What Tyler Flowers sees in Mike Foltynewicz isn't something most people necessarily get.
The White Sox-turned-Braves catcher said Friday that Foltynewicz, a 24-year-old Minooka High graduate who once sent the digits of a radar gun spinning to 103 during a minor-league game, has a stash of potential to go with his fastball.
"Crazy arm," Flowers said of the Astros' 2010 first-round draft pick in his second season with the Braves. "He has some of the best stuff I've ever seen."
But Foltynewicz is a "work in progress." Flowers said the 6-foot-4 right-hander, whose fastball has averaged 95.
