GDT: 5/05 - Braves finale @ Marlins

Luke keeps getting chances because his 95.5 mph FA has 11.1" of rise (Grade 70), his 88.3 mph SL has 2.9" of drop (Grade 70), and his CU has 9.1" of drop (Grade 70+).

He's cheap, and the stuff is there to be a high K pitcher. His FIP/xFIP last year were 3.55/3.94, essentially due to his 4.65 BB/9.

No doubt the Braves see the stuff and are hoping the command improves. How long do they wait on a 27 year old to improve his command?

BB/9 currently sitting around 3.5
