David Price was a well-known add-in to the trade which sent Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but he provided us a casual reminder of his All-Star caliber stuff on Monday afternoon. The former Cy Young award winner notched his first strikeout as a Dodger in a Spring Training matchup against the Reds. The notoriously tough to strike out Joey Votto couldn't help but swing at this upstairs cutter, which was absolutely filthy.

In a rotation which already features Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw, among others, allows Price to slide into a backseat role, taking the pressure off the 34-year-old as he tries to reinvent himself in the City of Angels.
