Now those are stats legends are made of. He is the WILD THING! And yet he got drafted!
Because he has an insanely high spin rate on a breaking ball and throws 97-98 mph. He is also 6'5" which makes 97-98 look like 100. Most MLB draft like the Oakland Raiders, purely on physical stats. That is also the reason why most high school players drafted don't make it. College baseball weeds out a lot of guys and MLB is mostly made up of college players.

He very well could figure out how to pitch rather than throw and if he does then he has ace type potential.
