Edgardo Henriquez Settling in with Dodgers, Showcasing Elite Velocity

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Edgardo Henriquez is making a strong impact, having thrown a franchise-record 103.3 mph pitch and consistently hitting over 101 mph this season. Converted from a catcher and overcoming Tommy John surgery and a foot injury, Henriquez has held opponents to a .120 batting average with four strikeouts in seven innings this summer. Manager Dave Roberts notes his increased confidence, and Henriquez, who also possesses a devastating cutter and slider, has expressed his desire to become a closer for the team.
