57special Jr. used to play against Max Meyer in youth BB and HS. The guy who went #3 overall. The kid is a freak. Might've been a better SS and hitter than a P when he was younger, but I guess the velo just got so high he was encouraged to be a PO.
Some kids are less than their stats and measurables. Not him. The guy is 5'11, and not particularly built. It's kind of a mystery how he gets it done. 100 mph, and I don't think he has ever had arm problems.

He also said in an interview on mlb.com that he never did weighted balls or similar velo training, pretty amazing he still throws that hard at his size.
