“Carlos has got pitch-ability,” Shildt said. “It’s a trait which isn’t consistent in the game any more. He knows how to get his outs. His velocity was good. He wasn’t in the upper ‘90s, but he probably figured he didn’t need to be. He knows when he can grab it. The ball had movement and life. Ultimately, that’s what you evaluate. The reality of it is that it’s hard for a guy to throw 98 to 100 (mph) for his whole career. Would it nice to see it? Yeah, it would be great.
