the book on him that he was very good defensively and average offensively? Guttridge’s comments seem to be antithetical to that, but in line with what’s been showing up in DotF this year. So what’s the real story with Romine?

Basically: He’s not that great defensively, but he has the tools to be (Great arm, good athleticism). Kind of like pitchers with great stuff who haven’t harnessed it yet.
Please try not to use words like antithetical on a sports blog. It gets me confused.
High 80′s isn’t a pro prospect.
Saw this a couple days ago, definitely some interesting stuff.
