Rehab Work at the Complex
RHP Alex Garbrick threw his first live BP session (15 pitches) on Ashburn field. As is custom amongst rehab hurlers the other pitchers gathered behind home plate to watch him perform. Alex not only threw off the mound but on his last pitch ran over to catch a high pop foul down the first base line much to the delight of all watching - rehab pitching coordinator Aaron Barrett told me to make sure I mentioned the bonus PFP work done in the session - good stuff 🤓.
