By now, the world knows what Cam Schlittler did. The New York Yankees rookie right-hander was the driving force behind the Bombers sending the Boston Red Sox home for good by virtue of an eight-inning, 12-strikeout performance.
At this point, Yankees fans have become accustomed to watching Schlittler light up radar guns. In the decisive Game 3 matchup, Schlittler touched 101 miles per hour multiple times. You know by now that the 24-year-old has an electric fastball. What you may not know is just how heavily he relied upon it during his utter domination of the Red Sox, and how unthinkable this all was just two short years ago.
