Ah, good news. Cubs Rule 5 pick Gray Fenter's last start was Aug 27, 2019, with five perfect innings against the Lakewood BlueClaws. Why is that such good news? Lakewood has a great MilBtv video feed with radar gun readings. I'll post a few thoughts as I watch that game here.

First impressions off the first inning: short, mostly maxed out (esp lower body) righty. Slow delivery with a lot of lean to backside/1B. Some effort. 90-94 with the fastball, some life up in zone. Pairs 85 mph slider w/ 79 mph curve. Commanded both. Iffy 85 mph change.

Fenter snaps the heck out of a big curveball, he's freezing Low-A pitchers constantly in the strike zone. Given the movement at a pretty decent velocity, spin rates have to be good here on that one.

I'll have to watch more for a full review on the slider and change, which was mixed in this dominant outing. Slider did flash above avg, incl at least two awkward K swings. I think the lab helps here. Threw 2-3 changes: one bad, one solid enough. FB played up - still 93 in 5th.
