On Sunday I commented about Blake Wood (Bucs, 2004) making the Kansas City 40-man roster ahead of the Rule Five Draft. I stated the obvious and said that KC must see something in Wood to make room for him on the big league club's expanded roster.
To get a better idea of what that might be, one needs only to look at Baseball America's list of the max/average velocities of pitchers in the Arizona Fall League this year. Wood's fastball averages 94.4 mph and tops out at 96.7.
That's pretty fast.
Some other ex-ABLers who broke the upper half of the list: Adam Reifer (96.1/94.05), Robbie Weinhardt (95.2/93.44) and Gary Daley (94.5/93.08)
