Behind home plate, scouts consulted with one another to figure out what was what.
The consensus was seven pitches: a straight four-seam fastball that rides up to 95 mph,
a sinking two-seam fastball that sits at 91, a cut fastball that jumps in on the hands of left-handers around 91,
a curveball that spins slowly at 72 or tight at 78, a classic changeup at 80, a power slider at 86
and a shuuto, the Japanese pitch that sinks like a screwball, at 81.

"Kid's got moxie. He's got something, all right."
