Mey Day a Flamethrower in Cincinnati - Athlon Sports

On May 1, Luis Mey made an impressive debut for the Cincinnati Reds, stepping in for former All-Star closer Alexis Díaz. The 23-year-old fireballer struck out his first batter and completed a flawless ninth inning, showcasing his ability to throw over 100 mph consistently. Mey's powerful pitches caught the attention of Reds management, particularly after a standout performance in the Arizona Fall League, where he was known for clocking pitches over 103 mph. Although still developing, Mey's fastball ranks among the league's best, and he aims to improve his control and consistency going forward.

What are Luis Mey's chances of becoming a permanent closer for the Reds?How should fantasy managers handle Luis Mey in drafts?
