What's his repertoire that's striking out all these batters?

 

I think he only pitched one inning tonight since his promotion to Bham. Any thoughts if the Sox want him to log some reliever innings to see if he can help this year as a long man? Seems like a special case where that might work- must have electric stuff to get those K totals. Bobby Jenks 2.0?

I watched him pitch last year, wrote this report. We also have a prospect profile on him on Future Sox, right here.

 

Since then his FB has gotten stronger, more 91-93 range. He's also got a slider that I didn't get to see.

 

I also asked Jose Bautista (W-S Pitching Coach) about him yesterday, and that will be published this coming week. The Sox see him as a reliever, not a starter. Probably a middle or long reliever.
