Mike Ashmore, of the great Thunder Thoughts blog, finished a great Q&A recently and if any prospect watchers haven't checked it out, I would def. recommend it. Mike interviews Trenton Thunder pitching coach Scott Aldred on each pitcher on the starting staff. It's a nice way to get a first-hand look from someone who works with each player on a regular basis. There are interviews on Chase Wright, Daniel McCutchen, Jason Jones, Phil Coke, and lastly, George Kontos.

Here are some highlights:

Chase Wright:
SA: “Chase is a great pitch guy, (we’re) really working on getting his breaking ball serviceable so it becomes a Major League pitch for him. The other stuff’s there, the sink on the ball. Changeup, split. We’re just working breaking ball right now.

Daniel McCutchen:
SA: “Breaking ball command. The spin and break is there. Power changeup. Commands his fastball pretty good, should improve. Some delivery issues, minimal. Really learning how to command the breaking ball instead of overthrowing it.”

Phil Coke:
SA: “Coke, work with his breaking ball. He’s kind of like Chase Wright a little bit. Changeup’s there, his fastball command, even though you haven’t seen it yet, is pretty good. It just hasn’t shown up yet. But we’re just working on spin and break with his breaking ball. Making it quality so he’s able to handle left handed hitters at a higher level.”

George Kontos:
SA: “George has some delivery issues that we’re trying to work on so he can be consistent with all three of his pitches. Four, actually. He throws curveball, though you don’t hardly see it in games. Once that’s resolved, you’re going to see a different George Kontos. He’s got a plus slider, the changeup’s coming, both fastballs. He’s got a real nice arm and a bright future. We just have to make sure we’re hammering this delivery issue right now. Get it resolved and then move on.”
