How far over the backstop do we think the ball went?
Say what you will but the guy knows a thing or two about strikeouts
I need more players to pull a Brian Wilson and try to come back as a knuckleballer
Not enough drive in legs.
I mean if anyone knows how to get batters to strike out it would be the guy who strikes out the most right?
When evaluating pitchers, seeing where the ball goes is probably the least important part.
That’s a large man.
Yep, that looks like pitching.
Someone teach this man how to knuckleball
I mean, this is the man that threw a no-hitter, then took Greg Maddux’s daughter to prom in the same day
Don’t think he understands his strike outs and batting average stats don’t transfer over from batting to pitching…
But if they did!
Anyone know how hard he throws. He won’t get a chance unless he’s throwing mid 90s at least
I’m not Joey Gallo, Joey Gallo is an outfielder. I’m Joey Callo, the pitcher, with a C
I’ve seen enough.
White Sox, go sign him.
All arms no ass
He only walks people and gives up homeruns, not a lot of hits.
If there’s one thing I know it’s that arm strength goes up as you get older. They won’t let Randy Johnson pitch anymore because he would be throwing 135 MPH and it would be unsafe for all wildlife in the area.
I feel like he could get more out of his bottom half. Theres no speed gun readouts but I’m sure he can add a bit more mph with a bit more extension and releasing the ball more out in front.
Yeah, good luck with that
rooting for you, Joey. hope it works out for you
He already hits like a pitcher.
That’s not Joey Gallo! That’s Joey Callo! C-A-L-L-O
Pitcher de Gallo
A reverse Ankiel!
I don’t follow Gallo.. at all.
Why is he pitching?? Why isn’t he just playing his normal position?
I mean, he’s only 32.
I kinda hope he can pull it off.
Should post in r/homeplate. “I’m trying out for a 35U professional team, looking for feedback”
taking up pitching for the first time in your 30s is an interesting choice
That’s a pretty short stride, my guy. Guessing he’s either topping out at 86 or burning through his UCL as we speak.
Just.. a bit outside
This guy, thanks to the advice of Scott botas said to no a 88 million extension offer by the Texas rangers when he was still in arbitration years, now he doesn’t even get minor league contracts
Got that 90s pitcher batting average already checked off
110 MPH fastball incoming
Ball is absolutely on fire
Damn time flies. I remember this guy used to be in that funny tv show
He should reach out to his prom date to see if her Dad can offer a few pointers
That’s Joey Callo
One thing I will say is Gallo has always had a fucking cannon, but where the ball ends up is anyone’s guess
He’ll find a way to strike himself out
May 5th is when he’ll probably debut. Then, we can finally get a peek o’ de Gallo.
What happens when he can’t pitch a strike and has his first meltdown. I hope he gets a shot but I don’t think Rick Ankiel was as crazy as Gallo
