"He (Chuck James) hides it (his slider) better than anybody I've ever seen. He keeps it back behind his back, brings it over his head and hitters can't see that. He's got that hard backspin. It's almost like the ball rises a little bit. He's going to be the real deal." - Atlanta Braves Catcher Brian McCann
