Yovani Gallardo, born February 27, 1986 in Michoacan, Mexico, is a right-handed pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. He was selected in the second round of the 2004 amateur draft out of Trimble Technical High School in Fort Worth, Texas. Gallardo has good size for a pitcher; he is 6'3" and 215 pounds. He regularly throws four pitches: a fastball, curveball, slider, and changeup with lots of movement. He has an above-average arm with a fastball that touches the mid 90s, but he usually throws in the 93 MPH range with a hard-breaking 77 MPH curve. In 2006, while in AA Huntsville, he led all minor league pitchers with 188 strikeouts in 155 innings of work, the most punch-outs ever by a Brewers prospect. He finished with 14 starts and an incredible 1.63 ERA. In two spring training innings in 2007, he recorded 5 strikeouts, including Barry Bonds.
