There isn't a magical "switch". These type pitchers develop late in a lot of instances. Why? Because their stuff was so friggin good coming up, they never really had to learn how to pitch. Then they get to the upper levels and have to adjust. Sure, some don't and flame out (literally). You have to give them time. How much time?? Folty is nearing 26 and is just now maybe/hopefully coming into his own. He is finally....actually....pitching.
Well, Arrieta pretty much flipped a switch.

And I haven't really seen anyone in the last couple years at least say Sims has legit TOR potential. His fastball is not good enough. I've seen some that think he still has a chance to be a decent major league SP but most are pretty much resigned to him in the pen.
