We heard about Tarik Skubal's fastball last season.
We heard about it more this spring. The heat from Skubal's left arm made him 'the talk of baseball,' according to Jim Leyland.
"Skubal's got a swing-and-miss fastball," Leyland said. "There's not too many of those around."
Leyland's not kidding.
In a recent training video, Skubal can be seen hitting 100.6 MPH on the radar gun.

— simon mathews (@s_mathews26) June 2, 2020Skubal, 23, is one of the top left-handed pitching prospects in baseball. There's a chance we'll see him in Detroit this season, if there's a season at all.
With gas like that, he can't get here soon enough.
