RockiesJeff is exactly right about Trevino...nobody remained squarer longer (other than Moe Norman, who you guys probably never heard of) through the hitting area. Trevino was one of the best ball strikers ever.
Cleto is a big guy and a bit more speed would help the delivery. But the rapid hip turn, the follow through, and the arm slot are a bit reminiscent of this guy (not making a comparison, btw).

All comments appreciated.
BTW....Cleto's weight is no problem now (Seaver and Clemens were guys who were pretty dang "hippy" with well defined thighs in their primes). The concern is that as he matures that weight "matures" with him.
I will say, however, that Cleto looks to have chicken legs. Lower body development and strength would help that delivery.
