With a win and a save in the postseason, before getting either in the regular season, David Price is becoming a known commodity. The super prospect out of Vanderbilt closed out the ALCS Sunday night in Tampa/St. Pete.
I've reviewed Price before, in part, and I've updated all 270 of his PITCHf/x recorded tosses. Two changes here - I've re-labled the cutter as a slider, and found what looks to be a trio of change-ups from Price's start in Baltimore.
Simply put, Price throws hard, throws a ton of strikes, and has blown hitters away with a hard slider. As you go through the numbers below, note the velocity, and, in the pitch count table, note the lack of 2-0 and 3-0 counts. Even the 2-1 and 3-1 counts are a rarity.
Keep ahead of hitters, and, even with just two pitches, good night. I'm not sure Price is ready to be converted into a starter, but, as a reliever, he's lights out. I wouldn't be surprised to see him retain the closer's role in the World Series.
