Harnessing it could mean another very scary pitcher in our rotation. Looks about right. He could be the best pitcher in baseball if he can get rid of that "head thwack" mechanical flaw that is clearly on display in the bad pitch GIFs. That was his issue coming out of college, and, though he's improved a lot, it doesn't seem to be completely fixed. ETA: That last GIF displays just how filthy Rodon's slider can be. On 3 straight pitches, it looks like an 86 MPH cutter, an 87 MPH slider, and a 90 MPH curveball. Edited August 11, 2016 by Dam8610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
