The thing people need to realize about Rosenthal is that his stuff plays up as a reliever.
His stuff plays up as a starter, not a reliever.

His velocity would go down and his stuff would be reduced if he had to pitch 5+ innings over a full season.
Right, instead of throwing 99-100 for 15 pitches as a closer he'd tone it down to 95-98 consistently for stamina.
His offspeed pitches are great, he just never throws them as a closer because he doesn't have to, he'd mix a ton of offspeed in as a starter and extend his stamina there.
I watched him develop here in the minors, he has a great feel for being a starter he really mixed his pitches well and it was UGLY for the kids facing him. It's just insane that he's a lockdown potential all star closer after seeing him as a starter in the minors. You'd just never have expected it in a million years.

you say that like it's harder to be a closer than a starter
