He looked pretty good, whiffed 7 but gave up a couple of long hits (HR and a 3B) and a walk. He had a very easy first inning. 

Yeah
Felt very JV-like.
Completely dominant for stretches but then a hitter would run in to one.
Gave up a solo shot and a triple down in the LF corner.
But you could definitely see the potential. His stuff is just filthy. Flipping 98 up there looking like he’s playing soft toss and then can come with some nasty offspeed stuff

You can see he has the stuff to be successful at the highest level—probably now.

I’m maybe most excited that he and JV should have 2-3 years being around each other every day.

Great read from Kaplan.
Chirinos doing work to address all of the concerns/skepticism when he was signed.
Early returns are that things are trending positive (although he couldn’t get much lower on defense). Time will tell.
