And, he still hasn’t.   4 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 3 BB, 4 k’s.  

Seems like an easy fix.  Have him skip every other start.  
 

In all seriousness it crazy how he can go from having command of a few pitches to absolutely no control.  He’s been an interesting guy to follow.

5 IP, 2 H, 2 BBs, 2 runs, 1 homer, 7 Ks

81 pitches, 64% for strikes. 15 missed bats.

The key is to convince him he's in a three man rotation.

[Frobby]

Still on the every other start gig.  I don’t think he gets promoted until that stops.

He’s no TOR starter without a couple more ticks on the fastball.

The stats indicate he'd also need to improve his command.

Right.  That comes and goes.  When it’s on he can dominate AA hitters.

What's he throwing these days?  He was 91-93 in Feb.

About the same.  I heard 92 on one of his fastballs.

I remember during the offseason, he was at a pitching facility to increase velocity. I guess there wasn’t any improvement.

He's been 92-95 this season, consistently, while touching 96 a few times.  At least that's what Matt has said or the radar shows on the stream. 

I think some are a little harsh with the inconsistency comments.  Here's his inning by inning results last 3 games:

0 0 0 0 0

3 0 0 0

0 2 0 0 0

5 runs in the last 3 starts, 14 total innings while K'ing 21.  0 runs scored in 12 of 14 innings. The 6 zero's put up after runs are scored are most impressive.  One thing I noticed with him at Nebraska, the more he gets comfortable with the zone the better he gets.  It seems to me he's still trying to figure it out and asks 3-4 times per game where a pitch is. Pretty uncommon across the AA or lower ball I watch.  

Fun forum!

ESPN has him just missing the Top 50.  I didn't see any other O's mentioned as missing the cut.  

MLB just moved him up from 13 to 11 within the O's organization.

Did he pass anyone or just get moved up when Grayson and Gunnar graduated?

Go back to page 1 of this thread.  It was reported he was throwing 93-94, hitting 95.

I don't know.  He was #12 a couple weeks ago and now #11, that's all I'm aware of. 

I believe Grayson & Gunnar were both removed prior to that but don't know that to be a fact.  Sorry.
