Does he lack talent or is it instruction ? Is he hurt ? I expected him to get better with our pitching coach . Does he need more appearances? I don’t get BM.


He lacks talent.

His velocity is down but he doesn’t have any good off speed pitches that he can throw with confidence either. His best pitch is a 4 seam FB that has no run. Basically a flat pitch. Then he has trouble locating that one pitch and it will float up in zone occasionally. That’s why he walks a guy here or there and then gives up a homer. He just hasn’t progressed from HS.

His signature pitch is the dreaded off-speed fastball right down the middle.

There's nary a lead safe enough for him as a reliever. He can come in with a 9-1 lead and 4 pitches later 9-5 on the scoreboard. Nasty

I don't think he's regressed, he's just not good.

He was mediocre his freshman year and started out pretty solid last year until he hurt his wrist or whatever it was. Seems it’s been downhill from there but maybe he just doesn’t have it.

People keep saying regress, but when was he good? He zero movement on fastball, and his problem is his mental mindset.

No. His problem is he has zero movement on his fastball.
