For what it's worth, the Baseball Prospectus reports on Rogelio (from 2016) were positive. They clocked his FB as 87-94. Here's their summary:...
HYPE from Baseball Prospectus daily report. If Whitley can repeat his delivery and throw strikes, he's gonna move fast. Forrest Whitley, RHP,...
From Baseball Prospectus this morning:
From BP yesterday: Alex Bregman, SS, Houston Astros (Double-A Corpus Christi): 3-for-4, 3 R, 2 2B, HR. I recently had a scout tell me that he...

These are all quantitatively bad things, but even qualitatively, he's been a disaster. He's constantly on his front foot, shoulder flying open,...
Turns out I'm not the only one interested in Alfredo Gonzalez:...
Honestly, I don't understand all of the Drellich hate. I'm not saying he's perfect; I just don't get the view that he's terrible. He's...
