It’s a massive spot, but the Washington Nationals' equally Ryan Quigley Jets Jersey massive right-hander -- who stands 6-foot-6, weighs 255 pounds, and is considered the No. 1 pitching prospect in baseball -- is just the guy for the job.
When Lucas Giolito makes his big-league debut on Tuesday night, he’ll do so against Matt Harvey and the New York Mets in the middle of a key three-game series between NL East rivals
And it has absolutely nothing to do with his tantalizingly http://www.officialjetsnflproshop.com/AUTHENTIC+TOMMY+BOHANON+JERSEY talented arm. Well, maybe it has a little bit to do with the cannon. But mostly it’s about the cool.
"He’s a confident kid," GM Mike Rizzo said prior to Monday’s series opener in D.C. "I think he’ll handle the pressure of his major league debut against a really good team like the New York Mets in stride and give us a chance to win the baseball game."
Despite what Giolito’s done on the bump, it’s how he’s acted on flat ground that’s been most impressive. The son of actress Lindsay Frost and nephew of “Twin Peaks” creator Mark Frost, the 21-year-old righty is clearly comfortable in front of the bright lights and hot mics. At his first big-league spring training this past February, Giolito wowed reporters with his clubhouse composure. Despite having thrown just 47 innings above Class-A, he vowed that his goal was to make his major league debut this season. Four months later, after going 5-3 with a 3.17 ERA in 14 starts at Double-A Harrisburg, that’s exactly what’s happening.
Just call him Cool Hand Lucas.
Who cares if he’s bypassing Mike Wallace Authentic Jersey Triple-A completely? Certainly not the fearless Giolito, whose earliest memory is splashing water into a bush that contained a beehive and getting stung 20 times. "Amazingly," he said back in spring training, "I’m not afraid of bees."
Being under the microscope is nothing new for Giolito. A stud prospect coming out of Harvard-Westlake High School in Los Angeles, his stock dropped because of an elbow injury during his senior year. Giolito’s stuff was so good that even though the Nationals knew he was planning on having Tommy John surgery shortly after the 2012 draft, they still took him with the 16th overall pick. Had it not been for the elbow issues, he no doubt would’ve gone earlier -- like 15 spots earlier, give or take.
When it comes to teams rolling http://www.officialauthenticvikingsstore.com/AUTHENTIC+JEFF+LOCKE+JERSEY the dice on prep pitchers with preexisting injuries, Giolito was pretty much the test case. It’s a gig that comes with plenty of pressure, but he hasn’t let it get to him.
