It's 99 that you get from Suarez.

It'll be mid-90s from Iglesias.

They both have really good changeups.

Whatever happens with Rysel Iglesias, it happens fast.

I mean, he has got a ton of 10-pitcher less saves that we've seen since I've been here.

He is coming at you right away.

He's going to put you in that position to get defensive.

And he's done an excellent job.

They're both great, Greg.

I think if you know that it is your best secondary pitch, it shouldn't be that hard at all.

It's hard to get to this point in the big leagues and be trusted to get laid outs in a game if you don't know yourself well enough to be able to have the confidence to throw a changeup.

Again, it's not maybe the most exciting pitch.

The most exciting thing is getting outs, right, and throwing strikes.

And I think you could probably tell folks, I've heard enough hitters say it, the hardest pitch to hit in baseball is a really good changeup.

Right.

And there's some different versions where you're going to maybe split those fingers a little bit.

You throw that fast and you're going to get more depth on your changeup and some different things that can happen.

But both of these guys, there's a little bit of movement there, but these aren't huge depth changeups necessarily.

These are deceptive changeups because of it looking like the fastball, because the arm speed doesn't change.

And it's still as good as there's these awesome sweepers and cutters and sliders and curveballs.
