There's no doubt. He's one of the best African b****es in the business. What's impressed me about Blanco the most is his ability to hold a pretty solid Rangers lineup to what 2 runs in 12 innings? Not ****ing bad.
The early statcast data is up, and through 3 games the numbers back up what the eyes say. Teams have had hell trying to barrel up Blanco so far this season. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/ronel-blanco-669854?stats=statcast-r-histograms-mlb As the season goes on teams will have their scouts all over him trying to poke holes in what he's doing so you can't get too excited yet, however the fact he was able to quiet one of the best offenses in baseball twice in less than a week is impressive as hell.
I'm convinced now. If we make it back to the playoffs the pitching order should be... Game 1- Blanco Game 2- Blanco Game 3- Blanco Game 4- Blanco
Like I said before. The pitches look exactly same until about 20 feet from the plate plus the 8 mph difference in speed. Lethal.
If Framber is built like a truck, then Ronel is built like a locomotive. 6'3" 265 lbs That's LeBron/Judge territory, NFL linebacker-esque. Love Framber, but his 235 comes with fat... Ronel, not so much. Awesome if he becomes a similar workhorse. Arms huge AF .
Its kinda funny how a lot of the most elite arms are guys who are super skinny and lanky versus built. Like Jack Skellington would have been unhittable I bet.
