I have to say, I always forget about Weigel. Very nice BA article about him.

I've noticed that since Roy Clark's return that the Braves have drafted a lot of big guys with big fastballs. It's not always going to work, but it's a good place to start.

I didn't know he had a 70 FB.. 22 in A ball, he needs to be tested next year though. I would hope he finishes next season with Mississippi at least.

It's not just Weigel. Clark is a hard thrower who isn't pitching very well at Carolina. Evan Phillips can hit 95. But the thing I've also noticed is that they draft physically big guys. A lot of them are over 6-2 and go between 200 and 225.

I assume (never a safe thing to do) that Weigel will move pretty fast once they are confident his fundamentals will hold up at a higher level.

So I totally had no clue that Dan Meyer was a pitching coach for us these days until reading that article. Good read.
