It has been an exciting week for those who have been waiting for prospect pitchers to arrive. First we had Blake Snell make his MLB debut against the Yankees over the weekend, and before Sean Manaea and Michael Fulmer make their debuts on Friday, we got a taste of Jose Berrios Wednesday evening as he faced the Indians at home. The 21-year-old right-hander has been impressive in his time in AAA, holding a 103/22 K per BB in 92.2 innings with a FIP under 2.80 in both 2015 and 2016. Berrios features a Fastball that ranges from the low-to-upper 90s. His Changeup and Curveball round out the repertoire, and I was itching to see what the top prospect had for us as he began his rookie season in the majors.

As always with GIF Breakdowns, let's first take a look at Berrios' strikezone plot for the evening:
