On Friday night, Seattle Mariners' pitching prospect Jhonathan Diaz made one of the most insane players you'll ever see on the mound. WATCH IT HERE:
However, down on the farm, incredible things were happening as well. At Triple-A Tacoma, left-handed pitcher Jhonathan Diaz made one of the most amazing plays you'll ever see.Wow. LHP Jhonathan Diaz fields the ball & throws to first with his right hand.Who says that pitchers aren't athletes? Diaz, who is left-handed, ranges towards third base and then throws back with his right-hand? That's a throw of more than 100 feet with your non-dominant hand, back across your body.
The 27-year-old Diaz is not in the Top 30 prospects for the Mariners but has put together a solid season for the M's at Triple-A. He's 6-0 this season with a 2.86 ERA in seven appearances . The M's have a very deep rotation at the big league level with Luis Castillo, George Kirby, Logan Gilbert, Bryce Miller and Bryan Woo. They also have Emerson Hancock and Diaz may slot in after him in terms of options should the M's need another starter this season.
Though he's yet to appear in a Major League game for the Mariners, he has appeared in big leagues in each of the last three seasons for the Los Angeles Angels. Lifetime, he's 2-1 with a 4.84 ERA in 11 appearances.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
