Bryan Price Ball Quotations

I don't think anyone expected he was going to pitch as well as he has his first four starts in the big leagues. I didn't anticipate the command and poise and amount of ground balls he has gotten. He has been a strikeout/ground-ball machine. Not a lot of guys get the ball in the air against him.

To a man, our guys have come in and thrown the ball over the plate. Like a lot of staffs, getting the first one under their belts is sometimes the most tenuous. But our guys have come in and done an absolutely great job at working ahead in the count, establishing a low strike zone and challenging the hitter.

My goals with these guys the first time or two they touch the ball is to throw the ball over the plate, and he did that.

We didn't see any significant velocity until the last five, six, seven starts. He's throwing the ball better and the velocity has been on the increase the past four or five starts.
