I’m really intrigued (or maybe irked) by how much he’s underperformed. I was thrilled to watch him going into this season and he hasn’t lived up to expectations at all. He’s letting mediocre teams compete and I’m really confused by his performances considering the head coach was a former pitching coach. 

His secondary pitches are poor and he makes his living on batters chasing fastballs out of the zone.

Welp, he laid an egg tonight

This guy will most likely be a top 10 pick

And he'll be a huge disappointment in someone's minor league system if he can't start throwing strikes.

Unless he gets a great coach he’s going to get eaten alive at the next level. Very little control and nothing special outside of a fastball.

That goes without saying

He has a plus change up and a slider that has room to improve.

This guy is our "ace?" Yikes!

no, he's not a complete pitcher yet. Just a great prospect with stuff. He just can't throw enough strikes to be an Ace, he's just who we throw on Friday.

At this level, guys will chase those pitches out of the zone if he can get ahead but he can't throw them for strikes to help himself when he throws so few fastballs over the plate.  Fastball command is an enormous problem for him.  A top 10 pick shouldn't have a 6+ era in AAC conference games.

true, his change up in pretty good, but only effective if his fastball is in the zone. I heard at one point tonight that he 34 for 60 on strikes thrown... Just not gonna cut it.
