That kid hitting 102 over the wall is impressive as well

[@joelorosario2300]

Robert Huey He got all of that one too

Just shut up

[@nickoare2922]

Basabe has a great arm too

[@TheChosennn]

Robert Huey it was low and in to a lefty

[@Ashton.hawkins]

103 at 18 that’s incredible. if he developes a cutter or hard slider that would help him a ton on getting people off balance.

[@willruelas3529]

He'll have rag arm by 22

[@terrancehall9762]

@@willruelas3529 he will learn to change speeds

[@JACOB-p2z]

Welllllll his arm isn’t ready for that. Most likely later in his career he is going to throw his arm out.

update, he’s added a sinker cutter and slider to his arsenal

watching this now is crazy with tatis and bichette lmao and yordan alvarez damn

[@sonichallbartender]

RBI leader Nate Lowe too

[@simeonteitelbaum3673]

As soon as he figures out where to throw it he's going to dominate. He's 18, he's got time. I like how he was willing to go up and inside after giving up that home run, even if it resulted in a hit batsmen. His key mistake was throwing the fastball low and in to a lefthanded hitter with an uppercut swing, never ever do that.

[@titoslounge1946]

It's still pretty unreal that Basabe was able to catch up to that.

[@owenschilling7707]

Simeon Teitelbaum Coaches would always tell me the same thing.. hard and in on righties, soft and away for lefties. Obviously that’s just a guideline but for most power hitters it seems to be true

[@easyenetwork2023]

Owen Schilling Lefty hitters have a hard time swinging on balls away usually, might be because the ball is failing away from a righty maybe.

[@rowdyghost4713]

Everyone talking about “he has no command” he is a kid. And also. If you have a plus arm and plus stuff with average command, you can pitch in the big leagues. Look at hader for the brewers. Below average command with above average stuff.

[@lilparra68]

He's still young man Pitchers that can hit well is the future

[@dankestone6656]

Not bad for 18. He has great potential, but I think he’d be a better reliever.

[@cason6030]

not bad? bro threw 103 😂. but i agree he should be mid-relieve or closer

[@braylonnet3773]

[@FranciscoMartinez-md2ct]

In MLB every batter it's going to hit if the pitch is in the middle, doesn't matter if he throws 100+

[@TheChosennn]

Francisco Martinez these r MiLB players, but you’re right they’re professionals. 100+ down the middle any major or minor leaguer can hit that

[@idek256]

thats why harold said to get his fastball up

[@loskevinsxd3111]

@@TheChosennn in the video couple guys hit 102 fastball so strong xD what are u talking about bro

[@jakeherington7237]

He’s fun to watch, such an athletic delivery

[@titoslounge1946]

His 103 mph fastball is impressive but it looks a little straight. I think he would have more success with a 97-98 mph sinker. If he could command that with a good changeup it's game over.

[@idek256]

he litterally missed just outside 5 times because he has twoseam run

[@rayzr1120]

If he can get a good moving pitch and work on his control he’ll be great.

[@lmvbaseball]

No control but a talented kid still a long way from the majors

[@isildur4531]

Lol at all the idiots saying no control to an overall pick.

[@user-ck5hp1cy8o]

Ok you throw hard but where’s your command

Blk Palms You can get more control by practice but you can't throw 103mph just by practice...is all about talent.

[@user-ck5hp1cy8o]

陳宇 I’m not simply talking about control

[@purpleknight3446]

Hes 18, he's got time to develop... especially with him being in the reds farm system, he also needs to work on a changeup and develop that slider more

[@TheZombieeeeeee]

lmfao what were you doing at the age of 18??

[@whittjoyce838]

Blk Palms , the first pitch ..... and pretty much everywhere else , now quit being jealous

[@jonasrussell4788]

hunter greene: "double digits? never heard of it"

[@noahmcdx1]

I didn't see an arm guard on that guys forearm he took 102 off... and it sounded the crack of a bat.

