You can't say he is an MLB cailbar pitcher now because he threw 7 innings 4 years ago. We don't even know if he had the talent to make it then.
Well, he was drafted out of high school...he clearly had the talent and to act like just because he pitched for 6 innings in one season means that he clearly wouldn't have kept it up is just an asinine belief.
His fastball was low-mid 90s with a slider. That's from years of practice (he always said baseball was his first and favorite sport). Barring injury, he would have made it to the majors as a late relief guy.

No it isn't. To act like he can come back throwing 90+ with accuracy is beyond retarded. He had pitched a total of 6 innings in the last 6 years of his life. You must not have played sports very much. Even if he could pick up a ball and throw 90, that doesn't guarantee that he can throw quality strikes. You get drafted out of high school based on potential. He wouldn't really be getting signed on "potential" at this point. He wold have to prove to someone that he can actually pitch.

This just proves you do not know what you are talking about. 90+ is a dime a dozen. There are NO guarantees that you would make it all the way to the show just because you throw hard.
