According to MLB.com, his fastball velocity was awesome, never hitting lower than 96 on the gun. His curveball had awesome bite and travelled at 80-81mph. He even struck out Miguel Cabrera on a curveball-curveball-98 mph fastball combo.

I think this is great news for all the Nats fans out there. The kid handled the pressure of being under the microscope fairly well. Even though his overall performance was very positive and tells us that the best of it lies ahead, I wouldn't quote MLB.com's writer on saying it was dazzling.

Very early to say, since he only logged a couple of innings, but by extrapolating some better, some badder outings out of his ST, do you think he starts the season in DC?
