Not every pitch was a strike — and Kazmir is still having trouble getting his new change-up over the plate — but the hitters kept on swinging and they kept on missing. Ragsdale cursed as he left the cage. Toner muttered to himself. Anderson asked catcher Joe Hietpas for advice. And Jiannetti screamed good-naturedly “Throw me a strike! Let’s go!” even as he choked on Kazmir’s high hard one. Let the record show, even when Kazmir put the ball right in Jiannetti’s kitchen, the hard-hitting infielder did little more than foul it off. The whole time, Cyclones pitching coach Bobby Oje- da — who knows something about being a young prospect with potential — just watched. The time for THE HEALTH CARE PLUS ADVANTAGE coaching will come later. “My philosophy at this point in a guy’s career is just to say ‘OK, let’s see what you got,’” Ojeda said. “I’ve seen coaches start tinkering with a guy’s grip or his foot- work too soon. At this stage, I just give him the ball and see what he can do.” Ojeda, being Ojeda, then veered into New Age territory. “He’s a good kid and he’s really lucky to have fallen in with a team that has great ‘qi,’” Ojeda said, evoking the feng shui term for energy flow that’s pronounced “chee.” “Everyone on the team wants him to succeed, even the guys he’s been striking out.” Afterwards, catcher Hietpas was impressed. “He has the best velocity I’ve ever caught,” said Hiet- pas, who’s caught Cyclones pitcher Jason Scobie’s 93- mile-per-hour heater. “Joe Jiannetti is a fastball hitter and you see he could only foul it off. That fastball just ex- plodes in the last 10 feet.” “His fastball is live,” added Toner. “It’s harder than anything we’ve seen so far this year. This ball is on you in a hurry. He throws heat.” Or, as Frank Morano, the Cyclones cameraman who filmed Kazmir’s pitching clinic, put it, “He throws aspirin.” More accurately, he throws headaches for opposing batters. or the Mets, Kazmir is the pitcher of the future, a $2.15 million gamble that a kid from Cypress FHills High School in Houston, Texas is the next Tom Seaver — or, at least, Doe Gooden. For the Cy- clones, though, Kazmir is the pitcher of the present. A few good starts by the lefty could mean the difference down the stretch. Fresh from his high school graduation, Kazmir joined the Cyclones two weeks ago, and is away from home for the first time in his life. That made his mother, Deborah, nervous. When an Associated Press reporter recently asked Kazmir’s parents about their son’s assignment to the Cyclones, Eddie Kazmir said excitedly, “I want to see where’s he’s going to play.” Deborah quickly added, “I want to see where he’s going to live.” “I think she was a little nervous about Brooklyn,” Scott Kazmir explained, the tone of an eye-roll that said, “Oh, Mom!” “But when she saw where we were living, she was fine.” Kazmir finally made his long-anticipated debut on Wednesday night against Cal Ripken Jr.’s Aberdeen Ironbirds, far from the prying eyes and big cameras of the cynical New York media. But the press box at beautiful Ripken Stadium was filled anyway thanks to the advance buzz on the Mets’ No. 1 pick. “I’m not nervous at all,” Kazmir told me on the eve of his professional baseball debut. “I just want to get out there and show what I can do instead of just watching hat is why our Health Services, Member Services, Remember, enrollment in a Medicaid health plan is vol- from the bench.” When I mentioned that he showed a lot during that and Outreach representatives are available to help untary until you receive an official notice from New York batting practice performance the other day, he got a little you get the services you need, when you need Medicaid CHOICE that you must enroll in a health plan. glint in his eye — not the cocky glint of a guy who’s T walking around with $2 million ($2 million!
