Sarmiento was the headliner on the mound, turning in 4.2 IP, 0 ER, 7 K while showing why his name draws attention. He came out attacking from the first inning and it was obvious early that the FB/CH pairing was going to drive the outing, same look out of the hand, tough to separate, and he consistently worked in the zone with confidence. The only real “tell” was that when he missed, it was more often over the heart, and Glendora was able to square a few up even if it didn’t turn into runs. The FB sat 87–89 and touched 90 early before dipping into the 85–87 range from the 3rd inning on out (possibly pitch count/fatigue), but the stuff still played because of sequencing and his CB (74–76). It almost functioned like a slurve with heavy tilt and it generated a ton of uncomfortable swings and whiffs, clearly his put-away pitch. The CH (78–80) is firm and can get hit when it’s left up (doesn’t have a ton of depth), but when he located it, it worked well off the heater and kept hitters off time. Overall, an exciting profile, a confident lefty with real fastball/secondary pairing, a nasty breaking ball that misses bats, and just a bit of refinement needed with changeup location and maintaining his best velo deeper into outings.
