Congrats to Yordano Ventura, RHP: Generously listed at 6-0, 180 pounds, Ventura is the epitome of the small-bodied hurler but there is nothing little about what comes out of his hand. The Dominican averages 97 mph on the fastball while sprinkling in three other offerings. After never pitching more than 134.2 innings prior to 2014, he’s held up well in 183.0 innings to date but it will be interesting to see how he’s handled if the Royals make it into the playoffs. This maybe the 1st of many for Ventura.
