Felix Bautista 2022

[Aristotelian]

I don't remember seeing a thread for this guy yet. After a scoreless frame today (1 IP, 0 ER, 2 K) his ERA stands at 2.19. Command was the big concern but currently sitting at respectable 3.75 BB/9. Currently has fewer walks than Jorge. As we all know from Tanner Scott a reliever can go very quickly from looking like a lights out high leverage guy to getting blown up, but so far so good. Is it too early to anoint him Prince Felix?

His fastball will hurt your feelings.

Talk about an imposing pitcher on the mound! Bautista may be the biggest person I have ever seen in an Orioles uniform (well, maybe second to Calvin Pickering). Bautista is a big man.

I believe Ben's quote was something like "dirtier than a Louisiana martini" or something like that. Lol. Anyone remember exactly?

I’m going to assume you blocked the memories of Daniel Cabrera out of your mind (and I don’t blame you).

Absolutely love watching this guy pitch. He's quickly jumped to #2 in my all-time favorite Orioles named Felix.

I guess I didn't realize how huge he was.  BBref has him listed at 6'7'' 225.  Has Bautista @ 6'5'' 190.....no buying the 190.  He has to be 230 easy.

On the broadcast they said 6'8".

I would have guessed 6'6'' or 6'7''
