As you can see, it's a Bert Blyleven-, Aaron Sele-style overhand yakker that goes bill-of-cap to shoetops.  A very unusual pitch for a closer.  Even Gordon, known for his SP-style 12-6 curve, didn't have the huge break that Fields does.  Control is a serious issue for that kind of pitch.
He obviously gets on top of the FB very well, throws downhill, and threw the ball right by college hitters almost in Strasburg fashion (note the 25 K's in 11 IP graphic on the vid -- he was doing this 18K/game with the FASTBALL mostly).
The head moves around, tilts back, the arm-splay and CG acceleration is rushed and shrill, etc etc.  Has work to do but could jell at any time and give you a star reliever.  Whether he will or not ... My guess is pretty much where HQ is, 30-50% chance of it...
You have a good weekend too bro' :- )
