Maybe because Kyle Harrison has the best fastball in MLB...
SF Giants LHP Kyle Harrison already has MLB's most dominant fastball

It's nice for stats like in this article to back up claims, but you could tell just by watching that his fastball is dominant. OK, the stats illustrate just how so compared to others, but still, sometimes you just need to watch the players play and you don't need stats.

Still, there is no better pitch in baseball than a good heater, and if Harrison's is that good, he also will avoid injury as that pitch is easiest on the arm. I'll say it again though, his fastball's ability to get swings and misses off the plate to right hand hitters is remarkable.

I've been asked to inform you that the best pitch in baseball isn't a good heater, it's a strike. Tough to argue with that, but I'm sure you'll find a way. . . .

Baseball experts, people who have played the game have repeatedly said the fastball is the best pitch in baseball. Ability to control location is always important, but if you can get the fastball to move, and still control location it is devastating.

Harrison and Rodon don't go much above 96, MPH, but they blow guys away with it more than Camilo Doval does with 101 MPH.
