Lael Lockhart’s Curveball: Old School Magic?

Tigers fans, have you caught wind of Lael Lockhart’s filthy curveball down in Toledo? The lefty’s deuce is straight out of a different era—MLB.com says it’s got a 52% whiff rate and a crazy 60-inch drop! Not many Triple-A arms are throwing curves like this anymore. Sure, Lockhart’s control needs work (5.2 BB/9), but imagine that pitch baffling big league hitters. Could he be the next homegrown gem in Detroit’s pitching pipeline? #Tigers #LaelLockhart #PitchingProspects #Sports
