Donald Veal
I got to see Veal pitch tonight in Daytona vs the Brevard Manatees (Brewers). The Brewers have a pretty punchless lineup with Iribarren being the best hitter in the lineup but Veal was very dominant tonight. 6.1 IP, 2 hits, 0 runs, 3 BB and 12 K's. He was just blowing guys away tonight and he made Iribarren look pathetic at the plate. 2 or 3 guys hit some hot shots deep to left center that were caught. His 2 hits were tweeners that maybe went 120 feet. He was blowing guys with fastballs both up and down along with some breaking pitches away and 6-8 changeups. His move to first is very good; he picked someone off in the 5th but allowed a SB in the 4th when he was too casual about holding him. I was able to glance at a radar gun as I walked to the concession stand tonight and he hit 94 on that particular pitch late in the 4th.

On the hill only his control can hold him back. He is a big, strong kid that can hit 97-98 mph with excellent movement on his fastball and his slider is nasty.
