At the 2017 Open Championship, Jordan Spieth offered up perhaps the most Spieth-ian performance in his entire career. There were stretches when he looked like the best golfer on the planet — one of the best of all-time, and other moments, that were too mind-boggling to comprehend.

While there are single pitches that can outpace some of his offerings, Duran has evolved into a wide mix reliever with multiple dominant offerings. A 97 mph split-finger he can command enough to throw nearly half the time? Check. A triple-digit heater? Of course. An 88 mph power curve? Why not. An 89 mph sweeper, tied for the hardest in the game? Yep. Hey why not throw in…
