If you missed Thursday's World Baseball Classic qualifier between Brazil and Pakistan, then you missed an unusual sight. No, not a WBC game -- though those are rare. Rather, a 15-year-old who hit 94 mph on the radar run. Really.

The teenager in question is Brazil's Eric Pardinho, whose 16th birthday party is scheduled for early January. He threw two-thirds of an inning in relief, allowing a hit and a walk as part of a seven-inning, 10-0 shutout win for Brazil.

Here's some video of Pardinho's performance:

The key to Pardinho's velocity appears to be his ability to generate huge separation between his top and bottom halves -- think about the inherent rubber-band effect such separation creates -- which speaks well of his athleticism and coordination.

Pardinho isn't yet old enough to sign a with a big-league club, but you can bet that his potential caught the eyes of MLB teams, and that he'll soon be inking a professional contract.
