It's one thing to hear about a prospect's talent. It's another thing to actually see it, and Ryan Sloan continues to be a perfect case study for the Seattle Mariners this spring. He only needed 12 pitches to dominate his Cactus League debut, and that was just a warmup for Spring Breakout.
By the time his work against the Milwaukee Brewers' top prospects on Friday was done, Sloan had gone nine up, nine down over three innings. He did it on just 39 pitches, including 24 strikes.
Sure, it was the Brewers' prospects who had the last laugh in a 7-3 win.
