Late Saturday evening, young Kansas City Royals right-handed pitcher, Yordano Ventura, died in a car crash in his home country Dominican Republic. Sad news in the sports world as Yordano was a very promising pitcher with a very high ceiling. He was known for his electric fastball that reached speeds of excess 100 mph with above average movement. Baseball lost yet another young flamethrower after this year we have also lost Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez. It's very sad to see so much potential not even have a chance to pan out. Attached is a link from CNN's breakdown of the tragedy. The Ventura family is in our thoughts and prayers.
