A left handed strasburg?

Ok, the reds front office deserves some raises.

They have a triple crown leader, a division lead and then this guy is brought up?

I mean really, a left-hander who can hit 104 and drops in a change at nearly 20 mph slower than that.  Toss in a pitch that looks an awful lot like a cutter or mild slider and you have something unique.

His first 2 appearances: 2 IP, 19 pitches, 16 strikes, 0 H, 0 BB, 3 K.

Seriously, can you tell me of a left-hander that has thrown that hard?  Ever?

Next question, I wonder what the Reds are going to do with their old closer?
