Wonderful splitter. Matsui should probably be our closer and Suarez the set-up / otherwise-high-leverage man.
Really excited to see more of this guy, his stuff has been fun to watch so far

Mom I love him
Splitter is looking good, but it’s his fastball that has to play during the regular season. Once teams see him a few times and there’s video on him, we will see if his stuff is going to be good enough for high leverage situations. So far so good, but there’s still some concern with guys his stature having an effective fastball. He has a rising fastball, which is important due to the level he’s throwing at off the mound. If he’s not getting strikes with the fastball, guys will just lay off the splitter.
