It worked i guess but I thought his hip was injured, if it still is no sense running him out there for fear of bigger injury. The 3-4 MPH drop really concerns me.

He topped out at 98 MPH on his fastball but threw 81 pitches. Encouraging start but will be excited to see what he does next. His slider was on point.
I wish I could provide some video but I can't, but it looks almost like a straight 2-seamer with more movement. Dives away from both righties and lefties. Nasty to say the least.
