That death ball, he's talked about this.

He can't really throw a traditional curveball because of his arm slot, but the death ball, he's found something really that works for him there.

It's a little bit like Kumar Rocker a few years ago.

It just drops straight down as a slider.

Compare that to the sweeper that's breaking really well the other way.

He's got that kick changeup that works for guys who –

Can't really throw a traditional change up as well.

So he's got an option there.

The fact that he's been willing to take on so many different pitches and make it work.

His ERA was sub two last year is really, really interesting.

And I'm fascinated to see what the Rays can do, because obviously we've talked for years about how good the Rays pitching development can be.

But now you've got a guy with so many options.

Do you force him to focus on three?

which I think would have been the answer in 2021.

Or now is it just like, hey, man, keep them guessing.

If they don't know what's coming, that's to your benefit.

So it's really, really interesting to see where he goes here.

He's not necessarily a top 100 guy just yet.

He's another somebody who's dealt with injuries last year.

I think he had a back injury, but there's a lot of things to like about Michael Frett, given what we know about pitching now.
