Felix Hernandez is the man. We have known this for a while. In addition to having a great fastball, a power changeup that baffles hitters, and a great curveball, Felix is just the man.
It all about stuff for the King. He’s got all the tools. He’s had them for 10 years. He’s been the best pitcher in Mariners history. And on top of it all, he wants to be here. Felix Hernandez embraces Seattle and the Mariners, and he’s stuck by them through years of hardship and despair.
Hernandez is a gamer. I’ve never heard him say he didn’t want the ball, and I’ve never heard him ask out of Seattle.
