January 29, 201610 yr Author The pitchers actually seem promising. How hard does Lilek throw and what are his plus pitches? He sits in the low 90s with his fastball, which is his best pitch for now. He can throw a change and a curve for strikes, but he needs to work on getting more on them. It's a slow curve, low 70s, so any hangers will be smashed. He projects as a decent LOOGY, but probably not a starter unless he develops better than expected. EDIT: he also developed a slurvier curve ball that he throws a bit harder (76-79) and doesn't loop as much. It'll be interesting to see if he keeps one of his breaking balls over the other.
