BEST STUFF; STUFF: Joba Chamberlain, rhp, Double-A Trenton (Yankees)
Chamberlain didn't make his debut out of extended spring training until May, but has dominated since then. The 2006 supplemental first-rounder was promoted to Trenton a month later where he's continued to dominate hitters with 48 strikeouts in 28 innings for the Thunder.
"We're talking plus fastball with good, late life to it and the secondary pitches were outstanding," another scout from a National League club said. "His slider was plus today; his curveball was good and his changeup was impressive too.
"He showed the best pure stuff in this game, and that might be because he's an advanced college pitcher. But he was an advanced college pitcher with a lot of question marks health-wise. He looks a lot better, his arm works fairly easily and he's got the stuff and the feel to pitch. The guy knows how to attack."
