Joey Gallo Wants To Be A Pitcher Now

[mr_klc]

Gallo announced on social media in the aftermath of his release that he plans to convert to pitching going forward. The news shines additional light on Chicago’s decision to release Gallo, who can now search for a fresh minor league deal with a team interested in seeing what he can do on the mound. While Gallo has no professional experience on the mound, he did pitch in high school (even throwing a no-hitter) and has long had among the most impressive throwing arms in the game among position players, which was key to him earning two Gold Gloves in right field.

He should pitch under Jerry Callo

He needs to find a team first.

How the hell does he last 10 years in the league with a BA of .194 or make the All Star team in 2021 with a BA of .199? Has the Mendoza line become the standard?

Are you a pitcher or a catcher JJ?

MLB teams should do this conversion with their young guys that flame out early at positions. Promise you there's a closer in there somewhere.

That’s a possibility, but I’ll fade his ass through 4-5 innings as a starter giving up 5 ER on average. Maybe innings 1-2 he can be decent.

Well he's like 40 years old. But how many SS/ CF we see w rockets for an arm that simply cannot hit....out of baseball by 25 years old.

I know, for a fact, half the AAA shortstops could hit 98 mph from the mound. Can they be taught a slide piece or a hook or a effective change up? Should be able to....

Who was the braves P/ H that I believe blew out his arm trying this? Could be totally wrong. Just rings a bell
