coming hope last life rotation signs
We hope to see some real signs of the rotation coming to life in the last month. Or, inevitably, you're going to have to make a decision.
eat guy
He'll be a guy that's going to eat a lot of innings. That's important.
ball goals guys throw time touch
My goals with these guys the first time or two they touch the ball is to throw the ball over the plate, and he did that.
allow command emotional experience figure guys lack physically related success
Some times lack of success is just lack of experience. So what we have to figure out with the young guys is what was missing. Was it a command issue? Was it related to emotional distress? Or were there some things physically that they weren't doing that didn't allow them to be successful.
arm delivery felt guys heading innings miss naked nobody point release spring wants
Nobody wants to miss part of Spring Training. Not only do you have to get your arm in shape, but you have to get a feel for your delivery and feel for your release point and I think that's probably where he felt a little naked heading into the season. He just didn't have the innings the other guys had.
beyond good guys hurdles leagues pitch player pressures talk trying unexpected
There's so much more when you get to the big leagues than a young player can anticipate. And that's beyond the pressures of trying to pitch well from the start. So we will have a good long talk about some of the things that can end up being unexpected hurdles when guys get here.
beyond far guy pitching
If he's on, you'll see a guy pitching so far beyond his years it's frightening.
pitch
He is kind of a combination of everything we have in the rotation. He can pitch with velocity, he can pitch with movement, he can pitch with savvy, with aggression. He is a real pro. He covets information, and he utilizes it.
considered managerial
It didn't look like I would be considered for the managerial position.
couple days feeling last managerial somewhere
My feeling was somewhere in the last couple of days it just didn't look like I would be involved, that I was going to be a consideration for the managerial position.
excited hard overly
It's hard not to get overly excited about him.
challenges considered dealing lie preparing raw rookie time
I don't think he'd be here if we considered him raw and vulnerable. The real challenges lie in just preparing him or dealing with the things he's going through for the first time that most 19-year-olds are going through in rookie ball.
ahead behind low previous ratio starts strike zone
He really commanded the low part of the strike zone and he pitched ahead in the count. His ball-strike ratio was outstanding (28-61). His two previous starts he was up in the zone and he pitched behind in the count.
coach game good mechanics philosophy pitchers pitching time tough
My philosophy is that really good pitchers know their mechanics and are able to self-correct when the game is on the line. A pitching coach can't go out there every time there's a tough situation.
