Nate Pearson has always been driven by data. And the BlueJays are happy to let that data drive how they deploy their star pitching prospect. (ArdenZwelling)

DUNEDIN, Fla. — While most of TD Ballpark — the humble spring training home of the—has been thoroughly renovated over the last 12 months, with new seats, new concession stands, and a new boardwalk circling the outfield, some critical elements of a minor-league stadium remain missing. The scoreboard radar gun hasn’t been installed yet, for instance. Neither has the TrackMan system, which is said to be coming later this week.

"He was pretty dialled in, I guess," McGuire said, drolly, after catching Pearson’s inning. "It was almost closer-like in that first inning. Just pumping fastballs, pumping everything right by everyone." "It’s all part of it now. I want to be great. And with greatness comes a lot of other stuff. So, I just try to be normal about it."

"You know what’s incredible? He’s got the electric stuff, big arm, big boy. But he works his butt off. He really puts in the work. He’s so dedicated. Every day he’s doing something," Murphy said. "It doesn’t matter what’s going on, what the day is like — he’s going to take care of his business. You can count on that. And every fifth day he’s going to be ready. He’s going to do all that he can to be ready to go on game day.

"To say a 20 per cent increase is the right way to go," said Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins, "there’s not a lot of research or evidence behind that." That’s the kind of injury a lot of athletes would be tempted to play through unnecessarily, which can only serve to worsen the problem and potentially create additional ones as they compensate for the pain.
