I'm not a system player. I am a system.
I see it the exact opposite. I see it as a guy who's still much earlier in pitching age than his actual age. He barely threw in college and the Reds have brought him along closer to the pace of a HS draftee than a 3 year collegiate one. I think his stuff will get better with more work and heading into year 3 he's been healthy (25 and 26 starts) and I hope to see him take the next step to AA. I expect he'll have some growing pains over his first 5 or so starts in AA but should settle in and be one of the top 5 pitching prospects in the Reds system headed into 2020.
