(13,207 posts)4. He was called up directly from high A ball
Skipped AA and Triple A, had command issues early and kind of faded late in the season.
But if he can work through those issue - and he should be able to, he was just 21 last season - Then we have an unreal weapon out of the pen.
in 88 innings, this kid threw two thirds of all the pitches over 100mph that were thrown all season BY ALL THE PITCHERS IN MLB.
His average pitch speeds are unreal -The following is a summary from Brooks Baseball (http://www.brooksbaseball.net/landing.php?player=663855)
In 2018, he relied primarily on his Sinker (101mph) and Slider (87mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (102mph).
I don't know if you guys are chart junkies like I am, but this chart tracking season long velocity averages is baseball math porn of the highest order:
