    Newcomb is definitely pitching well. I don't care that much about the walks, honestly. I think he can slowly bring them down enough. I just want to see him become more efficient and go deeper in games.

    I think if he can start to get to 6 IP on the low end with consistency, he's just about good enough to be pitching in the majors.

    It also tells me he was in the zone a lot more. When you're pounding the zone you're going to give up hits. Think of Greg Maddux, he gave up 8.5 hits per 9 in his career and never threw a no hitter. The reason was he lived in the zone.

    Newcomb has good enough stuff to be able to throw over the plate. He doesn't need to nibble or try to get hitters to chase balls off the plate. He can challenge guys.

    I'm digging Newcomb. I think the kid has a lot of upside and he has a lot fewer innings on his arm due to playing in the Northeast and be a mutli-sport start in high school.

    Yeah, it's great to see Newcomb showing some sustained command. Knowing what we know about him, I could care less about him giving up six hits.
