I wouldn't be even a little shocked to see Tuiaviala closing in 2019. In fact, at this point I'd be surprised if he isn't.

I'm pretty sure that he throws the cutter almost exclusively. And if he can throw it for strikes at 96, there's no reason why he shouldn't. I don't think PitchF/X is classifying his fastball correctly.
