"Dellin has electric stuff, it's just a matter of being able to calm yourself down and slow the game down," RP David Robertson said. "He's a big, intimidating guy out there on the mound. With a little more experience, he'll fit in great."

"Then you get to catch him and it is as good as advertised. His stuff really is electric. He can command both sides of the plate to both righties and lefties. He can change speeds. He has five or six different pitches. Everything that you read about, the highlights that we saw before he came over here, they are all accurate."
