I'd like to see more of that control against major league hitters. I've seen many guys who have great stuff and "control" as measured by walks in college and then lose it when professional hitters start laying off their breaking stuff and not chasing fastballs out of the zone. I'm certainly optimistic about him, but Wood has done it against upper minors competition when Leake was pitching against Pac 10 opponents at the same age.
