I still have faith that Gohara can figure things out and become a successful starter, but I think he also has a really good chance of being a valuable bullpen piece. Its possible that by the time he figures things out, our rotation is full and we have to move him to a high leverage bullpen role.
 
Doesn’t Fulmer throw a FA that averages 96?

Wilson has ditched the 2 seamer on a tip from the FO. Throwing the 4 seamer and getting that kind of speed of it apparently. You can go back and look at the box scores and tell when it clicked for him.

BTW, you would think a Fulmer comp would earn him a top 100 nod.

That’s what seemed weird to me. FG has been the ranking lowest on Wilson for sure.
 
Longenhagen compared Bryse Wilson to Michael Fulmer in his chat today, saying "I hate comps, but when it's right it's right."

Apparently saw his outing last night. Will be a bigger write up on his daily prospect notes later today. That should be a good read...

Bryse Wilson touched 97 several times last night and sat 93-95 late in the outing. He pounded the zone with his fastball (72 of 98 pitches were for strikes) and blew it past several hitters up above the strike zone. His slider (mostly 83-85, though he lollipops some slower ones into the zone for first-pitch strikes) flashes plus but is mostly average and is only capable of missing bats when it’s out of the zone. Wilson’s slider is fringey and firm, without much bat-missing movement, but the velocity separation off of the fastball is enough to keep hitters from squaring it up, and it’s going to be an effective pitch. The entire package (Wilson’s physicality and stuff) looks very similar to Michael Fulmer and Wilson’s delivery is much more graceful and fluid than it was when he was in high school, when scouts thought it would impact his ability to command the fastball and possibly move him to the bullpen.

I have Fulmer with a 95-96 FA with above average rise (~60 overall), a slightly below average SL, and an above average CH.

Without the above average CH I don't think we can realistically expect Wilson to be the next Fulmer. FG hangs a 45 present and 50 future on his CH, for what it's worth.
 
Holy ****...

I Touki'd this guy and thought he was 23-24 for some reason.

Why am I subconsciously thinking some of these pitching prospects are older than they really are? Have the recent Wislers and Blairs jaded me this much?

I did the exact same thing. For some reason I was thinking he was out of college and was like 24. Being 20 changes everything for him.