[@TheRabidbunnies]

The velocity's super impressive, but if he wants to be a starter he needs secondary pitches. Of course hes only 18 guys stop hating so much just cause he can do something you can't do

[@ryanh1013]

BBBMamba He has secondary pitches. This video just jump cut to display all of his 100+ mph fastballs. There's a chart that pops up that displays the 20-80 for his pitches, and all his secondaries range from MLB average to slightly above MLB average.

[@chaddawsome9302]

He needs more movement and he will be really good like excellent but he threw it in his wheelhouse he needs good movement

[@danejurus69]

Yep. Fastball lacks movement.

[@Alex_Brown97]

Bruh 18 years old 103 mph..... When hes like 28 he might be cruising 105 touching 108

[@SHMEGMA9]

It's not enough to only have velocity.

[@ryanh1013]

Sammy But it sure helps lol

[@TheChosennn]

Sammy it helps, but you’re right it’s not enough

[@tony-df6ou]

Did they show the nuke hit off him

Don't sleep on the Reds.

[@2bblazzing90]

Cant wait till hunter greene gets to the reds

[@JFosh28]

He’s making his debut very soon

[@redhotgillypeppers]

now i know why he’s still in the minors throwing 102, the “heat” he’s bringing is a flat fastball that basabe hit a nuke off of. im sure he dominated in high school throwing 102 because no one in high school can touch that.

[@rayzr1120]

Aaron Gilchrist he’s in the minors because he is a 19 year old fireballer. Fast growing pitchers need extra time to develop control.

[@TheChosennn]

I’m pretty sure this kid hits too

[@ryanh1013]

Everyone knows that throwing hard isn't everything, but it sure helps a lot to be able to blow your fastball by people with 100+ mph.

[@IamTonyCashCOD]

102 so what....bomb

[@jars_3945]

I would like to see you throw 102

[@Jut3512]

I can’t wait to see this kid when he’s in his mid 20’s

[@bluesfan6862]

In 2018 100+ is still very special, but not it’s not as effective as it was 40-50 years ago. Now if hicks or Chapman come in the pitch, guys are in the cages Taking 100mph bp in the dugout(it’s not actually the dugout, but you know what I mean.) during the half inning. Plus more guys throw harder these days. What I’m saying is I think this guy is overrated, no doubt raw talent, but I think that just throwing the ball hard isn’t enough.

[@andrewschoen8940]

He is 18 playing in this game.

[@beauseale5237]

the Red legs are gona be hot in a few years, all they need is some pitching.

[@calemendenhall668]

If you watch the Topvelocity vid on him you would worry a little bit

[@ynautilus63]

제구 잘되네? 메쟈에서 봤음 좋겠다~~

[@dankestone6656]

Command isn’t really the issue, although everyone thinks it is. The real problem is he only throws fastballs

[@onehand-yusuf7212]

Thank u. I was wondering who else was thinking that

[@kx-_-21]

Basabe bby

[@1younglock]

He’s leaving every fastball in the center of the plate

[@karatekid9644]

Take that Trevor Bauer we have hunter green

[@russelljarosz8686]

4:40 shortstop turned 2 a little too quick. took his foot off the bag before the ball was in his glove

[@connerbv1209]

russell jarosz if you slow it down and go frame by frame you can see his foot was still barely on the bag

[@ryanh1013]

I feel bad for this guy. His pitching coaches probably taught him to keep the ball low in the zone when he was a kid because pitching coaches have no clue what they're doing.

[@MaxAttax98]

That's what happens when you throw nothing but fastballs

[@TheChosennn]

MaxAttax he threw off speed stuff, but they only showed him throwing fastballs

[@jacobjeffries9888]

It's impressive but he can't command the ball and throw that hard like Jordan Hicks

[@arthurjackson8302]

What happened to this guy? Is he in the league

[@derby2510]

Tommy John already.

[@43lenzo]

all thanks to compton

[@phillyphilly8058]

How is he in the game being 4 and 7 and having an ERA of above 4

[@TheZombieeeeeee]

cause it doesnt take an mlb scout to know this kid is going to be a "future all-star." hence the game being called, "future all-star game"

[@ryanh1013]

Because he throws 100+ at 18 years old. Plus he hits tates.

Although he throws impressively hard. However, his fastball is flat. The big leaguers will time that.
