Not great but he looked good.  Power FB still there, solid slider.  Command is his biggest issue but he has time.

[Angel Oracle]

Any chance that he can develop a 3rd pitch by ST 2015 (ETA)?

[Second Base]

I was most impressed with the few change ups he threw.  Good fade in away from lefties.  I'm guessing he occasionally substitutes the slider for change up if there's a lefty hitting.  Doesn't necessarily mean he can throw it for a strike, but he can generate some swings and misses with it. 

[SoWhat]

Do you guys have any scouting reports on him?

[Second Base]

This one's relatively dated,  you'll certainly see a better one this offseason.

The control definately needs a lot of work.

Most importantly he got his first AA win. I still see him as a #3 or #4 workhorse in the future.

Hopefully he can get the control down. I think this org has met their quota on pitchers with control problems.

Nice stat line! Let's hope he continues to progress and work on bringing down his walk rate.

[Scott34]

Absolutely brutal right now.

 

He's walked 5 in the 1st inning.  41 pitches, only 2 outs.

 

edit: got the 3rd out.

How the hell do you walk 5 batters in one inning?

[mtangelsfan]

5 walks and only two runs, who was he pitching against, the Angels?

[FireThemAll]

This org has a fetish for pitchers with control problems.

[Scott34]

4.0 IP, 0 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 8 BB, 5 SO.

I'm sure what everyone is wondering is will he get the no-no?
