Former Oriole Ben McDonald Talks Pitching From Gausman & Bundy
Ben McDonald joined the Orioles' starting rotation back in 1990 and in his first major league start threw a complete game shutout against the Chicago White Sox.
McDonald joined Vinny and Haynie this morning to talk about Orioles pitching, Gausman and more.
McDonald commented on pitchers Gausman and Bundy and how things are changing for them both. He started with Bundy saying, "For a guy that doesn't have many minor league innings at all, and doesn't have many big league innings, I felt like he looked really good, he looked poised to me. I love his stuff. It's outstanding for a young guy who hasn't accumulated a bunch of innings yet, I like where he's at. I think this pennant race is going to boil down, can the starting pitching get a little more consistent for the Orioles and can the timely hitting be there as well?"
He continued to talk about Bundy's build and why he's primed for pitching. "I look at mechanics, I look at control. I think he's fine. I love his physical build. So much of conditioning for pitchers, is not about our arm, it's about our legs. How strong is our core and this kid's got legs like a running back."
