Drey Jameson Lights Up the Gun in First AFL Outing
Drey Jameson made his first appearance in the Fall League. In what amounts to a rehab assignment, the hard-throwing right-hander had his top velocity.
SCOTTSDALE – The Salt River Rafters opened up their season with a 7-3 victory over the Glendale Desert Dogs.
Drey Jameson made his first appearance in the Fall League. In what amounts to a rehab assignment, the hard-throwing right-hander had his top velocity. He fired his first pitch at 97.8 MPH (sinker), then bullied overmatched hitters with 98-99 MPH four-seamers. He got a chase on his slider that resulted in a ground ball he took to first base unassisted.
Jameson faced three hitters, retiring them all on ground ball outs. He threw eight pitches, five for strikes. He was credited with the win when Charlie Condon drove in the go-ahead run in the bottom of the seventh.
Nice, clean 7th inning for Drey Jameson.

The fact that Jameson not only was able to throw the ball well, from both a velocity and command standpoint, is important. With a lot of open spots in the bullpen next spring, the right-hander should have a solid chance of making the club.
