The quote
"The deception he has, his delivery is such that when he throws it, you don't know if it's going to go 93 or 73. With the movement that he has, it's hard to pick guys like him up. The more experience that guy gets, with what he's doing and the confidence he has, it becomes tougher." -- Sox manager Robin Ventura on Keuchel
