Carlos Lagrange consistently hits 100 and 101 mph on radar gun in electric Yankees outing

SARASOTA, Fla. — The question was not yet finished, but a big grin had already broken out on Carlos Lagrange’s face.

The Yankees’ pitching prospect had just finished a four-inning start in the Spring Breakout game against the Orioles’ top prospects, during which he consistently unleashed a fastball that hit 100 and 101 mph on the stadium radar gun.

Surely there was some extra adrenaline that helped him sustain that velocity over the course of his outing?

“I feel really good, but I throw this velo always,” Lagrange said through his wide smile on Saturday night at Ed Smith Stadium.

The 21-year-old right-hander, who measures in at 6-foot-6, flashed his potential across the start in which he struck out two, walked none and allowed two hits and two runs (one unearned).

One run came on a wind-aided, inside-the-park home run while the other came in the first inning after Enrique Bradfield Jr. singled, took third on Lagrange’s wild pickoff throw to first and then scored on a wild pitch.
