The Astros' former top prospect's last two starts showing encouraging signs he...
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Forrest Whitley is fulfilling his foremost spring training goal while generating hope that baseball’s former top pitching prospect is approaching his prior form.
“My goal this camp was to come in fill it up,” Whitley said afterward. “I didn’t think I was going to be extremely sharp the first five, six weeks of camp trying to get all the offspeed stuff in, changeup in, trying to get all the movement profiles back to normal. Being able to fill it up at this point is awesome.”
Whitley touched 96 mph on Saturday according to the stadium radar gun, but relied far more on his sinking two-seam fastball for four groundball outs. Two of the four hits he surrendered were ground balls that snuck past diving infielders. Minor league second baseman Chad Stevens botched a routine play in the first, too, creating a first-inning mess Whitley wiggled from with ease.
