That's in 1-2 inning, non-LOOGY stints, too. Get thee to Binghamton, pronto. Hell, get thee to Buffalo, or a taxi squad.

[MFS62]

Still a Sand Gnat.
But it looks like they may be giving him even more opportunity to break the LOOGY (or even reliever) role.

This guy is really starting to inch toward the Wheeler/Harvey/Familia/Mejia top-of-our-crop category for me. He was even more untouchable in Brooklyn last year. The next homer he gives up will be his first.

Main problem seems to be that he's only listed at 5'11".

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Plus at the rate he eats at Chipoltle he could be 5-11, 270 before long.

But yeah, what a start.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Promoted to St. Lucie

[Edgy MD]

Rocket on pitching mechanics and shrimp and grits.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Gave up a couple walks and a run in his first Juicy Lucy appearance today.

Jack Leathersich ‏@LeatherRocket Tough loss today.... I needa be better than that. Will get em #tomorrow

[Edgy MD]

There goes that perfect season. Send that boy this and help him out.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jack Leathersich ‏@LeatherRocket Off the chipotle then to the field!

[MFS62]

JCL, is your kid hurt?
Haven't seen his name in a box score for a while.

Hasn't pitched since the 19th when he got a little roughed up but not DLed and still tweeting. There's been some rainouts recently, but he's ready to go today in fact:

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Sure enough he pitched today, blew a save with 3 hits, 2 BB, 3 ER in 1.2 IP.

Jack Leathersich ‏@LeatherRocket Humbling game baseball is.

Teammates picked him up and St Lucie won in 12

[Edgy MD]

Jack Leathersich ‏@LeatherRocket Got a nice workout in now gettin some grub and relaxin till gametime

Brace yourselves, Chipotle.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Tweeting and Eating with the Rocket:

Jack Leathersich ‏@LeatherRocket Over at Panera for some breakfast then over to the field to #work

I like his has tag style:

Jack Leathersich ‏@LeatherRocket What a debut for Harvey =#0040FF]#unreal

On the =#0040FF]#field, Jack is a little more hittable than he was in the low As but still =#0040FF]#gets a ton of strikeous: 51 in 31 innings so far at St. Lucie, to go with 4.06 ERA

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jack Leathersich ‏@LeatherRocket About to go workout, grab some food, and take a nap before the game. #letsgo

[Edgy MD]

What a fucking whale your guy is. Does he think about nothing else?

[MFS62]

Strikeouts!
He's got over 90 in under 60 IP this season (low and high A levels combined).
Whatever he's eating, we should feed it to the rest of our pitching prospects.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jack Leathersich ‏@LeatherRocket Chipotle for brunch... Good start to the day

[Edgy MD]

That kid is gonna get diarrhea on the mound.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jack Leathersich ‏@LeatherRocket Chipotle Starbucks baseball

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I think he's missing a half-hour stop or three between "Starbucks" and "baseball."

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jack Leathersich ‏@LeatherRocket Guess I'll do chipotle for lunch

[Edgy MD]

Zack wheeler @Wheelerpro45 First meal at home? Zaxbys. Just killed it

[Edgy MD]

Jack Leathersich ‏@LeatherRocket I'm about to go #HAM in this grocery store

Now, that's a great LeatherRocket status update, combination of voracious appetite and unpredictable hashtags.

Then there's this one:

He's taking an art class in the offseason? That seems very unjocklike.

well apparently washing his car interests him more. I wonder if he's just trying to get a degree in the meantime?
