Jack Bauer, LHP, Lincoln-Way East HS (Ill.) (NR to 32) Callis: He kind of blew up on Twitter because he was clocked throwing 102 mph, which no high school left-hander ever has. Very few pro left-handers ever have. He's a little bit of a tough guy to figure out.
… It's been short stints, two-three innings at a time. He missed his start last week — it's not supposed to be anything serious — but when guys make the velo jump, you wonder a little bit about the long-term health.
People are trying to figure out, as exciting as 102 is, what does it mean? He's got a better slider now, low 80s with sweeping action to it. He's showing more feel for a changeup.
He's throwing a lot more strikes. … People will like to see as much of him as they can and try to wrap their heads around exactly what Jack Bauer has become.
