He needs to continue to get his K’s per 9 up. He’s at 6.6 this year which is better than last year (slightly), but still appears to be slightly below average (If 7.1 is still regarded as average). If he could get to 7.5 to 8 that would be great.

I don’t know if his inability to get strikeouts is related to location or that he doesn’t change speeds. Kyle Farnsworth could throw pretty hard too and he got knocked around, and his K’s per 9, 8.8 for his career, were much higher than Eovaldi’s.

But I agree that the Yanks saw something in this kid and I’m glad they moved Prado to get him.

Crazy. 102. Wow. Can’t teach an arm like that. Hope this year isn’t a fluke – knocking on wood.
