For the past few weeks I’ve been super pumped for Dan Straily‘s arrival — like, Brett Lawrie-on-a-shizzload-of-RedBull pumped.  I first wrote about him here, providing a little background and a brief scouting report.  Then, earlier this week, I rolled out my Top Ten Prospects for the Stretch Run, and Straily topped the list.  He debuted on Friday night.  I watched.  And what I saw was pretty much what we expected:  Straily worked his fastball at 91-92, touching 93 a handfull of times, commanding it all over the zone, and drawing variable contact.  He countered with his sharp slider and his fading change often.  Both offerings looked like plus pitches, generating whiff-rates right around 25%.  He also threw a few curveballs, but he used the pitch sparingly, and it looked like nothing more than a get-me-over type.  When he needed to throw strikes, he threw strikes.  And as his pitch count reached toward triple-digits, his velocity didn’t dip, and his pitch movement remained steady.  There was one glaring mistake, however:  the run he allowed in the fourth inning on a sac fly from Rajai Davis.  Straily flat out hung that slider — zero movement, 82 mph, fat part of the plate.  Davis should’ve blasted that pitch.  Check it out the Brooks Baseball charts from that at bat and see what I mean.  And check out the rest of Straily’s Brooks charts here — the site is off-the-chain cool.  In all, though, I was impressed.  The A’s ‘pen squandered his W, but Straily looks like he’ll handle himself very well going forward.  Go ahead and blow out your FAAB.
