Watched the game, looked at the charts, at the f/x data and have no idea how Bleavan does it. His fastball isn't actually straight - it has a bit more than average armside movement - but, sheesh, it ain't that great. And hitters sitting red were BEHIND?
He must get some gain from his size - the guy is a beast of a man. He appears to have little deception but gains time from his size. So maybe that marks up his velocity a click or two, in which case you're looking at a located 94. Plenty of very good MLB pitchers have made a career with less.
I guess.
