Nationals prospect Jarlin Susana is at the Arizona Fall League throwing heat in the desert

Washington Nationals prospect Jarlin Susana has impressed in the Arizona Fall League after missing most of the season recovering from lat surgery. Over his first two outings, the right-hander struck out eight batters and walked two across 5.2 innings, earning AFL Pitcher of the Week honors. Susana also set an AFL record by throwing a pitch at 103.8 mph.

Writer Sam Sallick highlights Susana's ability to sit between 101-103 mph with both a four-seamer and a sinker, complemented by a high-spin slider. Sallick believes Susana will become an effective major league pitcher, comparing him to Dodgers reliever Edgardo Henriquez while noting that a starting role remains possible if his strike-throwing and pitch repertoire continue to develop.
