Birthdate: May 2, 1988

Birthplace: Azua, Dominican Republic

Age: 21 

Weight: 190 lbs.

Height: 6-3

Throws: Right

Feliz has pitched 16.1 innings in the 9 games he has played in. Of those 16.1 innings he has been hit off…5 times, and 1 of those 5 hits was actually a run. He has one earned run. Homered off of once. 

16.1 innings Feliz has produced 21 K’s. 

He has one save, and no blown saves. 

Overall ERA? 

0.55.

Did I mention he’s 21 years old? His fastball is 101 mph. 

In the most recent series the Rangers have had with the Yankees, in the first game of the series Feliz got the chance to pitch against the big bad yankees. 

He made A-Rod look just silly while striking him out with a 101 mph fastball. 

Yes, he’s that good. Yes, he is for real. 

He’s young though, so the key with Feliz is patience, but man what a talent!

Interesting Social Media Statistic

Many pastors still think technologies haven’t caught on or that investing in social media isn’t worth their church’s time. Next time you hear that from someone, perhaps you could share a few of these statistics with them:

It took radio 38 years to reach 50 million listeners. Terrestrial TV took 13 years to reach 50 million users. The Internet took four years to reach 50 million people… In less than nine months, Facebook added 100 million users.

Universal McCann reports that 77% of all active internet users regularly read blogs.
More than 120 million users log on to Facebook at least once each day and more than 30 million users update their statuses at least once each day. Combined, more than 5 billion minutes are spent on the site on a daily basis.

Over the past 12 months, Twitter’s year-on-year growth rate has broken the 1000% barrier.
If Facebook were a country, it would be the fourth most populated place in the world. This means it easily beats the likes of Brazil, Russia and Japan in terms of size.
