Wow, forgot he was only 20

Kid’s still a prospect.

i'm not as big a fan of him as most

hopefully, the great fastball/curveball combo we heard about at the time of his drafting turns out to be legit, but his performance this year has been merely decent. he has something like a .229 BABIP and a 3.8ish FIP.

i think the "not as big a fan" line

might not convey my opinion of him accurately. i just hope his performance improves as he moves forward.

might have a 3.8 FIP

but we knew he was a project. he’s made massive improvements this year. of course he has to continue to improve though. probably in the 15-20 range for me. maybe a tad lower.

baseball rules.
