Radio saying Swanson looks much looser (more range) at SS this spring. If that is true, pretty big deal

Newcomb seems to be having a good day. 3 innings no runs no walks and 4 strikeouts.

Listening to radio, we have hit almost every ball hard, but out

No walks Newcomb is at worst a 4WAR pitcher.

Incredibly positive stat line for Newk. Improving to Gio-level control would be huge for the Braves...and that's an understatement.
170+ IP of 9+ K/9 and ~3.5 BB/9 is a 3-4 win pitcher.
I have to imagine he has all but secured a spot in the rotation. Only question now is if he gets 1-2 starts in AAA to stay stretched out until the Braves need 5 SPs.

I would. Let kaz fail. Let Newk show he is ready. Tell him he is next to call up as long as he goes down and throws strikes.

Swanson had a back problem during spring training last year. I’ve wondered how long it affected him last year.

A Newk with this kind of control would be absolutely filthy.

Yep. In one of Olney's articles, Olney talks about the importance of a pitcher being able to throw a get it over breaking ball for a strike to either get ahead in the count or come back from behind. David Ross calls these "dumpers." Olney then quoted a scout saying Newcomb has started throwing these this spring, a sure sign of development.

Wow, did the Angels get enough of a return in the Erick Aybar trade?

I don’t think BB Rate will stabilize fast enough in spring training for us to really draw anything at all from this. Need at least 170 batters faced.
Encouraging performance though

I watched several Newk minor league games. This is not new for Newk. He literally could walk 5 his next start. He is the most frustrating pitcher I have watched recently. You know by first inning if it is good Newk or bad Newk.
