Miguel Diaz's Fastball - It was the first career strikeout for the flamethrower reliever, but we're sure to see plenty more as this pitch came in at 98mph with some serious life to nip the inside corner. Joc Pederson was stunned and so were we.
That Diaz fastball makes it move for me. Sweet Jesus.
And to think, he was a rule 5 pick from the Brewers.. who had never had the guy above Single-A? What were they thinking?!
