Brayan Bello Dominates Tigers In First WBC Start

Red Sox pitcher Brayan Bello dominated the Detroit Tigers in his World Baseball Classic debut, tossing three shutout innings with just one hit allowed.

Bello struck out two and walked one while throwing 42 pitches in the Dominican Republic's exhibition matchup. His velocity hovered around 95 mph, marking a strong turnaround from earlier spring training struggles.

The performance comes two days after a video emerged of Bello discussing pitching mechanics with Pedro Martinez, signaling a potential turning point for the young righty as WBC pool play continues.
