Mike Butcher Ball Quotations

The ball comes nice out of Shinji's hand, a nice smooth delivery. He looked good.

We haven't even started throwing breaking balls yet and there's a tremendous amount of potential there. To see the aptitude out of him right away is very promising.

For him, it's really about getting the feel of the ball coming off his fingertips. Once that happens, everything else will take its place.

As far as the ball coming out of his hand, it was pretty special. It's that easy coming out of his hands. As relaxed as he was just throwing fastballs and change-ups, his delivery, the fluidness, the ball jumping out of his hand and the life he had, it's going to be nice to see when he lets loose.
