Myers looked like a better than average runner to me, both in the field and running the bases.
I had seen him graded at 40-45 in the offseason, but I think that was his leg injuries holding him back. Looked 55-ish to me. Might even be 60.
Ventura is electric. Hope he can hold up as a starter long-term, because the velocity and movement are nasty. And the changeup plays so well off of that.
Odorizzi looked like I expected. He can command that fastball up and down and to both sides of the plate. Off-speed stuff looks like it still needs refinement. I think he only threw two curves that I saw, and they both were flat.
The slider he threw to K the final guy was a pretty good pitch. Only one-plane movement, but it looked like good late movement.
