Exceeds 103 mph on radar gun

The right-hander has always been known as a flamethrower, but he reached a new level against San Diego. The impressive velocity is not an isolated incident though, as Henriquez is averaging 101.3 mph on his fastball in the majors this year. Somewhat surprisingly, that's led to a modest four punchouts over six innings, but he's been very effective in that small sample, as he's yet to give up a run while surrendering just three hits and one walk. Los Angeles will probably need to see more to move Henriquez into a high-leverage role however, as he's posted a far less impressive 6.85 ERA and 1.90 WHIP over 23.2 frames with Triple-A Oklahoma City this season.
