SARASOTA, Fla. \u2014 The question was not yet finished, but a big grin had already broken out on Carlos Lagrange\u2019s face.<\/p>\n
The Yankees\u2019 pitching prospect had just finished a four-inning start in the Spring Breakout game against the Orioles\u2019 top prospects, during which he consistently unleashed a fastball that hit 100 and 101 mph on the stadium radar gun. <\/p>\n
Surely there was some extra adrenaline that helped him sustain that velocity over the course of his outing?<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel really good, but I throw this velo always,\u201d Lagrange said through his wide smile on Saturday night at Ed Smith Stadium.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old right-hander, who measures in at 6-foot-6, flashed his potential across the start in which he struck out two, walked none and allowed two hits and two runs (one unearned). <\/p>\n
One run came on a wind-aided, inside-the-park home run while the other came in the first inning after Enrique Bradfield Jr. singled, took third on Lagrange\u2019s wild pickoff throw to first and then scored on a wild pitch.<\/p>\n
But Lagrange settled in, retiring 12 of the next 13 batters he faced while hitting 101 mph on his final pitch of the night to end the fourth inning.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a big, big opportunity for me,\u201d Lagrange said through an interpreter. \u201cIt meant a lot. It just was an opportunity to prove to myself and everybody else that I\u2019m a good pitcher and I can throw strikes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lagrange, who enters this season as the organization\u2019s No. 19 prospect by MLB.com and No. 15 by Baseball America, signed with the Yankees out of the Dominican Republic for $10,000 in 2022.<\/p>\n
His biggest hurdles since then have been health and command. He missed time last season with a back issue, but came back to pitch in the Arizona Fall League, where he had a 2.08 ERA in five games but walked 15 and struck out 10 in 8 \u2154 innings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 95 \u2154 innings in his pro career, Lagrange has struck out 133 but walked 63. <\/p>\n
His ability to throw strikes consistently may decide just how far he will get. But on Saturday at least, he did so often enough with his triple-digit heater \u2014 which he said first reached 100 as a 19-year-old \u2014 and a biting slider.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just had a minor problem [last season], but this year I feel good,\u201d said Lagrange, who will likely start the season at Single-A Tampa. \u201cI feel ready.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
