Fastball velocity is sort of the Seattle Mariners' whole thing. They ranked second in the league with an average heater of 95.2 mph this season, which raises the question of what use they would have for a guy like Tyler Cleveland, whose fastball sits in the mid 80s.
Well, here's a hint: That fastball and Cleveland's other offerings come from an angle unlike any other that today's professional hitters are used to.
We first wrote about Cleveland in June, when the right-hander was merely a curiosity on account of his submarine-style delivery — he's called the "SubMariner," because of course he is — with an extremely wide release point.
