Tall Pitching Staff Begins to Throw

A lot of the Reds pitchers in camp could play for Chris Mack at Xavier or Mick Cronin at UC.

"I look around camp and I see some tall pitchers," Dusty Baker said Wednesday on the first day of Spring Training workouts.  Of course if he looked down he could see Daniel Ray Herrera, who at 5'6" is knee high to a secondbaseman or Mike Leake, who is generously listed at 6'1" but is more like 5'10".


In this bullpen session Logan Ondrusek is 6'8", Aroldis Chapman is 6'4", Jordan Smith is also 6'4".  Jerry Gil a converted outfielder is the runt at 6'3" and local product Matt Klinker out of Lakota West High and Furman University is 6'4"
