What they're saying:

"Nick Frasso features a powerful mid-90s fastball, topping out at 98, with great life. MLB.com rates the pitch as a 60 on the 20-80 scale. It has played especially well up in the strike zone. He also mixes in a sweeping curveball that sits in the mid-70s and tunnels well with his four-seamer. Its slower velocity allows Frasso to keep hitters on their toes, often unprepared for the mid-90s heater that complements it so well." -Evan Walsh of LastWordOnBaseball.
