At best, he's hit the radar gun once infront of a scout. He's (on average) around 96 MPH with great control. Apparently, that isn't his best pitch either. Apparently he has a sick-nasty curveball that comes from the same arm angle in the 70s MPH range. He has a plus slider in the 80s MPH range. I remember seeing something that resembled a good change-up while pitching for Team USA, but it mighth ave just been a slow curve or something. Not sure, but it looks like it had potential. Complete package with the advanced motion and arm slot angle. He doesn’t throw 100. At best, he’s hit the radar gun once infront of a scout. He’s (on average) around 96 MPH with great control.

This guy is far and away "the balls" of the 2009 class. I've seen him pitch 3 times, and am more impressed every time I see him pitch.
