I just am glad this wasn’t a surgery update on Hall.

You're absolutely right.  Way worse control than in college.  Only walked a little over 4 per 9 innings at T A&M.  Maybe Miami was smart to pass on him and take Max Meyer.  But I don't prefer short  righthanders.

For me, I thought he would cut his walks and keep his dominate strikeout stuff when he pitched professionally full time.  A reasonable assumption..

The guy is also 6'4" and over 200 lbs.  He's a horse.  Watch his video.

I watched him quite a bit at aTm. I'm surprised he's having this much trouble.

Lacy is currently down with injuries.  

I suspect he's been nursing an injury all season and kept it hidden.. That would explain his crazy wildness.

That’s a really high walk rate in college.

DL Hall back throwing on the mound for the first time in eight months.

Well he's not lacking in confidence at least.

Sounds close to a quote from "The Natural"

I'm not over exaggerating when I say his stuff last year was some of, if not the best I've ever seen in the minor leagues. He just has to stay healthy and get the ball over the plate enough to stick as a starter. If he does, watch out, the stuff is incredible.

IF healthy, he gives me the Scherzer vibes.  Tons of stuff and just needs to hone his craft.  But I'm a sucker for these high risk/high reward type guys!
