It certainly looks like the young man knows how to made quick adjustments. His durabilty is established, and his savvy is unquestioned–I like P.J.’s chances to be a solid Suppanesque success down the line….

for what its worth

walters was given his pitching charts when he left quad cities.& i have seen these , his avg speed every start was 87 he usually topped at 90 but sat at 87.i know what everyone says but these are actual game charts from quad cities they are correct.also he never throws a 4 seamer so he could throw a little harder if he wanted to throw it straighter. i know towards the end of the year his velocity was down alittle but have you seen the innings he has thrown over the last 4 seasons. its amazing his arm hasnt fallen off. i will say this he was at south alabama last monday throwing a bullpen & he topped at 91 . i saw his bullpen with my own eyes so this isnt hear say. & the change up was still nasty.i was looking forward to seeing him pitch again in the jags vs pros game on feb 9th but he was very excited to tell us he has to report to training camp on the 8th.he is fun to watch. hopefully we will get to see him in AAA at new orleans. i agree with sickel some things about pitching cant be taught & walters has it.

I saw him towards the end of the season when he was at springfield and his velocity was in the 85 range, but this poster does bring some insight. p.j. doesn’t throw a four seem, all of his pitches have movement, and he’s certainly not a max effort guy.

one thing I wonder about is if he has any projectability left. he’s still quite thin and looks las if he could add more mass to his frame. if he can hit the low nineties, and can gain any velocity, than we might have a real pitching prospect on our hands
