Eduardo Rodriguez: Best Lefty Speed In MLB

After his MLB debut, Eduardo Rodriguez has more than just a win under his belt and the admiration of millions of Red Sox fans. He's also been sprinkled with the 'holy water' of the influential FanGraphs.com website. According to that site's Eno Sarris, E-Rod has "the best lefty velocity among starters in the game". Averaging 95.0 MPH, Rodriguez (at the tender age of 22) tops other fire-balling port-siders like Chris Sale, David Price, and some guy named Clayton Kershaw. Pretty high praise from a well-respected source. Congrats to E-Rod!
