Detroit Tigers rookie right-hander Rick Porcello has gotten a rave review from one of the most respected baseball men of his time: Whitey Herzog, who attended the game Porcello started in St. Louis a few weeks ago.
“What impressed me the most is that he didn’t try to blow the hitters away,” Herzog said in a telephone interview. “He’s not overpowering. He’s a pitcher. He has good movement.” In the game in St. Louis, Porcello gave up three runs (one earned) in five innings.

He has seen lots of young pitchers over the decades.
