Danny Duffy will face Carlos Zambrano in just a few minutes. The skinny on Duffy: high three-quarter delivery, left-handed, throws hard, rookie. He was a 3rd round pick in 2007, right out of High School.
Level IP G GS Rookie 46.1 15 13 Low-A 81.1 17 17 High-A 140.2 27 27 Double-A 39.2 7 7 Triple-A 36.0 7 7 Majors 34.0 7 7 Kinda green.
His Spring Training PITCHf/x data from 2009 and 2010 don't show a slider, but he is throwing one this year. This goes with his curveball and change-up, and of course his bread-and-butter four-seam fastball. I haven't ruled out (or in) two-seamers in the margins.
Although Duffy was a high-K low-BB pitcher in the minor leagues, he has struggled since his promotion. But his last outing was well in line with his minor league numbers.
