Jason Neighborgall

...yuck

 

Possibly the hardest thrower from the 2005 draft. Adding his early 2007 stats to his 2006 stats, this is what you get.

 

14 IP

14 hits (not bad)

17 K's (nice)

53 BB (that's not a typo).

 

You aren't going to have a good ERA when, on average, you walk in a run each inning. That doesn't show HBP or WP, either.

Wow.

If you put a catapult on the mound you'd get more accurate results.

Reminds me of what Patrick (colbyjack) said about Neighborgall in his scouting report, "he likely will be a disappointment with a golden arm."

 

edit: Patrick's scouting report on Neighborgall:

He must have a serious arm to still be around after putting up those kind of stats. What a horribly boring game he must pitch.

[UWRyan428]

He probably cost an arm and a leg as he is represented by Boras.

[JoeHova]

wow, I kind of feel bad for him.

[sheetswannabe]

Switch that to 55 walks....

I'm am very glad the Red Sox did not pay this guy when he was in high school. What a huge bust he became.
