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!
