Joel Zumaya of the Detroit Tigers burst onto the scene in 2006, coming out of the bullpen and sitting hitters down with ease, thanks in large part to his 100 m.p.h. fastball. In his rookie season, Zumaya had an ERA of 1.94, a 6-3 record, and an incredible 97 strikeouts in only 83.1 innings pitched. Zumaya looks as if he will have what it takes to be a long-term MLB success story. Joel Zumaya has hand signed this MLB baseball and added the inscription, "103 MPH." A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
