I agree with most of that. His height challenges are counter-acted by his ability to hide the ball, which makes it seem faster than the low-90s he's throwing. IMO he might not hide the ball as well if he were throwing it from a greater height differential/plane, so the two things may work in concert better than I even thought they did. He's been sharpening up his breaking pitches without losing his terrific accuracy.
I don't like him as much as I liked Gohara, but I think Gohara can be a Lefty Zambrano type if his shoulder holds up. Neidert is more a #2-3 guy, but there's some Roy Oswalt in him that makes me sit up when I see him pitch. Based on our recent pitching luck I'm just hoping he makes it up off the farm without being devoured by cannibals, but that report is a good representation of what I like about him.
Might as well have some uplifting news, right? The 20 year old Neidert's 10th in the Cal League (among starters) in K/9, and 7th in K:BB ratio. Always nice when a young guy who knows how to pitch can also get plenty of Ks in a hitter's league. Fingers crossed for his survival.
