If I knew he would pitch like this, I would have started suggesting him the second game of the season.

When people see him pitch for the first time, they see someone with average stuff, average sinker, average change, average breaking ball,

You might say he didn't get a chance because his fastball wasn't fast enough, or his curveball wasn't crisp enough, ... But he can do a lot of things.

The only thing I'd say that's left is that his command of his fastball, slider and split is a hair off.

It would be nice if it happened, but I have no problem working with young pitchers.

With all that, you knew it was going to eventually happen for him.
