Minor League Thread Part Deux

The rest of his repertoire is very mediocre though.

The 4 seamer has plus velocity, but mediocre movement. However it could play up well if he could actually locate it. But he can't. The Slider and Curve are below average, though the curve seems to have improved.

He's still a future reliever in my book and they need to stop pretending like he can be a starter.

As long as his control remains an issue I agree with his future releiver outlook. If he can have a splitter in hte mid 700s it can be a absolute weapon out of the pen.

That being said, I'm not sure why he hasn't gotten a look in the rotation yet this year yet. It's a lost season and we have nothing but jokers in there now besides Strider. If he's a future releiver then service time implications really don't matter.

I believe the projections were very high on his development arc. Body type, feel, lack of pitching experience etc... to show a lot of progression.

And he has. Just maybe not a finished product.
