From cbssportsline<br><br>Phenom Felix Hernandez will make his debut Thursday. He comes to the M's <br>after dominating the PCL at Triple-A Tacoma, going 9-4, with a <br>league-leading 2.25 ERA and 100 strikeouts in just 88 innings pitched. The <br>numbers are eye-popping for any prospect, let alone the youngest player in <br>all of baseball above Class A. He's still just 19, but the 6-foot-3 <br>right-hander already cracks 97 mph on his fastball, and his biting curve <br>mystifies batters as it tumbles through the strike zone. "He's already <br>shown that he's got more than potential," Seattle pitching coach Bryan <br>Price said. "He's got aptitude, he's got athleticism, he's got instincts, <br>he's got tenacity, a great understanding of what makes pitchers <br>successful." <br>(Updated 08/03/2005).
