ZB had also almost pitched his way out of the big leagues, because he was so inconsistent.

He was obviously talking about Britton before the draft, not 7-8 years into his professional career.

If you are a top guy you might to just wait until next year as you wouldn’t have to wait until 2022 for your bonus.

So, if no 2020 season the Orioles have the number 2 pick in 2020 and 2021?

hoosiers is talking about Britton’s senior year in high school.    You are talking about  5-8 years later.    

I think Britton’s history is more complicated.    He had a very good first couple months in 2011 as a major league starting pitcher, then he hurt his shoulder and was never as effective as a starter again.   Then in 2014 he was converted to a reliever full time and Wallace and Chiti worked with him all spring on honing his command of the sinker low in the zone.    As you say, he perfected it and became a great reliever.    Interestingly, last year he started using his secondary pitches more, to excellent effect.    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/zack-britton-isnt-a-one-pitch-pitcher-anymore/
