When we got Duran last year, I thought it was a good trade for us.
This guy's lethal.
I mean, he is throwing just bowling balls up there.
He's throwing splitters at 98 to 99.
He's a different cat.
But the pitching has gotten really, really good.
They're just not swinging the bats.
And they had a decent series against the White Sox, started to hit the ball out of the ballpark a little bit.
But, yeah, I agree with you, Kevin.
This is a team that was built on slug, and we haven't seen it this year.
Okay.
There's been pieces here and there.
It's his arm speed.
It's his deception.
The guy's huge.
He's 6'7".
And, you know, he repeats his mechanics extremely well.
But, I mean, big league hitters aren't dumb.
Obviously, at some point, you're going to sit on it.
But it seems like when it gets to home plate, it either just drops off the table or he feathers it away to righties.
