    AMA By Kyle Boddy

    Decided to post this in Minor Leagues. Mostly about them. Very interesting. He really likes Braxton Roxby

    From AMA - Under the radar guys he likes

    NDFA RHR Braxton Roxby in Dayton is a popular target, but so is RHP Carson Spiers (Daytona Beach), RHR Ryan Olson (Chattanooga), RHP Eduardo Salazar (Dayton), RHR Vin Timpanelli (Daytona Beach), RHR Jake Gozzo (Daytona Beach), and RHP Jose Franco (complex league, likely Daytona Beach soon).

    Today across MLB you see most starters break in as relievers and then go back to starting if its in their best interest.
    I've literally been saying for more than a decade that the Reds needed to do this.

    So here's your feel good story of the day. The first question on the AMA was from an amateur pitcher trying to get noticed. Posted his spin rates.

    Reds signed him yesterday.

    Appreciate what you are doing here, have learned a lot from this Q&A!

    I planned on just sticking to my question but I figured I would shoot my shot in here because well, why not..

    I am NDFA RHP currently going into my second full season of Indy ball. FB 92-96 avg 2400-2600rpm & ~18-21in of HB. Gyro SL 83-87 avg2700-3000rpm and SplCH 80-84 with 16-18in HB.

    Posted a line of 21IP 4ER 0.71 WHIP 33/2 K/BB 14.1 K/9 in a Covid-shortened Frontier league season. My goal is to sign with an affiliate team bc I know I can add value to an org.

    Thanks for your time Kyle!

    Awesome. Keep playing. Send me your pitch physics reports (Trackman/Rapsodo) and any video you have. kboddy@reds.com works.

    Holy wow. What a great story.
    Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2

    The day he posted on Reddit was the pitchers birthday. I smell a TV movie coming....

    I just saw this article on espn+ but could only read the first few paragraphs. Immediately when I saw the headline I thought of Boddy and the Redit AMA. So freakin cool. I absolutely love what Boddy is doing...hope the Reds are smart enough to not let him leave. This may end up never working out for this kid...but looking under every rock may not be a bad thing. Never know what may turn up.

    Not just that.

    Getting the reputation for being innovative or for looking for every advantage is an advantage itself.

    It's fantastic PR even if nothing else comes of it.
