Luis Severino's Fastball - Severino was all kinds of filthy against the White Sox on Tuesday, racking up twelve strikeouts through seven impressive frames. Our favorite may have been with this Fastball that had a life of its own, fanning Matt Davidson as the ball seemingly rose up-and-in at a blistering 98mph.
What always impresses me about pitches like Severino’s 98mph fastball is the Umps. Thats 98mph with pretty badly missed location that is tailing directly at his neck, no flinch. I guess you get numb to it after awhile, but still.
