Reds win and it would be great for Reds to win Saturday and make sure they win this Arizona series and then go for the sweep Sunday.
That pitcher was hitting 101 mph, and then McLain hit a grand slam homer on what they claim was a pitch at 109 MPH. We saw that with Chapman sometimes though and certainly with Hunter Greene. Major Leaguers can hit the fastball, even if over 100 mph. In the Big League a pitcher needs good pitches besides the Heater. I remember Lee May having trouble with the outside curve, but Lee May and Big Klu got that fixed. The pitchers in the majors have some wicked breaking pitches, and they need to, because big league hitters can jack a fastball if that's the only pitch you got. Mario Soto had a great fastball, but he had one of the best change up's ever. Tom Seaver had other pitches besides his great fastball.
