He has an effortless looking swing, but may be partially blind.

I don't get it, why can't that pro hitter hit those 62-73 MPH pitches?

I'd expect it's at least in part because they're conditioned towards faster pitches. Tough to adjust.

suppose since he pulled the lid off in the last video, I can tell the truth: it's a splitter. basically a split-change like gagne's, but not held that way since trevor has not-freak-show sized hands. same action, spin, and direction though.

yeah that makes sense, that thing thrown down and away to lefties seems like death. i remember one in the vid being badly hung to a left handed batter and still getting a whiff due to absurd darting movement away from the barrel. ill stop gushing now but man i am excited for ST to start

he got picked up by the angels. contract pending.

fun fact: we taught him how to pitch. he was a college outfielder who hadn't pitched except 3 innings in summer ball once. MLB teams like fresh arms
