If you can remember back to the Cincinnati Reds' 1990 World Series championship team, then you will certainly remember the team's celebrated three headed monster bullpen of Norm Charlton, Rob Dibble and Randy Myers (who were nicknamed "The Nasty Boys.")
Well, here in 2014 the Connecticut Tigers have their own version of "The Nasty Boys" with relievers Joe Jimenez, Gabe Hemmer and Johan Belisario. Have a look at the numbers:
Joe Jimenez (2-1, 2.86, 4 Saves, 33 K 4 BB in 22 IP), (Jimenez has a fastball that flashes 95 MPH)
Johan Belisario (5-0, 0.65, 1 Save, 26 K 6 BB), (2014 NY-Penn League All Star)
Gabe Hemmer (2-0, 0.83, 35 K 3 BB in 21.2 IP), (Hemmer was absolutely dominant Saturday night against Aberdeen, the Ironbirds simply didn't have a chance against him.
The Tigers have also had superb contributions out of the pen from Will LaMarche and Gage Smith.
Tiger fans take notice, you are looking at a bullpen with possibly three future impact MLB relievers!
