Paul Gibson

David was a multi-sport guy in high school and a really good football player.

And so the...

The processes with him were a little bit different in terms of baseball training versus football training.

This year, he's been 90-93.

We don't expect him to be a high, high-velocity guy, but we do believe there's a tick more in there.

Coming from the Northeast and not having a whole lot of workload innings-wise, we expect that jump, whatever it may be, to be a little bit –

slower in terms of years but I would rather have a guy that has the ability to pound the strike zone the way he does with four pitches and let's just take the velocity as it comes because he's flown the ball very well his locations have been really good and his advancement in his his attack plan has been very good as well so they're different in a lot of ways but the

the common thing between these two guys is that they are, they're baseball IQs, uh, and their work ethic are really good.

Yeah, I'll start with Lampkin.

Uh, this has been a very pleasant surprise, uh,

We knew what we were getting when the draft came last year and he was described to us by the scouts and the people who had seen him.

The pitchability is off the charts.

What we didn't know was the velocity was going to be so good.

He's been in the mid-90s, and we just recently moved him to double-A, and his start two nights ago was very indicative of

What we've been seeing, a guy that has an attack plan with four pitches, he's got a little bit of funk in his delivery, hides the ball really well, and he knows exactly what he wants to do.

He uses both sides of the plate extremely well.

We are working on his changeup a little bit more, but I would expect health being good as things move forward.

we have a chance of paying this guy next year to help us at the major league level as a starter.

Yeah, so we have a lot of people in the process, and a lot of the timing in his delivery based on the biomechanical reports don't lead us to think that there's anything going on that would suggest that we need to make changes due to the injury risk.

So he's on time with his arm.
