The Nest | 46.15 | Young Prospect Called up to Lynchville
Young Prospect Called up to Lynchville
July 14, 2046
by Banjo Jackson
Nashville, TN
Bluebirds top prospect, Wafid Bishr, was called up from the international complex last week in hopes to expedite his development. The slugger got off to a hot start in his first week as a professional with the Lynchville Whiskeyjacks, hitting safely in all five games on the way to a .450/.522/1.000 line including 2 HR and 3 BB. Bishr was so highly anticipated that he was selected to the All-Star Futures Game before playing a single inning in the minors. While scouts believe Bishr possesses the hitting skills necessary to thrive at the BBA level, they are still searching for a position that the young man will find comfortable, while not being too detrimental to the team.
RHB Wafid Bishr
Bishr is currently plugged in at 2B, but will likely see time at 1B since his arm doesn’t seem to have healed correctly following a cleaver accident when he was 15 years old. Lebanese surgeons attempted to reattach a ligament in his right arm, but extensive nerve damage has left the ex-goat farmer with limited range of motion in his elbow. That didn’t stop Nashville scouts from offering $5 million to sign with the team just a year later. Bishr was put on an immediate bulk program that helped his weight increase from 159 pounds to 168 pounds of pure muscle. While it may still be a few years until Bishr is in a Nashville lineup, the future looks promising for the Lebanese national.

That boy will need a cutoff to turn a double play.

Life is a bit more beautiful when time is measured by the half inning rather than the half hour.

To call him a noodle arm would be an insult to noodles

Crazy. There must be a floor where it doesn’t matter or the game doesn’t take into account arm strength when turning a dp.

I think he’s really left handed but loves 2B so much he’s learning to throw right handed.CTBrewCrew wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 9:21 pmI pulled this clip from the locker room pre-game. Kids arm looks ok to me
