Raisel Iglesias throws baseballs like a ten-foot tall octopus swinging juggs machines turned to high. The velocity is there, as his 95+ mph heater can get run up to 98 if need be. The arm angles are precipitous, as he can drop down and throw as many as three different pitches from a myriad of deliveries designed to confuse the living hell out of the opposition. And at just 28 years old, he’s pretty much in his prime.
Roll all that together with a flexible, long, team-friendly contract, and he’s exactly the kind of pitching asset that any team out there would love to have.
