Lucas Giolito is the top-ranked right-handed pitcher in the class of 2012 by ESPN ... and his fastball touched 100 mph ... in his first game of the season ... in February. wow.

at 6-6, 230-pounds, he's already got ideal size for an MLB hurler. let's just hope the hype (or an injury) doesn't derail his future.

additionally, ESPN's top-ranked left-handed pitcher in the 2012 class, Max Fried, plays for the same team.

here's an article that goes into more detail, primarily about Giolito's rifle arm, but it also talks about the team with the talented southpaw.
