What I Saw: July 11th, 2009 Savannah Sand Gnats vs. Lexington Legends

Raul Reyes has a nice swing, but must work on his pitch selection.
Ross Seaton is a pretty damn good pitcher. Good 2-seam fastball.
I am loving the cheerleaders in between innings.
Robert Carson complete domination of the Lexington lineup as he throws 2nd 9-inning complete game shutout in the SAL league.

Robert Carson’s pitchcount: 22 Balls – 70 strikes = 92 total pitches.
Carson threw mostly fastballs that he located with perfection that the Legends just simply could not hit. The fastball was mostly 88-90 and he did hit 92 once. He could throw the fastball up, down, in, out no matter what the pitch was just unhittable. He threw some sliders that went as high as 86 mph. He did a good job keeping it down getting grounders with it when he threw it. I saw only a handful of change ups that he didn’t really need to use, but threw a few and located them well. Nothing bad from Carson on the night.

1st inning:

  • Jefry Marte jumped on a first pitch fastball that was high to clobber it into deep left field for a homerun.
  • Robert Carson – GB to 2nd (2 pitches), BB (6 pitches), GB  to 2nd (3 pitches), GB to 2nd (3 pitches) 5 balls – 9 strikes. Touched 90 mph.
  • Poor turn of attempted double play by Imbewer Alvarez.
  • Pelligrini looks like a house!

2nd inning:

  • Eric Campbell worked the count nice for a leadoff walk.
  • Leblanc had a nice inside-out swing of a ball to right field.
  • Robert Carson – K via fastball (3 pitches), GB  to SS (1 pitch), GB to 2nd (1 pitch) 0 balls – 5 strikes (all fastballs)

3rd inning:

  • Marte attempted to bunt for a hit, but was barely thrown out.
  • Sean Ratliff struck out looking on a nasty two-seam fastball

4th inning:

  • Again Campbell showing great plate discipline

  • Great pick at first base by Campbell.

5th inning:

  • Robert Carson – GB to SS error (3 pitches), FO to center (4 pitches), GB to 2nd (4 pitches), pickoff (1 pitch) 2balls -10 strikes
  • Pickoff was all the batters fault he simply took off to early.
