He's good, but King Felix stole the show. What a performance. I can't think of a pitcher to ever throw his breaking stuff that hard.
I didn't know it was possible to sit a 99, and have your last pitch hit 99. The guy is a mutant. Then he throws his slider in the mid 90s and his curve a mid 80s. It's not fair. This guy is 20?!? He's definitely special.

He just turned 21.
The ESPN guns were fast, they even mentioned that they were about 3 mph faster than the guns at Fenway. Still, sitting at 95-96 and throwing a 90 mph slider is wicked.
im kinda worried about his slider gaining a few ticks. it puts a lot of torque on his elbow ligaments. i dont want him to have to visit andrews like liriano
