Brock Dykxhoorn
From the Toronto Sun
http://www.torontosun.com/2012/06/06...order-for-reds From the article, “He’s 17, going on 37,” dad said. “Brock could always throw strikes. You can’t defend against a walk. I never allowed him to throw curve balls until last year. Brandon played against pitchers throwing breaking balls at a young age. Some boys wrecked their arms.” Dykxhoorn says his son has the frame, size and desire. Now, it’s a matter of mastering his pitches.

Re: Brock Dykxhoorn
Good to hear that he is 6'8". I am so tired of the Reds only targeting short pitchers.

Re: Brock Dykxhoorn
Is that translated from Dutch (or French) or something? Strange way to talk. Can't blame a kid for wanting the college experience though. Especially a 20th rounder who wasn't offered a big signing bonus. Good luck to him.
