This mornings USA Today paper they had an article on the Cuban defector pitching for the Reds.
The 23 year old will pitch again out of the bullpen this year.
The paper listed some of his freakish accomplishments:
This happened in a Sept 24 game in San Diego last year.
1. His first 3 pitches in MLB= 102mph 102mph 103mph...Strikeout against Adrian Gonzalez-He swung at all pitches.
2. He hit 104MPH on the gun 3 times and then 105MPH.
There is little doubt in my mind that I have never seen anything like this.
MLB hitters will rue the day, if he learns control and the intricacies of how to pitch.

I hope we get to watch him for a while before he shreds his elbow or shoulder. How can his ligaments withstand that stress?
