Kiley on Norge Vera - low 90s, up to 97. Loses command when throwing too hard. Curve, slider, changeup are all average to above average. 6'4, projectable, easy delivery, dad is a Cuban baseball legend.
Really liked what I heard about him.
God damn you guys are absolutely killing it lately. Obviously a lot of the top analysts have more free time now, but it's still awesome that Futuresox is getting all of them for podcasts.
His gum lines aren't nearly receded enough from rampant chewing tobacco use. He's got to step up his abuse of chewing tobacco game before he gets on that level.
Would anybody be on board with trying to get that extra service year back and possibly more with a contract extension? Risky move, and who knows if Kopech would even be open to it. With his stuff, I feel confident he could be a valuable bullpen piece at worst.
Props to the Futuresox staff for getting good guests and putting out great content during these times. I'm just glad there is something to scratch my baseball itch.
