Only reportc I've gotten is low 90s but if he touches 98 and sits in the mid 90s that is a big difference.

This ought to be something D3A ought to find out for us since he is in Peoria.
Oh the one report on velocity I've ever seen on Del Valle was from a Peoria newspaper report that said Del Valle threw as hard as 92. So that is a really big difference.

Nightengale is a pretty legitimate source, but it just seems like such a big jump. If true though, the Cubs new focus on Cuba is already paying dividends.

That's why I took it to and shared it. I believe him as he has been credible.

You also believe Hot Stove Cubbies though, lol. 
Ya, Nightengale's good...
But we should have signed Aroldis Chapman... Think about that bullpen...

Still could mean a lot of things. Was he reading a stadium gun that was a few ticks fast? Was it just one pitch that hit 98 or was he regularly hitting 98? Basically the few things that I had seen prior suggested he was throwing low 90s comfortable and could touch mid 90s. If he can regularly throw 98 with a decent slider (from what little reports I've seen), he could be a real interesting prospect.

Better late than never getting involved with Cuban defectors.

Definitely worthwhile to try to make it a night he is starting because he could be one of the more interesting arms at Peoria if he can regularly hit 98.

The guy never approved comments either, he just deletes them if you question anything/correct him...

Im loving Zeke DeVoss it looks like the Cubs weren't joking when they said they wanted hitters with good approaches . He had 4 walks yesterday It seems like he has a walk or two every day. A good thing to see from the kids on the farm.

Dan Vogelbach went 1-4 in his debut today and played DH
Javier Baez didn't play but should soon.
