More on Jonathan Broxton
Description from Wikipedia:
Jonathan Roy Broxton (born June 16, 1984 in Augusta, Georgia) is a Major League Baseball closer for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He bats and throws right handed. Broxton is known for his velocity, throwing constant pitches ranging from 98 to 100 mph. On July 3rd, 2009 against the San Diego Padres he was clocked at 103 mph.
A prototypical fireballer, the 6'4", 290-pound Broxton features an overwhelming fastball as well as a slider. He became the Dodgers closer at the end of the 2008 season when Takashi Saito went down with an injury. Saito was released after the season, clearing the way for Broxton to inherit that role full-time.
