Anyone know what "major league slider" or "slider is exceptional" means? Is the same as curveball, or does it incorporate velocity in some way? Updated Tuesday, November 18 2014 @ 10:44:20 am PST

Why are those skills not described or scouted?

Even with 2 unknowns you can make fairly decent predictions (that can be refined with time). Rogers looks beastly. Let me know if he doesn't meet your standards. I like my prolific sluggers dripping in bat control.
