The fastball on the route was sitting in the mid-90s with a lovely run and tilt. He also utilizes a handful of broken balls, especially changeups, cutters/sliders and very strong curveballs. Most people see him as a middle class starter in one day at major league level.
Dhabaran has many admirers based on how he plays. He led towards Arkansas, a native of Montreal, and exploded into the scene as a very tool player.
Dabalan plays the game with extreme energy. It rubbed his teammates very positively and he acted as a tone state more frequently than not Arkansas’ explosive offense. His bat-to-ball skills are the best in his class. Dabalan is also a plus runner.
