Scouts came to Sheldon’s games to catch a glimpse of Herbert’s cut fastball that “drove guys nuts,” former Sheldon baseball coach Stan Manley said.

Treinen also throws a 90.8-mph cut fastball that has a much tighter break than his sweeper and a 94.3-mph four-seamer that is less lively than than his sinker — it breaks an average of eight inches to his arm side — but is easier to command.

Hernández, who played with Jansen in L.A. and in Boston, hit a 415-foot home run off a 2-and-2 cut fastball to tie the score 4-4.
