He also reportedly hit 97-98 mph on the Lowell radar gun. Even if the gun is 1-2 mph fast, that still means he was hitting mid 90's with his fastball while pitching multiple inning. As a lefty.

If Hagadone can improve upon his changeup--which supposedly has the potential to become a plus pitch--to go along with his fastball (which he spots pretty well) and his already plus slider then we could be talking about a special special prospect. While he has a loonnggg way to go, the upside of Hagadone--whether it be as a starter or reliever--is looking terrific right about now.
